strcpy error in PythonUtils.cpp #790

Natron\Global\PythonUtils.cpp char* pathCpy = strcpy(path.c_str());

Error (active) E0167 argument of type "const char " is incompatible with parameter of type "char " Engine
Error (active) E0165 too few arguments in function call Engine

Hi, everyone. I encountered this issue like above. I googled strcpy function, there are no examples like only take single parameter. Is anyone knows the real solution, of course I know I could prefix with (char*) just do not want change the source code.

Yes, this has been here forever, and this was dead code since Natron has not been compiled with Visual Studio for ages (more than 5 years). If you want to help porting Natron so that it compiles with VS, you are very welcome. You should probably use the RB-2.5 branch with qt5.

Many thanks anyway.

  1. I will leave this alone temporarily because this is not a big issue.
  2. Yes, I am using vs2019 with Qt5 and did not directly compiled successfully so I used a very stupid way, disassembled everything and re-assemble them up.
  3. Thanks for help and I will try to contribute when convenient in return.
  4. By the way, do you know where can find _PyInitNatronEngine's definition? Should be in a lib file just not sure which one is. @devernay
