SDK Preview 0.31 not compiling in VS2012 Express Edition

Hello,

I just tried it with VS 2012 Express Edition and when I load the project for 2012 which comes with the SDK, I get the following errors:

Fehler 1 error C1083: Datei (Include) kann nicht geöffnet werden: "../Shaders/Distortion_vs_refl.h": No such file or directory (..\..\..\Src\CAPI\D3D1X\CAPI_D3D10_DistortionRenderer.cpp) d:\programmierung\oculus rift dev\ovr_sdk_win_0.3.1\oculussdk\libovr\src\capi\d3d1x\CAPI_D3D1X_DistortionRenderer.cpp 34 1 LibOVR
Fehler 2 error C1083: Datei (Include) kann nicht geöffnet werden: "../Shaders/Distortion_vs_refl.h": No such file or directory (..\..\..\Src\CAPI\D3D1X\CAPI_D3D11_DistortionRenderer.cpp) d:\programmierung\oculus rift dev\ovr_sdk_win_0.3.1\oculussdk\libovr\src\capi\d3d1x\CAPI_D3D1X_DistortionRenderer.cpp 34 1 LibOVR

I don't know how to solve it. It looks like there are missing some header-files. Could it be, that these are files which must be autogenerated with some additional application?

Any hints how to solve it are highly appreciated?

Kind Regards
Patrick

    Hi again,

    I installed now the VS2013 Express Edition and with that it still doesn't compile through all the samples.

    Any comments/hints how to fix it are highly appreciated,

    Thanks in advance.

    The visual studio project custom build settings for the shaders calls genVertexShaderHeader.bat and genPixelShaderHeader.bat when you do a libovr compile.
    These batch files call shaderreflector.exe, which will generate the Distortion_vs_refl.h that you were missing.

    (I just did a build with vs2012 pro, it generated all the .h files for shaders)

    Hi kojack,

    thanks for your reply. What do you mean with "project custom build settings"? Do I have to change something in the project settings?

    I thought the project for VS 2010, 2012 and 2013 which comes with the SDK have already configured everything properly to compile it the way you are describing it, no?

    Thanks.

    Make sure you are building the LibOVR_With_Samples solution, not the LibOVR_Samples solution. The latter only builds the samples, not LibOVR itself (that's the bit that generates the .h files).

    Here's one of the custom build pages. (click to enlarge)


    Each of the shaders in the CAPI/Shaders folder has a custom build property telling Visual Studio how to build it. Pixel shaders are set to run:
    call %(RelativeDir)genPixelShaderHeader.bat %(Filename) "%(Fullpath)"

    while vertex shaders do the same but with genVertexShaderHeader.bat.

    All I had to do was open the solution and press build. But I'm using Visual Studio 2012 Premium. The express editions may be lacking the ability to do custom build steps.

    Thanks to your reply,

    I came one step further. When I choose the project the other way around (OVR_Samples), than the project compiles through. The tiny room demo is working then, but the oculus world demo is starting but all the content is missing.

    I checked the custom build settings for the shaders and it looks exactly the same as in your picture. I tried then to manually execute the batch-files and then I get an error that the MSCPV100D.dll is missing. I guess that this debug-dll comes with the old 2010 Visual Studio. I don't have the files in my windows system-folders. Maybe that might be the real problem for my issue above?

    Reinstalling the redistributable package of MS2010 doesn't change much because it will only install the release-dll of that file.

    Has anybody an idea where to get this dll from?

    Thank you.

    Hi again,

    I solved the issue by installing Visual Studio 2010 Express Edition (including MSVCP100D.dll), making this Thread "closed".

    Thanks again for your support.

    Kind Regards.

    Oculus really shouldn't distribute dynamic runtime debug applications. Not all VS2012 or 2013 users also have 2010 installed and the ms debug runtime libs aren't allowed to be distributed.

    Either you don't have the DirectX SDK installed or it's not in your path. On my system fxc.exe is located in "/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft DirectX SDK (June 2010)/Utilities/bin/x64/fxc.exe"
