compile issue, Unresolved external symbol
 

I am trying to compile a 0.5.5 version of the emulator for a friend of mine.(using M$ Vs2003 on a win xp machine) I realize this release is out of date but he wants to stick with it because it is very playable . Anyway the world project and the eqmemshare compile just fine but the Zone returns the following output

Can anyone point me in right direction?

NooB/learner :?

Sounds like you need to add the file zone/beacon.cpp to your VS.NET solution/project, then rebuild.

I don't know why I didn't see that.
Ya know sometimes I think staying up to late affects the brain....

Thanks Compiled perfectly :oops:
