I've CVSed Macroquest and then tried to compile using VC++ .Net and got this:
MacroQuest error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _main referenced in function _mainCRTStartup
Any ideas?

You have changed some options or you have a bad VS installation.

I was getting the same error using the files in the cvs. Use your old source files, but just get the eqgame.ini, MQ.h and EQLIB.cpp from the cvs and re-compile. It worked for me.

I just did a clean build from CVS -- no problem with VC7.0
1. Start with a new directory and pull down the CVS code.
2. Compile detours and move the library to macroquest/detours/lib
3. Open the solution file.
4. Press F7

I had the same thing when I first compiled. The project file for MQ that is in CVS is set up to tell the linkner this is a console app. This is wrong and to change this right click the macroquest heading when you have the project open and select properties. Select the linker tab and the system sub tab. Change the subsystem property from console to Windows.
Thanks

Looking at the CSV I see that EQLib.h was changed at the same time as EQLib.cpp to account for Memcheck3 wouldnt you need to also download the EQLib.h as well as files previously mentioned:
EQLIb.cpp
MQ.h and
eqgame.ini
So thats a total of 4 items needed from CVS, correct?
TIA

Why not get everything?
You're asking for trouble.

Grimjack - many thanks - I had this exact problem with a fresh CVS download. All fixed now !
