Can't include file "atlbase.h"

Compiling or Editing the Panda Source

Hi,
I’m trying to compile makepanda
but i’m getting a error :frowning:

------ Build started: Project: makepanda, Configuration: Release Win32 ------
  Generating library cache...

========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========

Any one now how to solve this?

I am using VC 2010 on Vista

Not sure if I am right here, but compiling Panda3D on Windows requires you to have a particular version of the Platform SDK which contains ATL support (if you want to have all modules compiled).

If you don’t need the webcam module you can compile with “–no-directcam” option and current versions of the Windows SDK/Platform SDK. I am using the current Windows SDK and this command:

python makepanda\makepanda.py --everything --no-directcam --no-contrib

More information is in the Panda3D manual:
