I just downloaded the sourcecode and other packeges from DC++ site, namely:

DCPlusPlus-STLPort-4.6.2.zip and
DCPlusPlus-wtl7.1-src.zip

I have Microsoft Visual C++ v6.0

Now, as I am totally new to this sort of programming (visual C++), I dont know actually how to begin. I extracted the files... but when I open the .rc file, it says some H file is missing.

Please explain me what is happening. Please tell me step by step what should I do that even the downloaded program source-code gets compiled and starts running. :(

There's a compile.txt included with the source. From your post, it seems like you haven't seen or read this file.

last i checked you needed visual studio .net 2003 (2002 might work still) to compile it, so you're out of luck with 6.0.

well, hopefully this'll be enough of a start:

Also, what twink said. .NET 2002 can be used if you edit the project files manually (changing the version numbers). The project files for VS6 aren't included anymore, and compilation under it is not tested. DC++ may now use some template features that VC6 had poor/non-existent support for.
