MacroQuest64

[[MacroQuest2:Compiling]]

Has been updated with the steps I have taken to allow VC2008 to compile MQ2.

* For Visual C++ 2008 Express, Navigate to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\VCWizards\AppWiz\Generic\Application\html\1033\ and edit AppSettings.htm, commenting out lines 357-359 like this:

// WIN_APP.disabled = true;
// DLL_APP.disabled = true;
// LIB_APP.disabled = true;

VS 2008 worked for me without any mods.

I didn't try... figured it would be crippled like the VS2005

So is it still possible to use VC 2008?

I have compiled macroquest succesfully about 3 times using this, however when i tried to compile MQ a few days ago after not having used MQ for a few weeks now i got some dodgy error that i have no idea how to work around

Any suggestions, flames, rants ?

Carlos would say the nagual just needs to see the answer.

ok

I used my "seeing" and discovered what the problem was :)

Basically all my sdk files were screwed up somehow

I am having allot of trouble trying to figure out how to update my SDK files...

I have been all over trying to figure out what to install but just cant...

I get this same error, about windows.h and if anyone could help make me see (yes i found the link on the wiki becuse of that hint) what the problem is that would be so great.

I just cant seem to figure out whats going on, nearly everything I've tried has been a guess.

Well, I updated them via this from the build Wiki:

Download SDK files and install them:
If you are using XP or Vista 32-bit, download the Microsoft Platform SDK from here.
If you are using Vista 64-bit download the Windows SDK here.


But i still get that error.. I'm Running windows XP service pack 2... not sure if that helps you get an idea where my problem may lay as I said am guessing any time I attempt to fix the problem.[/i]
