Need MFC libraries
JJTech0130 opened this issue · comments
Just an addition to the build instructions,
mdnsresponder requires the MFC component in Visual Studio, which isn't always included. The build fails with cryptic errors otherwise.
Also Clang? Should hold off reporting issues till I get all the way through so I can get them all
Also is it really necessary to compile winsparkle? It appears that there is a dll already in the libraries folder...
Also I'm having to use vcpkg to install openssl, not sure if that's the correct way
And now I'm getting this error...
| Severity | Code | Description | Project | File | Line | Suppression State |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Error | C2039 | codecvt_utf8: is not a member of std |
AltServer | C:\Users\JJTech\source\repos\AltServer-Windows\AltServer\ClientConnection.cpp |

EDIT: Searching the internet, I'm seeing people had deprecation warnings for codecvt_utf8... I wonder if I'm using a newer version where it was finally removed...
EDIT: Just needed to add this to ClientConnection.cpp, as stated in the README 🤦♂️:
#include <codecvt>Now trying to compile ldid.lib for it...
Getting this error:
| Severity | Code | Description | Project | File | Line | Suppression State |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Error | could not open 'C:\Users\JJTech\vcpkg\installed\x86-windows\lib*.lib': invalid argument | ldid | C:\Users\JJTech\source\repos\AltServer-Windows\ldid\lld-link |

EDIT: Only way I could find to fix this is to temporarily modify vcpkg to disable autolinking per microsoft/vcpkg#4359, except removing the condition entirely
I build it successfully in a VM! now to get it to build in appveyor
Can confirm that MFC is needed to build mDNSresponder, specifically, one needs to re-run the Visual Studio 2019 installer, go to the "Individual components" tab, check the box for "C++ MFC for latest v142 build tools (x86 & 64)" and click "Modify"
Thanks for the tip @JJTech0130
