Guys, I'm dyin' here

Update: I thought it might have to do with my compilation of the zlib.lib but it turned out even using a different precompiled one that came with one of the downloads, it still threw all of the same linking problems, for instance,
<Compiler Output>
Error 48 error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: __thiscall std::exception::exception(char const * const &)" (??0exception@std@@QAE@ABQBD@Z) libcpmt.lib

</Compiler Output>
(Just to give an idea of what's going on here. And it's all to do with the object files.)
I'm not sure if I'm missing an important library file or maybe one of the headers is wrong, but I doubled checked everything and it's according to what you posted, I'm running through google looking up what other people have had this problem, but nothing terribly similar other than people who were missing a library file or trying to compile a single threaded app using msvcrt, etc. Lemme know what you thinks up or gimme a hint if ya could.

Thanks,

Y'know that part about ignore specific libraries under linker settings? Is that important when your compiling? I just got world AND zone to compile without those in there, didn't flag at all. Does it effect the build at all anyway when executing those parts? Just curious, lemme know please. And is the inclusion of the eqlaunch necessary? I was able to compile that no prob with what was given (aside from the edits to the project file). I'm just curious mostly if since it compiled, is it going to work?

I use Visual Studio 2003 ver (1.1) and i have to have the ignor lib's certain lib files or i get many link errors. The compiler you are using must not include some libs during another part of the build. The Eqlaunch is important if you are using mysql5, if you are using mysql4 you could use the precompiled release. I just like to compile the entire project just in case i modify a table for my own porpose, and yes the eqlaunch does use the database.
