How-To Compile & Install

[spideyak]

Just thought I'd share my work that I've done for mainly my benefit; however, somebody may also like this how-to. It's definitely a work in progress:

Just my way of paying back a little work for those who've done most of it =)...

Nice work, but normally guides like that are better off being put in our Wiki. Then, if your website ever vanishes, or if someone else wants to help update/correct your guide, they can. Something to consider, anyway.

I'm having a go at following this guide and am getting errors like the ones below
Compiling...

I'm using the files downloaded by using svn. I've never used this program before and don't know what i might have missed. My include directories seem to be the same as in the guide? Can anyone tell me what is wrong, or is there some sort of log needed to make sense of it?

sorry, just noticed it says "Do not post support topics here." but i can't see any way i can delete the post.

Those are warnings anyway. In a perfect world, there wouldn't be any, but they also shouldn't break it either.

I just did my C++ compile and got this output at the end

========== Build: 3 succeeded, 2 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========

I followed your install step by step. Will I be ok?

Also, what do I do after I create the database? Your instructions end right there.
