Vsprintf etc build errors help?

by Joseph Euan · in Torque Game Engine Advanced · 11/26/2006 (2:34 pm) · 1 replies

A few days a go I re-formatted my pc and today I decided to take a look at the latest version of TSE (
4.1?)

I've installed Visual Studio 8 and the directx SDK (setup the lib and include folders within VS)
But when I compile I get the following errors:
Warning	1	warning C4996: 'vsprintf' was declared deprecated	c:\documents and settings\joseph\desktop\game dev\tse\lib\libqslim\mixmsg.cxx	79	
Warning	2	warning C4996: 'strdup' was declared deprecated	c:\documents and settings\joseph\desktop\game dev\tse\lib\libqslim\mxblockmodel.cxx	135

Anyone got any ideas?

I can not see any errors with vSprintf, those are warnings and nothing to worry about. Basically Microsoft wants you to use some other function that is safer/better (supposed to be anyway) and they have then declared the old functions deprecated so that people will switch.

As for your only error, there was a post about that as recently as today.
