Hi,

Please dont flame me on asking newbie questions, i have really searched to the best of my capacity and not find my answer in any forum here.

i want to compile macroquest myself, so i downloaded IRC-latest from main page link. I have read the source readme and downloaded and installed te packages for perl and detours as said in it. after that when i
dbl click on the solution file in the folder (i hope thats the way to do it) the solution opens up in VS.NET .... build brings up the following 2 errors tho .. any help in this regard wud be REALLY appreciated.

EQLib fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file '..\PerlCore\lib\Perl56.lib'

MacroQuest fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file '\Documents and Settings\fahd\Desktop\IRC-20021116\Release\EQLib.lib'

altho i think the 2nd error is rooted from the first one .... im not really that good at visual dev tools and totally new to VS.NET ... please be kind and help me out here.

ill be really happy if i can make this work.

look for Perl56.lib, it should be in the Perl installation folder for perl somewhere... like in lib\core\. when you find it, copy it into your_MQ_folder\PerlCore\lib and try to compile again.

Change the reference to the LIB from '..\PerlCore\lib\Perl56.lib'
to '..\PerlCore\lib\core\Perl56.lib'
