Compiling on Windows...

The latest CVS changelog states that the source was hacked or tweaked to be compatible for windows compiling, but I haven't found that it is. I got an error compiling in the world.exe (shown below), not sure what it was related too either. Anyone want to confirm it can be compiled on windows? I'm thinking it may have to do with me using VB6 but I've compiled on it before.

Code:

Thats just missing files in the project, make sure everything but WesQuests.cpp and Oldcode.h/.cpp is in the project.

Specifically, it looks like you need to add /common/extprofile.cpp and extprofile.h, /common/Condition.cpp and Condition.h, and /common/timeoutmgr.cpp and timeoutmgr.h to the respective world common folders. You'll also probably have to add a few files to the zone config as well if I remember correctly.

i added those files to my project and now i'm left with only 4 errors. They are as follows:

mysqlclient.lib(my_init.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp__RegCloseKey@4 referenced in function _my_win_init
mysqlclient.lib(my_init.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp__RegEnumValueA@32 referenced in function _my_win_init
mysqlclient.lib(my_init.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp__RegOpenKeyExA@20 referenced in function _my_win_init

If your compiler does not have the appropriate library files for that..you're probably not going to be able to compile it with that. And I believe because the Microsoft VS .NET Compiler is not a free compiler..distributing the headers and libraries would be warez..but dont quote me on that.

Microsoft distributes (or did at one time) a Windows Software Developer Kit (SDK) at its web site. It has all the includes and libs for Windows API's. I think it's either in the Downloads section of microsoft.com or on msdn.microsoft.com. But don't quote me on that. (<--- oops I quoted you)
