Rex, I totally agree. For some reason, the EQEmu community feels it a certain tabbo, if you will, to share binaries of the emulator in these forums

It is NOT that they are taboo, it is just that it seems as though NOBODY that is asking for binaries, is reading what it says "NO SUPPORT, if you are not able to blah blah blah.. then you should NOT be downloading these files." The reason for this is because the devs and admins do NOT feel like they need to hold everyone's hand on this issue and help them compile (which would happen every time eqemu is updated). Either figure it out, or dont run it... Don't complain because there is NOT enough help on this issue, because truthfully and technically these files were NOT meant for you (you meaning the persons asking for help compiling).... Compiling on ANY C/C++ compiler can be done, but you have to know what you are doing.. It is NOT the scope of this board to teach you how to do this.. NO SUPPORT means NO SUPPORT..
The devs dont even have to tell you of an updated EQEMu, especially since it it NOT a release... This is the purpose of telling you DO NOT PATCH UNTIL TOLD YOU CAN.... Because the actual supported release is always going to be 1 or so patches behind the Developer's Release (which means person's that can compile, or experts if you will)...
Now, I am not trying to flame here, but I just get tired of seeing posts regarding this issue, and then people getting mad because no-one will help them on this... Hell, you have to agree to the terms (NO SUPPORT) before you can even download the files.. This is like saying, that you read them and agreed to them, but figured "what the hell, someone will help me out"...
And, please dont send me PM's asking for binaries. I have gotten many of these. I dont know C++ (am trying to learn as of 2 months ago), but I had to figure it out from the boards here how to do it. I did it and so can you.. Now when a new release comes out, I am able to keep up with the times. Try learning how to do some of this, and then you will feel like you are a part of the community, instead of begging for support, and being pissed because no one will help...Now, you will see that I try and help out where I can (when someone has errors or something goes wrong or something like that), but the people that make NO attempt to learn and do, they get the NO SUPPORT response from me...
If you want things hand-fed to you on a spoon, go back to EQLive all you have to do is pay a montly fee, and you are there...
