You are trying to compile a file called '..\..\..\src\heightmap.cpp' but it doesn't exist. The rest are just warnings about deprecated functions. You should deal with that, but they won't prevent you from compiling.

If you look carefully, you actually have only one error, the other are only warnings. They may be annoying but they won't make your compilation fail. The only error you get is :

c1xx : fatal error C1083: Cannot open source file: '..\..\..\src\heightmap.cpp': No such file or directory

You shoudl double-check the file path. Also, Usually you should never include .cpp files in another file but alway include the header (.h) files.

As for your post, you should :
1- Choose a more descriptive title and not use caps lock and exclamation marks like you did. You could have named it "Compilation errors on NeHe sdk".
2- use the [ source ] tags when citing large amount of code / compilation errors.

my bad, i'll keep those tips in mind next time.

as for the heightmap.cpp, is that file suppose to be in the NeHe SDK?

Well, seems as if you found a bug in the NeHe SDK...
You're right, heightmap.cpp should be included, the VC Project requires it, but it's not present.
I just sent a PM to the author of the SDK..

Hi - I'm the author of the SDK. Some distributions of it still contain a link to the non-supplied heightmap.cpp. Sorry about that. The easiest thing to do is to go the "heightmap.cpp" link in Visual Studio, and remove it - I think it's in the right-click menu of the file browser.

The rest of the warnings are just VS 2005 not liking older code. You can safely ignore them. If you need any more help, please PM me.

btw - did you download it from the nehe page recently? I thought that version was fixed [sad]

yea, i got it from the NeHe site (http://nehe.gamedev.net/stats.asp)

it was the top 10 downloads page
