How to recompile

I know this is a very noobish question, but if I edit something in the source and want it to take effect, how would I actually go about doing that?

What operating system are you using?

The wiki has tons of information if you search it a bit. Here is a post about a wiki page that should give you the info you need:

I am trying to recompile using that guide but I've already ran into a problem, idk how to install zlib. I just have a folder with everything in it and I'm not sure how to use a .dll

I did everything that that guide says and it isnt working at all. I keep succeeding and 1 build and getting 6 failures. One thing i noticed a few times was

Code:

LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'zlib.lib'

even though I am almost certain I pointed it to the places it says in the guide.
I also saw a ton of things like

Code:

7>c:\documents and settings\hp_administrator\my documents\solo server\source\common\../common/servertalk.h(443) : warning C4200: nonstandard extension used : zero-sized array in struct/union
7>        Cannot generate copy-ctor or copy-assignment operator when UDT contains a zero-sized array

I did everything that guide said, I even got the new perl and installed it correctly.

The warnings are many and harmless.

As for zlib, if you have added the zlib lib and include directories to your VC++ environment, you may need make a copy of zlib\lib\zdll.lib as zlib.lib.
