Problems Trying to Compile 0.6.4 w/ Visual Studio 2003

sounds like files are missing from your project. You need logsys.cpp and EQ*Packet.cpp in it. I will fix this in cvs.

Thank you for your quick response. I will try recompiling once I get the needed files and let you know how it goes.

[sesmar]

I looked in my source folder and I was able to find both files

EQPacket.cpp
logsys.cpp

In the common folder.

[Doodman]

You will need all the EQ*Packet.cpp files:
EQChatPacket.cpp
EQLoginPacket.cpp
EQMailPacket.cpp
EQPacket.cpp
EQWorldPacket.cpp
EQZonePacket.cpp

And, by the looks of your logs:
opcodemgr.cpp

I have checked and have all of these files.

However, I do not believe it to be a problem with missing files as I would not have made it passed the compile stage of the build. The errors I am getting are during the linking stage. After doing a little searching I have found that the problem could be due to Library Dependencies. If you goto Project->Properties.

On this window you click on:
Configuration Properties->Linker->Input: under Additional Dependencies I have:

odbc32.lib
odbccp32.lib
wsock32.lib
zlib.lib
mysqlclient.lib

listed. Are these all that are required or am I missing some? Thank you for your help so far.

Well, after double checking all the settings and checking all the install paths for MySql, Perl, and zLib I have been able to get the source from 0.6.2 and 0.6.3 to compile again. Once I was able to compile these two I compared the project settings for the Zone Project from 0.6.3 to the settings in the 0.6.4 Source and made sure everything was the same ( which I had to make a few corrections to make sure it all matched up ). However I am still not able to get version 0.6.4 to compile for me.

Also after doing a lot of searching on the internet for similar problems I am fairly certain it is a linking error and not a compile error. I seems that I am missing some .lib in my dependencies, however, I am unable to pin point the problem.

Once again thank you for any help you can provide.

yes, it is a linking error. This can happen from missing .cpp/.obj files or from missing libs. These are from missing .cpp files.
