Stracc Compile Visual Studio 2017 Thread - JA2 Stracciatella mod for Jagged Alliance 2

Hi Stracciatella folks,

I'm attempting to get Stracciatella compiling on Windows with Visual Studio 2017 but having difficulty.

So far I've used:

cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=./cmake/toolchain-msvc.cmake -G "Visual Studio 15 2017" ../

Which successfully builds the VS project.

Then I had to set _SILENCE_TR1_NAMESPACE_DEPRECATION_WARNING in the preprocessor definitions for the gtest and gtest_main projects. This had something to do with std::tr1 being deprecated in gtest, and I'm not sure if it's a good long term solution.

Now I'm trying to get the ja2 project to compile, but getting this error:

ja2-stracciatella-master\_bin\dependencies\lib-fltk\fltk-internal-prefix\src\fltk-internal\src\flstring.h(28): fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'strings.h': No such file or directory [...\ja2-stracciatella-master\_bin\dependencies\lib-fltk\fltk-internal-prefix\src\fltk-internal-build\src\fltk.vcxproj]

As far as I can tell there is a mistaken build directive called HAVE_STRINGS_H that is being set when it shouldn't be. It should be using string.h instead, I think. I've tried setting HAVE_STRINGS_H to 0 in CMakeCache for fltk, but it didn't have any affect.

When building INSTALL I'm also getting a variety of errors like this:

SGP.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _create_engine_options referenced in function _SDL_main

Which I'm not sure how to resolve.

Any help would be much appreciated!
