Problem linking with Snapple's fix

Luhhan · Post by **Luhhan** » Sun Dec 21, 2003 9:28 pm

I'm using the dec 10 mq2-latest.zip, copy-pasted snapple's changes to eqgame.h and eqdata.h respectively and tried to compile in VC++ 6.0 on a WinME box. Got the following error:

Code: Select all

--------------------Configuration: MQ2Main - Win32 Release--------------------
Linking...
LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file "../Release/MQ2Main.dll"
Error executing link.exe.

MQ2Main.dll - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)

The program worked before the patch that disabled the .zip version. Any hints how to fix it, or go about troubleshooting it? Obviously it's finding a problem with one or both of those header files, but I don't know what it is or how to fix it.

No, it's finding a problem with opening MQ2Main.dll. Usually that means the file is in use.

or you tried to batch compile without building the dll....

No, it was compiling mq2main.dll, and it couldnt open the file.

i just had this problem ... had MQ2 open .. then closed to recompile and got the error ... restart your computer ... it seems it doesnt tottaly close MQ2 when you click exit ...

if that doesnt work ..
save your macro folder , the new files you just updated from snapple and the ini ...

delete the macro quest folder

redownload it...

run MQauth.

copy back in the files , the ini ...and your macro folder ... and compile as normal ...

this second method worked for me since i screwed up something else lol.

Restart fixed the problem, you were right.

Compiles fine.

Doesn't work ingame.

Thanks for the help, I'll just wait till an updated .zip I suppose.

I discovered this last night as well while doing some testing/editing. Exit MQ2 and everthing was still running...plugins, macros, etc. I had to end the process tree via Task Mangler, and re-start MQ. Only problem is, I had to quit EQ and restart that each time, also, for it to reload. (essientially reboot)
