If you are using Visual Studio 6.0 to build, you must go to the C/C++ tab and change the struct byte allignment from 8 to 1.

Or, use the makefile.

Hmmm... ya know, that might explain why certain structs don't work right for me... or for anyone else using the MCK builds

I dont quite follow your instructions from start to finish -Dont- could you elaborate on your process step by step from CVS to EXE I'd appreciate it.

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.

Thank you _dont_ but that keeps getting me in the same possition I've been in with the end result lagging me off and I see you've been able to fix it but thats in Visual. As for the numerous posts I'm sorry about that but I dont see you rushing to my aid. I dont need my hand held I just needed to get around the problem in code and am not at the level to do that on my own. So if you have a way around that for me I'm open to suggestions.

makefile(5) : fatal error U1035 : syntax error : expected ':' or '=' separator. Stop.

This file need to be rewritten with CR/LFs for nmake v6 to read it?

This is a variation of the text mode/bin mode problem.

DOS files require CR/LF at EOL
UNIX files require just CR.

If your cvs tool thinks you are getting unix source and putting it on a windows box, it will change the existing CR/LF to CR/LF/LF. You must configure it not to do that.

For cygwin, that means making sure that your drives are not mounted in text mode. For other cvs incantations, there should be a configuration setting.

For WinCVS, when checking out a module you will get a Checkout Settings window/box thingy. Go to the Globals tab and check the box for "Checkout text files with the UNIX LF". This will eliminate the extra line feeds and make the source code download correctly.

I've been getting lots of errors, I've got the DX9 SDK installed ATM, do I need to go backwards to get this to work? Got 8.1SDK downloading now...

/cry
I installed XP long ago with a midget backup drive plugged in, it was named C:\ so my boot volume is F:\.... no problem... never had one 'till I installed the DX8 SDK... it says "invalid c:\"... or whatever... so I goto change the drive letter, "Windows Cannot modify the driver letter of the boot volume." IMHO MS had issues... DX9 installed fine... atleast they fixed it... kinda.

i get this error on step 6:

Creating library \eqlib.lib and object \eqlib.exp

Any ideas?

When you compile detours from the makefile you actually get three files, detours.h, detours.lib, and detours.pdb. The PDB file is for debugging, and isn't strictly necessary. You can safely ignore those warnings, MQ will still work.
