Enable Bot source for compiling

[Congdar]

Here's some links for getting the linux compile to work:

For Windows in Visual Studio go to Configuration Manager and change the 'Active solution configuration:' drop-down to DebugBots or ReleaseBots.
Configuration Manager can be found in the Build menu.

Would this be something that could work well as a rule?

[Congdar]

no, rules are for runtime options and bots are a compile time option.

I am not sure it is as easy as you say, Congdar I am still searching around, but Release compiles fine - soon as I do ReleaseBots (VS2005) Zone linking fails:

1>Linking...
1>npc.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: void __thiscall Mob::PET_Process(void)" (?PET_Process@Mob@@QAEXXZ) referenced in function "public: virtual bool __thiscall NPC::Process(void)" (?Process@NPC@@UAE_NXZ)
1>.\../Build/Zone.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals

This was after cleaning and rebuilding the entire project. 4 of 5 succeeded. I am never too sure what these linker errors really mean. Any hints?

The source has been updated to vs2008, i don't think vs2005 works anymore. I did find a problem with releasebots though. For some reason the bot pet classes cannot buff thier pets. So I stick with debugbots.

Err, that's kind of a generalization to think everyone in the world updates to 2008 just because you have, hah. Don't you think supporting multiple SLNs would be more appropriate? I don't need VS2008 for my work (yet) so I hadn't planned on filling my drive with yet another version of something...

That aside, everything else seems to compile using the 7.1 sln, just this one linker error is all I am getting.
