Problems with Perl510/58 Compile

[Kilralpine]

Ive tried to compile 874 888 and my results have been the same...

If I build it without adding perl510.lib as a dependancy / library I get this error


5>client.cpp
4>perl_groups.cpp
5>Generating Code...
5>Linking...
4>perl_entity.cpp
5>LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'perl510.lib'
5>Creating browse information file...
4>perl_client.cpp




If I add perl510.lib to the "Projects and Solutions" VC+++ Directories It gives me the following error...

It seems these are the last 2 or (1) issues in my opinion that I have left from being able to build clean... If anyone knows anything I could try im all ears... Ive tried referencing a whole perl58 and perl510 directory... I still get the same problems; Its almost like the code is built for perl58 but Its defaulting to perl510 if I in any way add it to the library list... Another thing... why is eqemu source even asking for perl510.lib????

BTW it is failing when its building World and Zone

[Kilralpine]

And another thing, under the Dependencies for both the World and Zone projects there is no reference to a perl510.lib or even perl58.lib for that matter...

[Zandig]

Follow the steps in the guide exactly and it will work:
http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka.php?wakka=VS2008

Also make sure to completely remove any older versions of Perl first before installing Perl 5.10. After you uninstall the previous version of Perl do a search for Perl*.dll and remove any you find before installing 5.10.

[Kilralpine]

The problem seems to be; that every other binary so far ive downloaded asks for the perl that i happen not to be running; its like everytime i update revisions i have to install the opposite version LOL

Ill try compiling on another box so that I dont have to go thru the nightmares of getting my perl working on the world.exe startup; multiple times ive had to use different versions of perl just to get world to launch without throwing errors
