Extract it, and all you need is the dependancy's folder. (so you don't need to install mysql, zlib, etc etc etc in order to compile.)
If you're using visual studio (2005 or 200
, go to Tools -> Options
Click Show All Settings
Under Project and Solutions -> VC++ Directories
add a path to the Dependancys folder (ie c:\eqemu\source\Depandancys)
to the following:
Show Directories For -> Executable Files
Show Directories For -> Include Files
Show Directories For -> Reference Files
Show Directories For -> Library Files
Show Directories For -> Source Files
click OK and rebuild. all your cannot open <> errors should be taken care of.
If you get an error about Perl510.lib, you may need to download ActivePerl and install it, then copy Perl510.lib to the dependancys folder. (might be able to google and dl just that file too..)
