Errors while trying to compile

[Darkonig]

i wasn't saying use lower version. I'm using mysql 5.0.41 with no problems. Just make sure you have everything configured correctly not counting the emu project. IE. make sure all of your required includes and libraries (zlib, mysql, perl) are in appropriate places, that you have the include path and library path in the compiler set to those places, and that you don't have any conflicting paths that would select a different version.

Getting visual studio 2005 setup correctly was the biggest challenge in compiling the emu. There is a good guide to getting it setup correctly in the wiki. The only thing it does not cover is getting your hands on the mysql includes and libraries which is what i was describing above.

When i said 3 versions of the download are available, I meant 3 versions of 5.0.41, one is 27mb and only include binarys, the other two are around 57mb and include source. These 3 versions of the download are available regardless of which version of the database you select. It is confusing use of the word version but that's what they call it on the site so.

Yeah i've checked and re-checked and rerechecked :P Followed the wiki to get to this point. Only thing i can think is the wiki is missing some paths or something.

Reading closer though your error list above, that is a link error rather than a compile error. This would suggest that the path to the includes and libraries are not pointing to the same version. When you download the package mentioned above make sure your include path and your library path in the compiler both point to the items from that download and that you remove any conflicting paths that you may have already configured.

Ok, the configuration changes I made to compile the emu were:

Include files:
c:\perl\lib\CORE
c:\dev\zlib123-dll\include
c:\dev\mysql\include

Library files:
c:\perl\lib\CORE
c:\dev\zlib123-dll\lib
c:\dev\mysql\lib\opt

Yeah just checked again, all good. Even tried being case sensitive.

Okay let me make sure i'm building it correctly. I go:

File-->Open-->Project/solution--> Open zone folder, open the figure 8-looking zone file.

Build-->Build Zone

and then it prints out the error...

I'm also getting a bunch of errors like this before that one while building if you can make any sense of it.

Also, it shows this in the error log thing:

Where is it getting c:\eqemu\lib? There is no lib folder in eqemu... I didn't set that path.

When I do the build, i would go into EQEmu-0.7.0-992 and open the server.sln file in there as the solution. It contains subprojects of emusharemem, world, and zone. This will build all 3 projects. There are dependencies between them.
