VC++ 2005 Express Compiling Problem

[Rocketcat]

Hi,

With the latest update of the Source SDK, I thought I'd give it a try in VC++ 2005 Express. Starting with a fresh install of everything, I went and made some of the changes to environment settings found elsewhere and tried compiling a fresh HL2:MP mod. The server dll compiled with a couple minor warnings, but the client dll is giving me an error/30 warnings.

If anyone's interested, here's the list of warnings/errors:

Basically, the warnings seem to be about redundant definitions, and the error is it can't load libc.lib. Now, everything I've read says that you need to have LIBCMT and LIBC in the Linker->Input->Ignore Specific Library and then it should be ignoring those. However I do have those included in the ignore list, but it seems like it's still trying to use them anyway. Everything should be set up correctly, and as a result I'm not sure what to do.

If anyone has any suggestions on how to resolve this, I'd really appreciate it. I really want to get down to the actual coding, but that's a bit hard if I can't even get it to compile the first time.

With 2005 Express you need to have downloaded and installed both the Microsoft DirectX SDK and the Microsoft Platform SDK.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/directx/sdk/
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...35-C656-4969-ACE8-E4C0C0716ADB&displaylang=en

When installing the Platform SDK, go here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualc/usingpsdk/default.aspx and follow steps 3 and 4; they are important!

Also do step 3 again but point to the DirectX SDK directories instead of the platform ones.


After all that you should be good to go... I still get a few warnings when I compile but both the Debug and Release binaries work fine.
