Compiling On VS2K5

[link2009]

Excuse me for double posting, but am I the only one with this problem?

I think the combo of Windows Vista and VS2005 Pro makes anyone leary of just guessing what might be going on. Pretty sure most devs here use some sort of Linux and gcc, and I doubt anyone is doing much with Vista. Afterall, there's no SP1. Who would load it already?


(btw, I am running Vista atm - pretttty)

redownload zlib and replace the old folder with this one..

you have the wrong zlib files.

Anyone know what happened to the VS2005 Pro Tutorial? I can't find it anymore :(

Sorry to necro this, but does anyone have a copy of Thristam's VS2005 setup guide handy? The page linked in the Wiki is gone.

I think the Express guide might still get things done (with interpolation between version settings):

but I am still having some issues I'd love to blame on setup. kthx.

Well, I have VS8 installed atm. I am sure that I could make a attempt to compile the source and see what happens. If I run into errors though, im just SoL. If it works right, I could probably grab some screenies and guide it up.

My question for anyone though is this. Is there a free alternative that can compile simplistcly like VS. Not somthing that requires commands at everyturn, but a GUI style program that you can just push compile and let it go.

The reason I ask is that VS is expensive, and to ask someone to buy this is rediculous give what there compiling with it. Would be cheaper to just pay the monthly fee and join LIVE. Antrix request you use VS7 and they support that, but someone going to a private server is not going to shell out hundreds if not thousands to just compile the damn server to play.
