Lets see if the rest works now...

  Hi,

  Yes im using the latest version.
  Ill try that now since creating lib using .mak file doesnt work. I followed instructions in .dsp file wich say:

  !MESSAGE This is not a valid makefile. To build this project using NMAKE,
  !MESSAGE use the Export Makefile command and run
  !MESSAGE 
  !MESSAGE NMAKE /f "enet.mak". 

  Using export makefile doesnt create anything, without the .mak file it wont work :(

    Hiya,

    Are you using the latest version from enet.bespin.org?

    I don't think you should need a .mak file... try creating an empty library project, adding all of the .c files, and compiling to create a lib file. In project directories under includes, you're going to have to add the path to the enet-1.0/include/ folder. Make sure to add ws2_32 or whatever it's called to the library objects.

    Good luck,
    Paul

      Tried to compile the supplied .dsp i get the follwoing error:

      NMAKE : fatal error U1052: file 'enet.mak' not found

      Adding files manualy just produces more errors

      Doh stuck as i can get :(

      Yeah, you'll definitely have to create it ;D Enet's source distribution comes with a VC project file (.dsp); try compiling that. It'll produce some sort of .lib file, then just point your project at it.

      Another alternative to all this is that you just add all of the enet source files directly to your project and don't bother linking at all. I think that should work too. But linking is probably the better solution.

        Hi,

        thank you for you input, I tried to add enet.lib to Project -> Settings -> Link tab -> Object/library modules, right at the end where
        tutorial said you should put ws2_32.lib, tried to compile and then got:

        LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file "enet.lib"

        Where do I get enet.lib? (/emote fears you will say " you have to create it and ofc next question would be "how?" :-)

        Thank you for your help

        Hello,

        Yeah, you have to link against the enet library in order to use it. You should probably go read up about this sort of thing, you'll likely have to do it again ;D That -lenet line doesn't apply to VC++, that's GCC command-line style. For VC++, you'll probably have to go into your Project Settings in the Linker section and add enet.lib to the list of libraries that the project needs.

        Hope this helps,
        - Paul

          Hi,

          Im a newb in C++ waters so i need some quick help.
          Been doing some things in VC++ 6 and it worked nicely, with alot of pain of course :-)
          Anyway while working on network FPS game using, well one game engine (dont want advertise here) I found it is cripling me
          since I am able to create games for only 4 players and its perfromance is not what I expected. In order to learn more and make 
          this "thing" work properly I ventured into creating network dll as this engine supports use of such things.
          I tried RakNet and did some basic stuff with it unfortunaly they changed their licencing and i dont have $$ to buy it.
          So i found Enet, look like very much what I need.

          Unfortunaly im a VC newb so I cant get it to work.

          I follwed brief instructions on how to get it into my project and I have read trough threads on disscusion board named 
          "Initialization" and havent found solution.
          I have included only:

          #include "enet\enet.h"

          and added functions that are suposed to only initialize and deinitialize Enet:

          #define DLL_USE
          #include "adll.h"



          //#include "win32.h"

          BOOL APIENTRY DllMain( HANDLE hModule, 
                                 DWORD  ul_reason_for_call, 
                                 LPVOID lpReserved
                )
          {
           engine_bind();
              return TRUE;
          }

          DLLFUNC var DllInitNet(void) //main (int argc, char ** argv) 
          {
              if (enet_initialize () !              {
                  //fprintf (stderr, "An error occurred while initializing ENet.\n");
                  return _VAR(1);//return EXIT_FAILURE;
              }
              atexit (enet_deinitialize);
           return _VAR(0);
          }

          Compiling spits this out and i cant get rid of it:

          test1.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _enet_deinitialize
          test1.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _enet_initialize
          Debug/test1.dll : fatal error LNK1120: 2 unresolved externals
          Error executing link.exe.


          In other "similar" threads people said "put -lenet" somewhere, but I dont know where to put that, if that would solve it?
