QUESTION re: building... #1

Open ianken opened 12 years ago

ianken commented 12 years ago

1- I'm building in VS2010. So not sure if that's the source of my grief. You noted you're using 2012. I could not get the installer project to work under 2012 RC even after installing the InstallShield goo. 2- The installer project reference art assets that are not in the GIT. (favico and bannerlogo) easily worked around. 3- The project reference the easfuscator.net product. I REMed it out in the project properties.

Anyway, I have it building but the resultant installed bits show no thumb nails and does not stream. I made no changes to the code.

There are the following warnings:

Warning 5 Unable to find dependency 'ULTRAID3LIB' (Signature='(null)' Version='0.9.6.8') of assembly 'ShellUtilities.dll' C:\Users\Ian Kennedy\Desktop\RP\Server\RemotePotatoSetup\RemotePotatoSetup.vdproj RemotePotatoSetup Warning 6 Unable to find dependency 'MICROSOFT.WINDOWSAPICODEPACK.SHELL' (Signature='(null)' Version='1.1.0.0') of assembly 'ShellUtilities.dll' C:\Users\Ian Kennedy\Desktop\RP\Server\RemotePotatoSetup\RemotePotatoSetup.vdproj RemotePotatoSetup Warning 7 Processing COM reference "WMPLib" from path "C:\Windows\system32\wmp.dll".

Thanks for posting and thanks for being the first guinea pig test builder!

Looking at those errors:

Looking at the lack of streaming, are you sure that's a build issue and not something else? Is there anything in the server logs? You should check that ffmpeg.exe and pThreadGC2.dll have both installed to the correct location, i.e.: C:\Program Files (x86)\FatAttitude\Remote Potato\toolkit

One other approach might be to do a normal install of Remote Potato from the current stable download and compare to check there are no missing files. You could also consider just building the server DLLs and overwriting them on top of your current stock installation.

I built the streaming support DLL and attempted to replace the release bits in a default install and just broke streaming. :-) The build succeeded with no errors.

I'll give it a try again next week.

Those missing references are indeed in the repository:

And they were in the ShellUtilities References in the project.

Removing and re-adding them in ShellUtilities didn't solve the problem.

However removing, adding them to a different project (e.g. RPSerevr), build, removing them again, and re-add them to ShellUtilities did solve it.
