So I have managed to thumble through some version mismatches accumulated over the years to compile gamehook.dll so I thought I would summarise these here:
For those playing in 2022 - Visual Studio needs both an old SDK and 2017 compatibility installed. 2017 Compatibility can be installed via VS installer but I found that the specific SDK version requested by this project had to be downloaded and installed from here (https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/sdk-archive/).
You also need to do what is in this old closed post (https://github.com/philkr/gamehook/issues/11) and clone the simple-web-server/simple-websocket-server repositories to build the server plugin. None of the tagged versions for this work out the box however, in the end I pulled master then made two edits
In server.cpp comment out 'connection->remote_endpoint = std::move(*request -> remote_endpoint);' (Not sure what this will break later??)
Then you either need to add a PythonDir system environment variable that points to the python version you want to use in building the project or manually configure the project using Project -> Properties then modifying both VC++ Directories -> Include Directories and Linker -> General -> Additional Library Directories to point to the python include and libs folders respectively.
Finally make sure the build configuration is set to x64 and release.
Now you should get a successful build and a gamehook.dll file to play with.
To my issue:
I get the command prompt and things appear to be starting but I get More than one GameHookBuffer created. Things will end badly from here on! and then the process gets killed after printing Hooking the io
