Compilation of detours on vs2012 (Windows 8.1)

Using the visual studio 2012 command tools (i.e. in the 'native tools command prompt' command console) I have run vcvars32.bat, and navigated to *c:\program file(x86)\Microsoft Research\Detours Express 3.0*.

On running nmake in this directory, it begins building successfully, however it then exits with the error:

cl /nologo /nologo /Zi /MT /Gm- /W4 /WX /Od /DDETOURS_BITS=32 /I..\..\include /Gs /DDETOURS_X86=1 /DDETOURS_32BIT=1 /D_X86_ /DDETOURS_OPTION_BITS=64 /Fdobj.X86\vc.pdb /Foobj.X86\member.obj /c member.cpp

member.cpp
member.cpp(88) : error C2440: 'type cast' : cannot convert from 'void (__thiscall CMember::* )(void)' to 'PBYTE &'
Reason: cannot convert from 'overloaded-function' to 'PBYTE *'
There is no context in which this conversion is possible 

member.cpp(90) : error C2440: 'type cast' : cannot convert from 'void (__thiscall CDetour::* )(void)' to 'PBYTE &'

NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\VC\BIN\nmake.exe"' : return code '0x2'
Stop.

Not sure how to move on with this error. I also attempted to:

set DETOURS_TARGET_PROCESSOR=X86

and then "nmake clean" followed by a new "nmake" - however this results in the same error.

as specified in the title, I am building with vs2012, on a windows 8.1 box (x64).

thank you

Solution

ok, so i solved it, so i thought i'd post the answer if anyone else finds it useful.

I've done this by trial and error, so I would still like someone to come on and explain why/what this error is and what caused it etc.

however, here are the changes i made to get it to compile:

#if (_MSC_VER < 1310)
    pfTarget = CMember::Target;
    pfMine = CDetour::Mine_Target;

    Verify("CMember::Target", *(PBYTE*)&pfTarget);
    Verify("*CDetour::Real_Target", *(&(PBYTE&)CDetour::Real_Target));
    Verify("CDetour::Mine_Target", *(PBYTE*)&pfMine);
#else
    //Verify("CMember::Target", (PBYTE)(&(PBYTE&)CMember::Target));
    //Verify("*CDetour::Real_Target", *(&(PBYTE&)CDetour::Real_Target));
    //Verify("CDetour::Mine_Target", (PBYTE)(&(PBYTE&)CDetour::Mine_Target));

    pfTarget = &CMember::Target;
    pfMine = &CDetour::Mine_Target;

    Verify("CMember::Target", *(PBYTE*)&pfTarget);
    Verify("*CDetour::Real_Target", *(&(PBYTE&)CDetour::Real_Target));
    Verify("CDetour::Mine_Target", *(PBYTE*)&pfMine);
#endif

my changes are in the 2nd half 'else' statement, original code is commented out.

For each error (relevant line numbers in original question) - I commented out what was there, copied and pasted from the 1st half "if" section", but changed from "pfTarget = CMember::Target;" to "pfTarget = &CMember::Target;" (based on instruction from the compiler).

seems to be two different issues, first taking the wrong path in the if/else block (_MSC_VER supposed to be set somewhere and isn't?) and secondly the required change from CMember::Target to &CMember::Target.

thanks
