Compiling with VC6.0 -- read this!

[XXSTEVEXX]

in the 11 step how to make MQ work that Dont_know_at _all wrote he mentions "cd" what abbreviation is that for, i did compile the detour file WooT !! but i was stoped at the "CD macroquest/lib" i dont know exactly what that means

[ap50]

CD or the lesser used CHDIR is the command for Change Directory

noob question inc, does this work with make?

been trying but i get

Code: Select all

makefile:20: *** missing separator.  Stop.

[dont_know_at_all]

it does not work with make -- only nmake.

1. if using VC60, get dxsdk (or dinput.h from DX8.1 or greater)
2. cvs co macroquest
3. if using VC60, get and compile detours. put detours.lib in macroquest\detours\lib
4. cd macroquest\eqlib
5. if using VC60, modify the makefile line 1 to point to the 8.1 dinput.h
6. nmake
7. cd ..
8. nmake
9. cd Release
10. macroquest.exe
11. earn ph47 l00ts.

This is no longer pertinent correct? The .zip files included the dinput.h when I downloaded them. All I did was build eqlib.dll and macroquest.exe.

[dont_know_at_all]

you can now skip steps 1, 3, and 5.

This is what I get when trying to Build Macroquest.exe. I have not had any problems before compiling and I'm using the latest CVS from the homepage.

macroquest.exe - 2 error(s), 0 warning(s)

Any ideas what the problem is?

Thanks,

VS6.0: eqlib.dsp is out of date
VS7.0: eqlib.vcproj is out of date.

By a month in either case.

feeling like a noob, getting these errors:

I've only added some stuff to my EQLib_macroparser.cpp file and EQLib_Custom.cpp file. the changes worked 3 days ago.
Anyone know what's wrong?

EDIT: there was a recent update to the custom.cpp file. fixed now, but make sure your EQLib_Custom.cpp file is up to date for future reference.

Ok, I know that C++ is a programing language (No shit sherlock), and I know that I need Visual C++ (the compiler?)... Is Visual C++ Free? I can't seem to find a download for it, and it suggests I buy it. Buying it isn't a problem, but is there a free download?

[Kaicklu]

Double posting is teh lose

[Mckorr]

No, there is no free version of Visual C++. It's a Microsoft product, and Bill doesn't give anything away :)

[operat0r]

install .NET and winrar and your set :)

When I tried to complile I keep getting errors in reference to the same file and I followed the steps.

C:\MQ\MQ2Main\MQ2Main.h(513) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'MQ2Auth0.h': No such file or directory
MQ2Auth.cpp


Any ideas?

Crash and burn.
