how to include RakNet into LE project

[VicToMeyeZR]

I seem to always get a bunch of Windows SDK errors if I try to include raknet into my LE project.

 

Any of y'all that are using RakNet how did you setup your projects?

[Laurens]

What kind of errors are you getting? If you could post the build/link log, we can probably tell what the problem is.

That only about half of it. All I am including is the header files to the project, then I use

#include "RakPeerInterface.h"

 

It seems to be header conflicting between the engine headers and the raknet headers...

 

I really hate compilers, I can never understand how the freaking things work. lol

[Laurens]

Are you including the windows API yourself? If you are, the ordering is important. I don't remember if you need to include either windows.h or RakNet first though but try both and see what works.

 

Cheers!

[VicToMeyeZR]

Im not including anything.. The engine includes Windows.h but I will try it

[Mumbles]

Im not including anything.. The engine includes Windows.h but I will try it

 

Similar but not identical, I use winsock. I have to include winsock2.h before engine.h otherwise I get a load of redefinition errors, kinda like the ones you look to be getting

 

WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN makes no difference just in case you were curious...

 

Edit: infact, maybe try including winsock2.h - since it seems to include almost everything windows.h does anyway

[VicToMeyeZR]

Mumbles, that was the issue

[Road Kill Kenny]

Hehe I had a problem with this one..

 

There is a bug in some windows stuff.. To fix it you must either:

 

1: Include all RakNet includes before engine.h

 

or

 

2: #include "WindowsIncludes.h" before you include engine.h (WindowsIncludes.h is in the RakNet Source)

 

It took me a while to figure this out first time but at least its a nice easy fix

[VicToMeyeZR]

Well, I am glad its not just me. Thanks Ken, I will try that also.

[VicToMeyeZR]

Yes Ken, that worked perfectly. thank you

[Guest Red Ocktober]

verrrrry informative thread...

 

thx guys...

It's been awhile since I've played with RakNet so thanks for this refresher. I'm about to make a DLL that uses RakNet for using with Lua for my game and if I'm able to make it generic enough I'll release how I did it for others to do. I don't think I can release the actual DLL as the RakNet guy frowns on that I guess.

[VicToMeyeZR]

Yeah, since 4.0 he has kind of got a little more tight with the system... But its all good. I was going to try to wrap into lua myself, as I think it would be to confusing to have half written in c++ and half in lua..
