What are you using to compile?

"If people are good only because they fear punishment and hope for reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed." - Albert Einstein

visual C++ 6

Please, don''t double post, ok? It''s not going to get you more help, but less.

It''s one of two things : you have modified the project settings and the necessary libraries are missing from the linkage list, or you have modified your VC++ directory settings and it can''t find the libraries it need to link with.

I''ve compiled the Q2 source in VC++ 6 and VS.NET with zero modifications and no problems other than a few warnings.

How to find out which files were missing?

I just did a search by content and some of the searched for items appear to be in hard core libs like win32.. so I''ll be checking the libraries again.

this is where I''m at thanks for everyones help. I did not realise I had not posted a common issue. thanks.
