How to recompile

[Zandig]

The guide is for Express Edition.

I haven't tried the full version so I can't comment on that.

You do not have to rename any zlib file using Express Edition.

well I renamed everything in C:\zlib\lib to be zlib instead of zdll, but I still failed 6 builds. When I look at it it still says stuff like fatal error: cannot open zlib.li. I have C:\zlib\lib and C:\zlib\include both in my directories thing too

To clarify blackgragonsdg's instructions, the lib folder must be in your "Library files" list, and the include folder must be in your "Include files" list. Make sure it's set this way.

ok so can anyone just give an actual list of the things u need to add into the directories and what part? It's kinda hard trying to balance between what you all say and what the guide says

According to the guide, we are following the instructions, specifically this part:

5) Update your Microsoft Visual C+(+) 2008 Express Edition directories:
'Tools/Options/Projects and Solutions/VC+(+) directories'
and add the following directories using the dropdown "Show directories for" box:

* Include files: C:\mysql\include
* Include files: C:\perl\lib\CORE
* Include files: C:\zlib\include
* Library files: C:\mysql\lib\opt
* Library files: C:\perl\lib\CORE
* Library files: C:\zlib\lib


use the "New Line (Ctrl-Insert)" to add the above directories in the appropriate section.

ok just a question, someone said that now if you want to use custom spells u have to use the import spells.pl to have them take effect, but how do I use that pl? I have my spells_us and I see the .pl, but I don't have any clue what to do
