I already had perl, mysql, and visual studio on my machine. The reason mine won't compile i'm sure has to do with the guide using OLD versions of those applications. I use them for things other then eq emu, so I can't downgrade them. With up to date perl, mysql, and visual studio(all 64 bit versions) the source code does not compile. The compiler hangs with an issue with how the code interacts with perl. It also seems to have a problem using defines that conflict with stock libraries, and I'm not sure if the good old find and replace will be enough to fix that without delving deeper into the code.
This repack saves me the headache of scouring through the code to make it compile. I was going to just run a virtual machine using the old things to compile it, but this saved me the trouble.
It would be nice if someone could do this for the peq database as well, as half the updates fail without altering their scripts. I'm confused why they wouldn't just make full releases at every update.
The point is
It seems like getting eqemu to work is more of a headache then it needs to be. There is a lot of little screwball issues. I've never seen an official binary either. Its not like its a large file, I have to question why there are not any.
