BASS link failure trying to build Win32/x64 targets in VS2022 on Arm

[tomlogic]

I'm getting back to some PinMAME hacking, outside of Visual Pinball. To get started, I pulled the master branch, used the create_vc2022_from_vc2012.bat script to create the solution file, and then opened it in a fresh install of Visual Studio 2022 Community Edition.

Note that I have not installed anything else outside of the Visual Studio installer, other than NASM (is this still even a requirement?).

I'm currently getting the following linking errors:

I'm an embedded developer in my day job, so I don't have much familiarity with desktop apps and how Windows linking/DLLs are supposed to work. It feels like there's a missing configuration in the project to get to the ext/bass libraries/DLLs linked.

Note that I tried winbuild.bat first, but it failed because I don't have CMake installed. That's why I reverted to using the create_vc2022_from_vc2012.bat script.

Have you tried the win_build.bat file to create your solution? I have not had a lot of luck with the version-controlled project files. Requires CMake. You'll want a recent version if you're using VS2022

@tomlogic : Hopefully this helps: https://github.com/vpinball/pinmame/commit/705b9978e55dc3edce7a75efe90c9694921dfaf1

..or are you actually wanting to build x86 binaries?

[tomlogic]

I'm pretty sure I'm building x86 binaries at this point, which is fine for me. I recently moved, and probably won't get back to PinMAME for at least a month. When I do, I'll try getting CMake installed and running winbuild.bat.

Did you manage to get this sorted?

[tomlogic]

@droscoe, I've been tied up with some other projects and haven't come back to attempts to build PinMAME.
