so... I read the msg board posts on compiling etc, ran MQ2auth.exe, loaded up Visual Studio 6.0 Corporate Edition, under Win2k Professional
Followed all instructions on installation, and get this upon building MQ2mail.dll

Code: Select all

--------------------Configuration: MQ2Main - Win32 Release--------------------

MQ2Main.dll - 20 error(s), 0 warning(s)

... yeah, the folder Dxsdk81 writes to temp.. tried moving it to the macroquest folder, moved the dinput.h file to the include folder within and still no luck. Sorry if I missed some blatantly obvious point there, heh, but could I get a leetle bit of help?

So I made a back-up copy of MQ2main.h and tried editing to change the file path... it worked for that, but gave me another error on the path of a diff. include... changed that, and it spammed me with 150 some errors that were craziness, so I just restored and hope someone here has a fix.

The problem you're having is you didn't extract the zip in its original state. You need to unzip and include directory names. If you do so in the c:\macroquest directory you will end up with this sort of directory tree:

c:\macroquest\dx81sdk
c:\macroquest\mq2main
c:\macroquest\release
..and so on... unzip with correct directories and your problem is solved. you can't possibly follow the compile instructions to completion without the directory tree

Because this isn't a bug, moved the topic to the MQ2 Help forum.

Thx so much, Lax, and sorry for the incorrect forum.
