H Guys,

back again trying to compile the latest version and running in a weird problem, every time I 'build' the solution, each project fails once, but it gives no error message

I followed all the instructions in complie.txt and installed all the latest versions of STLPort, WTL, HTML Help Workshop, .Net SDK and .Net framework 1.1. The only thing that is not installed is Python, but I don't think I need it, do I?

Any one have any ideas on what could be causing this?

First of all, you're trying to compile a mod, not DC++. Second of all, yes you do need python.

OK, I installed Python and attempted to recompile (I Did, "Build" -> "Clean Solution", then "Build" -> "Build Solution", am I doing something wrong here?) It still comes up with the same error. I ran the ./help/compile.bat to compile the help file and that worked fine.

I can post the other build logs for the other projects (lua-5.0.2, zlib, bzip2, client, DCPlusPlus and help) if people want them? They all fail with 1 error (with no output). Any one have any ideas?

Oh ya, I am using Microsoft Visual C++ .NET (2003) in case I didn't mention it earlier.

Can you compile any c++ program at all?

Thats a very good question. Just tried a new simple "in32 application and it failed also (also without explaining why).

I had to reinstall Visual studio because I had to reinstall Windows and I installed it again on top of its old location (on my D: drive). Any ideas for reinstalling? Should I uninstall, delete the folder and then try again?

First, try to compile DC++. BCDC isn't any different, but this is the DC++ forum, and BCDC is a strictly-support less mod. We've set it up that way on purpose.

Second, Visual Studio has a repair install - go to Add/Remove programs, and click the only button for your Visual Studio install. One of the choices is to Install/Remove/Repair components. Do that.
