How to compile the source ?

[fredv]

Hi,

i'm reading the source files of LICECap and i'm going back to my student years, coding C++

I would be happy to customize a few things in this wondeful tool but i don't know which tool to use to compile it ..

is it Visual Studio 6 ?

can someone tell me ? (i'm on windows and of course as the change i want to do are very small, i could easily use a command line compiler, no need for a modern IDE)

Thanks

hmm i think i have found .. i'm using VC 6.0
it works fine but when compiling, i got some errors like that :

wdl\lice\lice_palette.cpp(270) : error C2520: conversion from unsigned __int64 to double not implemented, use signed __int64

what can i do ?
(only errors, otherwise, it seems to be ok)

Thanks

to fix the error you can try installing the "processor pack" from here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualc/aa336441.aspx

alternatively if you don't want to download extra packages you can try:

open: wdl\lice\lice_palette.cpp

either change the line [11]:

WDL_UINT64 sumrgb[3];
// to 
WDL_INT64 sumrgb[3];
// or to
signed long long sumrgb[3];

or try changing the lines [270]:

int r = (int)((double)p->sumrgb[0]/(double)p->colorcount);
int g = (int)((double)p->sumrgb[1]/(double)p->colorcount);
int b = (int)((double)p->sumrgb[2]/(double)p->colorcount);
// to:
int r = (int)((double)((long long)p->sumrgb[0])/(double)((long long)p->colorcount));
int g = (int)((double)((long long)p->sumrgb[1])/(double)((long long)p->colorcount));
int b = (int)((double)((long long)p->sumrgb[2])/(double)((long long)p->colorcount));

hope this solves

I really wish to be happy too. However, I dont know how to edit source code, i want to make some changes to the gui - with borders, colors. The clone from github doesn't get opened up - says some files missing. I dont hv vs6 either. Only vc++2010 express. Any help or guide on how to open the source code successfully will be really appreciated.
I know this is a very old post, but still hoping to get answer from any of the many fans of licecap!

Thanks!
