I am not sure how many people are still interested in the window version of Steemd. I have spent a lot of time to get it to compile with VS2013. Here is some information that I gathered during the process. I hope some coder is able to correct these codes @ source and make it VS2013 compliance. Otherwise, it will be hard to have the next window version of Steemd,
at least not VS2013 compiled.
Anyways, when I was compiling with VS2013,
I encountered the following errors:
The errors were caused by this commit adding fixed_string definition on Bump fc#476.
I had to make some changes in order for it to complied.
- 1). I had to apply the same changed that was on v0.14.2
- I had a pull request on this, but I closed it after I got these errors on v0.14.3.
* 2). I had to revert the codes on these three files: flat.hpp, flat_fwd.hpp andvariant.hpp that is from adding fixed_string definition
* I didn't want to revert the code back, but the hardfork was happening and I was not able to find a fix besides unchanging the codes. I believe this change does not affect any newly add-on features.
- 3.) I have to revert back Update mining stats display ticket#282 # 484, and patched the division by zero bug.
I have been running this compiled version since the hardfork. It is very stable.
I hope someone has a better solution to fix these errors.
Here is the binary if anyone is interested.

*UPDATE: # 2). NO NEED TO REVERT CODES. Just change a total of four line of codes.
To get rid of fc::raw::unpack ambiguous call error.
I change the flat_fwd.hpp line# 19, and 20
from:
line#19 template<typename Stream, typename K, typename... V>
line#20 void unpack( Stream& s, flat_map<K,V...>& value ) ;
to
line#19 template<typename Stream, typename K, typename V, typename... A>
line#20 void unpack( Stream& s, flat_map<K,V,A...>& value ) ;
to match flat.hpp line# 43 and 44:
line#43 template<typename Stream, typename K, typename V, typename... A>
line#44 inline void unpack( Stream& s, flat_map<K,V,A...>& value )
To get rid of fc::from_variant ambiguous call error.
I change the variant.hpp line# 93, and 94
from:
line#93 template<typename K, typename... T>
line#94 void from_variant( const variant& var, fc::flat_map<K,T...>& vo );
to:
line#93 template<typename K, typename T, typename... A>
line#94 void from_variant( const variant& var, fc::flat_map<K,T,A...>& vo );
to match flat.hpp line# 117 and 118:
line#117 template<typename K, typename T, typename... A>
line#118 void from_variant( const variant& var, flat_map<K, T, A...>& vo )
Great! Glad to know you solved the issues (I was unable to help much).
Thanks @abit.
Well, the problem was the commit adding fixed_string definition. I have pointed out the lines on Github flat.hpp line44, flat_fwd.hpp line20 and variant.hpp line 94. Those changes cause the
ambiguous call to overloaded function. I decide to revert back to the previous codes to get rid of the errors.I will try it thank you.
