[noob] Dev C++
 

ok im not quite sure how to compile the source for eqemu.....and i cant afford to go out and buy Visual Studio C++...... So im using Dev C++ and i dont know where to start could anyopne help me? Ive looked at the Howto above butt hats for Visual Studio....... If anyone could help me i would truly appreciate it.......

Lol.

Anyways,

Most C++ compilers work the same way, you set in a preferences menu which files you want to be included in the project (Which will be compiled into your finished product), what folders to draw all the necessary include files/lib files (.h, .lib, etc) from, and hit compile.

The source should come with a .dsw file, which is a project workspace, which contains already pre-saved, what files should be included into the build. The only thing you may have to do is go into options and add a few directories to the include/library locations. Fool around, you'll get it.

ok thanks that helped lots!!!!
