Compiling

[Maniac]

Ok I've searched through what I could find in the forumn and was wondering if anyone knows if i even can compile with Borland's free compiler? If so could anyone give me a clue where to begin since i seem to be more than a little lost?
thanks =)

I cna't give details, but here are some things that you will probably need to look into.

You will need to add the same resource files as the VC++6 setup, see other post regarding this. There will be possible code changes required for the different compiler. A new make file or project file. Any changes due to differences in the support libraries included in Borland's compiler...

So basically it'd be easier to pick up VC++6 =P
Guess I look into that later today mabye, thanks =)

Ok I got VC++ 6 , and managed to get it halfway working, just wondering if anyone knows what would be causing this..

Thx in advance for any help=)

Look for inversexy on line 11 of eq_packet_structures.h and figure out what is wrong. Try looking for another definition of inversexy and copying the syntax.

Look for a syntax error in npc.cpp near line 475 and fix it.

Make sure you have zlib.h and it is in your include (or is it lib) path

Ah thanks again finally got it working, now to search for some snippets hehe =)
