Win 7 - Visual C++ 2010 Express help needed

[tekno]

Sorry guys,

I use to use XP and Visual C++ 6.0 ( plus all the upgrades ) but have switched over to Windows 7 and Visual C++ 2010 Express. Now I needed help.

I downloaded the latest MQ2 and have read both the "Wiki Compile" (http://www.macroquest2.com/wiki/index.p ... :Compiling) as well as the "The Complete Idiots Guide to MQ2 and plugins" ( viewtopic.php?t=6310 )


Now on my first build with Visual C++ 2010 Express and I get the error below - Im sure it a setting problem but I dont know enough of VC++ 2010 to find it. Besides the 7>LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'MQ2Main.lib' error I havent found out how to get it to selected the projects

Build mq2main ***BEFORE*** mq2telnet.

dont_know_at_all - I right clicked EQmain in the Solution Explorer and set EQmain at the top of the build order with no real luck

[tekno]

ok Im a goof - I just noticed that I didnt post this question in the VIP help area - anyway it can be moved.

[pms]

Compile the Source

thanks man - I saw what I had missed.

I also upgraded my os to win7 and Visual C++2010. My problems stemmed from the fact I couldnt do a build batch. Little did I know the settings were not all properly set. Make sure to check the tab;

Tools -> Settings -> check Expert Settings

once that was changed I finally got my Build tab.
