Missing build files.

[Noport]

did you grab zlib and copy zlib1.dll c:\windows\system32 just asking? I had no problems with Chatserver.exe, eqlaunch.exe, World.exe, Zone.exe i used perl 5.10
click on filename server.sln #9 open up Vs2008 right click the mouse on soultions go down to properties then go down to configuration make sure they all say release then build that is what Secrets was asking if you have done this.

I personally don't copy the zlib1.dll to \win\sys\, instead I add ";C:\zlib" to the window's environment variable 'Path.'

I also create two additional variables: EQEMU_Inc & EQEmu_Lib

EQEmu_Inc = "C:\mysql\include;C:\perl\lib\CORE;C:\zlib\include "
EQEmu_Lib = "C:\mysql\lib\opt;C:\perl\lib\CORE;C:\zlib\lib "

Then, just add $EQEmu_xxx to the appropriate Include and Library references.


This makes it a little easier when a change is needed as well as not having to update the VS9 IDE Reference Settings and VS10 Project Settings whenever a change occurs..just update the environmental variables.

Since the zlib references are now included in SVN Trunk, I'm not sure if it's runtime is even needed any longer..though the references would should point to the correct trunk directory.

Yeah zlib.dll was copied to my sys file.

Compiled via release low and behold, I have the files.

Someone should have thought of this a long time ago, this needs committed to the SVN!
