Need some help with compiling

I am running on Win98, and have VC++ 6.0 installed. I've tried searching for some of these errors, but either I couldn't find a solution or I didn't understand what was being said. I've tried downloading both the .zip and CVS files. Also, I know extremely little about C/C++, so you'll need to dumb it down for me :)

When I go to build macroquest.exe, I get this error.

Code: Select all

Compiling resources...
C:\macroquest\eqlib\EQLib.rc(10) : fatal error RC1015: cannot open include file 'afxres.h'.
Error executing rc.exe.

macroquest.exe - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)

After doing a search on google for "error RC1015", I found this,

Code: Select all

Oddly enough, VC++ adds afxres.h to resource files even when you aren't using an MFC project, and yet the file may only be installed if you install MFC. This perticular file isn't actually required, so to fix the error you can edit the .rc file in notepad and replace both occurances of "afxres.h" with "winres.h" (note that there should be two of them, and you need to change both).

I edited the EQLib.rc file and changed both instances of 'afxres.h' to winres.h'. After that, I went back to build and got this,

Code: Select all

After this, I start to really get stuck. I've tried doing a search for error C1083, but I haven't been able to make much sense of it. Please help me finding out what I'm doing wrong or tell me if I missed a post about this earlier. Thank you.

hmm, try pasting the line that causes the error please, like for "EQLib_MacroParser.cpp(26)" goto EQLib_MacroParser.cpp and then goto line 26 and paste the code. I think it's probably that your compiler doesn't know to automatically look in the include directory. post the errors and I'll try and help more.

Ok, I feel dumb now. I was able to get the compile and now have macroquest working. I reinstalled VC++ and previously I only installed VC++ Developer Studio, and Build Tools, but I failed to install the Runtime Libraries. This time I installed everything, and that's why it couldn't find the files. Thank you for your reply though.
