I am trying to get Rebol 3 to compile in Microsoft Visual Studio 2013, but so far I have been unsuccessful. I am using a Git repo for my source which does not come with a solution. I have tried creating a solution and manually importing all of the code files, but that does not work. I really do not know what I am doing, so any help would be appreciated.

Please clone my repository: https://github.com/zsx/r3

Once you have cloned the repository, checkout the "atronix" branch (you're probably on it when you first cloned it), and initialize & update the submodule:

git clone https://github.com/zsx/r3.git
cd r3
git submodule init
git submodule update

Open the ms vs solution file make/msvc/r3.sln

Edit: The old branch "msvc" is merged to "atronix", so use this one instead.

  • When I try to clone it, I only get one branch, called atronix. It does not contain a solution. If I download the repository as a zip, I can get the solution, but I don't know how to work with a repository that I have as a zip. Any tips? – MemoirsofSmeagol Nov 18 '14 at 19:11
  • To checkout "msvc": `git checkout -b msvc -t origin/msvc`, assuming your "origin" points to my github repository – Shixin Zeng Nov 18 '14 at 20:41

  • When I try to compile the solution, I get an error stating "Cannot open source file: 'C:\Users\Owner\Source\Repos\r3-msvc\src\libffi\src\x86\win32.S'" – MemoirsofSmeagol Nov 19 '14 at 17:03
  • Could you check if the file exists on your system? if not, check if 'C:\Users\Owner\Source\Repos\r3-msvc\src\libffi' is empty. – Shixin Zeng Nov 19 '14 at 17:05
