Answer 1

I have the same problem using Visual Studio 2008 Team Edition when trying to recompile the AngelScript libraries for my projects.

I'm still looking into it, but I was hoping someone could shed light on this.

Thanks Adam

Answer 3

If someone still needs a solution for this (as I needed when I came here):

 

The VC9 CRT seems to define vsnprintf on its own, a simple shortcut that resolves to _vsnprintf. This conflicts with some third party libs (such like AngelScript) which define vsnprintf for their purposes. For AngelScript the solution is simpel: comment out the line

 

Code Block

#define vsnprintf(a, b, c, d) _vsnprintf(a, b, c, d)

 

 

 

in as_config.h, line 283. Works fine for AngelScript, it compiled without errors afterwards.

Answer 4

i am trying to compile bind and getting same error.

can someone help

Answer 5

Please look at config.h line 163 and comment that line out ( //#define vsnprintf _vsnprintf )
Note: If line 163 for you doesn't look the same, leave it alone and search for the line with vsnprintf in it
