I am also getting the exact same error message when compiling MQ2Main.dll (only differing because of the path).
Linking...
Creating library ../Release/MQ2Main.lib and object ../Release/MQ2Main.exp
detours.lib(disasm.obj) : warning LNK4099: PDB "detours.pdb" was not found with "..\Detours\lib60\detours.lib" or at "C:\Games\MQ2\NewDownload\compile\Release\detours.pdb"; linking object as if no debug info
detours.lib(detours.obj) : warning LNK4099: PDB "detours.pdb" was not found with "..\Detours\lib60\detours.lib" or at "C:\Games\MQ2\NewDownload\compile\Release\detours.pdb"; linking object as if no debug info
I am using MS Visual C++, and have installed the service pack. Error occurs the same before and after the installation of the service pack, so that wasn't it.
I have re-downloaded the zip file about 10 diffrent times, and all compile attempts on MQ2Main.dll have resulted in the same error. Each recompile attempt was done on fresh extracted copys of the source files (ie I deleted the contents of the folder, before reextracting the files again.)
Also, I am not importing extra plugin's or any extra macros for the inital compile attempt. All files used in the compile attempts are stright from the .zip file, without adding anything extra.
I have read and re-read TFM several times to ensure I was not doing something totaly stupid. All steps preformed so far are the exact same as I have been doing thus far, and have never had too many problems before.
A little bit of extra info on where I am placing the files:
Download and save zip file to c:\games\MQ2\Download.
Delete the previous contents of c:\games\MQ2\Download\compile.
Extract files to c:\games\MQ2\Download\compile
After compile normaly finishes successful, I rename the release folder in c:\games\mq2\release and apend a date, for archiving.
Then I copy the c:\games\MQ2\Download\compile\release folder to c:\games\MQ2, and copy back in all my modified and custom macros from the previous verison.
And before the question can be asked, I have already deleted the previous versions compiled files, that were not in the \release folder.
Same steps I have been using for quite a while, and I generaly never have any troubles. I double checked the zip file, and all files appear to be in place. From the error, and checking the files, I am assuming that detours.pdb is info contained within detours.lib, and not a file that is missing. (Or I would have seen more posts on missing files in the forums. Thats the "i've read the fourms and searched" disclaimer :) )
I even tried, for S&G's, doing a fresh extract of all files, and copying the previous versions release folder back into the \compile folder. Didn't help, but I really didn't expect it to.
Seeing that I have found very few posts simmilar to my error, I assume this issue is something specific to my set up, or am just in the very few minorty of people having this problem.
Is detours.pdb a file that is suppose to be in the zip file, or is something else going on?
Thank you in advance for any help.
