Compiling Problems
 

I really need help compiling an edited version of the EQEMU. I tried to use Borland C++ Compiler but I do not know C++ and the directions are way over my head. What I am asking is for someone when the have time, to write up something to tell me how to get my source compiled. It doesn't even have to be with Borland but I prefer detailed instructions for a compiler that is downloadable. Thank you so much.

One more thing. I have been with the EQEMU since version 1.7 , but I finally registered. You guys are doing great! Thanks for a lot of fun. Anyththing is fine.

Also, if you have anything someone who does not program can do, send it to me. I have time to do anything! Thanks for your time.

P.S. If worse comes to worse, I will post my source here so maybe someone will be kind enough to compile it for me!

You need to download zlib, www.zlib.org and put the includes into your include path.. You also need to add zlib.lib to your lib path, and put mysql/include path.

Its not really that hard, if you've used a compiler before, it really shouldnt be that big of an issue.

Thats not to say you won't have other issues with Borland though..

If you don't know C++, then why praytell are you trying to compile it?

MSVC++
 

That is utterly true!

Find the options/settings section of your compiler and add a path to the above files.

Fixed everything for me running Microsoft VisualStudio C++ 6.0

And all I can do is the very basics on C++, I can write a program that'll accept text then display it on the screen. rofl

My version of an EQemu would consist of :

Server Output --> Hello, who are you?
User Input ------> Cheeses
Server Output --> Hi Cheeses, you have been slain.
Windows Error ----> Blue Screen press CTRL+ALT+DEL to continue
Reboot Scandisk ---> 384 clusters of BAD SECTORS
User Output ----> Son of a B***H

Yep that about sums it up.
:D

Thank!
 

Thanks guys for the help! I almost got it working. I will download the file when I get home but now I am at school doing work... um yeah, work. Thanks again to the two people who replied.

EQEMU Rocks!
Keep up the good work!

One more thing: I realize you guys are working very hard on the 0.3.2. release. I have one request. Don't rush it! Take your time! We owe you more than we can give.
