Look for a file readme.htm in your Release directory.
Read that.
All of it.

No, if you can't find how to compile it, you didn't read all of readme.htm

Go back and read readme.htm
ALL OF IT THIS TIME.

Well maybe not smarter but it does show a higher capacity for learning. Why so much hate for noobs? Why do noobs ask the same thing over and over when the answer is already there?

No, it shows nothing other than you are better at cheating at EQ than other ppl. Get over yourself fuckhead...its not a race or a sparring match. Theres no competetion here, and only pencil dick 15 year olds try and make a fight where there is none.

So in short, if you dont like whats posted, no one is forcing you to reply. So stfu thx.

No, the simple point is that ALL of the information here is easily available to anyone who spends ANY time looking for it.

Those that don't take the effort to learn for themselves, or make an effort and just are having a hard time come here and post. It's generally answered with a few nice tells, like such:
Look for a file readme.htm in your Release directory.
Read that.
All of it.
Perfectly accepable, explains to him that the answers he seeks are easily available to him in the zip file.

It's when people ask the same questions over and over that are answered in the documentation that makes them stupid. No one here "owes" you anything, if you aren't willing to at least take a cursory glance at what's been provided few are going to be willing to walk you through it step by step.
*QUACK*

Actually, yeah, I do. I read the directions, accidentally missed a step, it didn't work, I looked back through to see what I missed, did it over again the right way, and the stuff worked.

It's confusing at first, and it's not easy. It's not meant to be easy. You have to put forth a little bit of effort reading. It's referred to as "You must be this tall to ride."

There is no excuse for ignoring a readme.

Let me say it again.

THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR IGNORING A README.

I have no problem with helping people who put forth a little effort on their own. A "Hey, I looked through the documentation, but I guess I missed something. Can anyone help?" will get a better response from me than a "I do not know what I am doing somebody help me please," and I bet the same is true for a lot of people that regularly post here.

Don't ask a question they've heard a thousand times, and they'll probably be patient with you and give you a decent answer.
