If you cant spend the $89 dollars to get VS7, cant upgrade past Windows 95, cant figure out how to pirate the damn thing, I dont think you should be compiling anything.

Gotta agree with ya there driftinsupra. A first post like this always makes coming to these boards quite enjoyable. Now if I can find the time to do this I'll be a happy camper once again playing Eq with MQ

I get to step six and then I'm stuck.

My command prompt won't recognize nmake as a command.

Error message:
'nmake' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program, or batch file

Any suggestions?

You've not setup the environment when installing VC++6. Reinstall it and make sure you do that this time. During install it prompts you to setup the environment (talking about a batch file etc) and you just tell it to do that.

God, my computer locks up everytime I try to uninstall...

Curse you everquest! Curse your addictiveness and curse you for creating the bard class and causing my wrists such grief!

Oh...seems to be uninstalling now...thanks for the help. =)

Would using XP cause problems?

I compiled on Win2K so I wouldn't know, I can't see it being a problem though.[/u]

You need to set up your environment, from a command prompt window run vcvars32.bat

it should be in your "microsoft visual studio/vc98/bin" directory

nmake should work after that.
