How to recompile
 
I know this is a very noobish question, but if I edit something in the source and want it to take effect, how would I actually go about doing that?

What operating system are you using?

The wiki has tons of information if you search it a bit. Here is a post about a wiki page that should give you the info you need:

I am trying to recompile using that guide but I've already ran into a problem, idk how to install zlib. I just have a folder with everything in it and I'm not sure how to use a .dll

I did everything that that guide says and it isnt working at all. I keep succeeding and 1 build and getting 6 failures. One thing i noticed a few times was
Code:
LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'zlib.lib'
even though I am almost certain I pointed it to the places it says in the guide.
I also saw a ton of things like
Code:
7>c:\documents and settings\hp_administrator\my documents\solo server\source\common\../common/servertalk.h(443) : warning C4200: nonstandard extension used : zero-sized array in struct/union
7>        Cannot generate copy-ctor or copy-assignment operator when UDT contains a zero-sized array
I did everything that guide said, I even got the new perl and installed it correctly.

The warnings are many and harmless.

As for zlib, if you have added the zlib lib and include directories to your VC++ environment, you may need make a copy of zlib\lib\zdll.lib as zlib.lib.

......what?

blackdragonsdg 07-12-2009 02:16 AM
Open Visual Studio and go to the tools menu and select options. Expand the Projects and Solutions menu in the left pane then choose VC++ Directories. Look for where it says Show directories for: and select Include Files. Now add the file path to the zlib.lib file.

That's because the guide links a file that doesn't have zlib.lib in it

It has a file called zdll.lib which you can just rename to zlib.lib without issues if you are compiling with Visual Studio 2008

The guide is for Express Edition.

I haven't tried the full version so I can't comment on that.

You do not have to rename any zlib file using Express Edition.

Randymarsh9 07-12-2009 01:02 PM
well I renamed everything in C:\zlib\lib to be zlib instead of zdll, but I still failed 6 builds. When I look at it it still says stuff like fatal error: cannot open zlib.li. I have C:\zlib\lib and C:\zlib\include both in my directories thing too

Shendare 07-12-2009 01:20 PM
To clarify blackgragonsdg's instructions, the lib folder must be in your "Library files" list, and the include folder must be in your "Include files" list. Make sure it's set this way.

Randymarsh9 07-12-2009 02:35 PM
ok so can anyone just give an actual list of the things u need to add into the directories and what part? It's kinda hard trying to balance between what you all say and what the guide says

Shendare 07-12-2009 02:43 PM
http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka.php?wakka=VS2008

According to the guide, we are following the instructions, specifically this part:

Quote:
5) Update your Microsoft Visual C+(+) 2008 Express Edition directories:
'Tools/Options/Projects and Solutions/VC+(+) directories'
and add the following directories using the dropdown "Show directories for" box:

* Include files: C:\mysql\include
* Include files: C:\perl\lib\CORE
* Include files: C:\zlib\include
* Library files: C:\mysql\lib\opt
* Library files: C:\perl\lib\CORE
* Library files: C:\zlib\lib


use the "New Line (Ctrl-Insert)" to add the above directories in the appropriate section.
