Any ideas how to resolve this?

This is compiling the build 16 source, Visual Studio C++ Express Edition 2005.

I'd be able to help if, for some reason, that all didn't show up as meddling japanese characters for me.

EDIT: It seems to be complaining a lot about deprecated functions. Make sure you have it set to use the C compiler not the C++ compiler, with warnings off and warnings not treated as errors.

EDIT2: I know there was a project to port quake 2 to the new C standard. Have you tried an older version of VC like vc6? Just an idea.

EDIT3: I see the problem now. You need to download and set up the platform SDK. VC2005 doesn't come with the windows libraries (just the standard C/C++ stdlib, no extras), they were packaged separately. You need to download the PSDK and do some VC config editing. Microsoft has a tutorial on it somewhere.

Can't believe I didn't see that earlier.

I have the Windows Server 2003 Platform SDK, and the include directories are set up. What else do I need to do?

[Deranged]

linker directories, and default libraries to be linked. That's what it's complaining about.

With that help on IRC fixing the problem, that's another one I owe you

What's with all the weird characters?  You have the asian pirated version or something?

Anyway, your problem is that you don't have all the necessary lib files set up to be linked in the project settings.  I don't know which ones are necessary for what, but you should be able to find out by searching around.

Yeah, Deranged fixed it :-)

I have no idea why the uploaded one is like that, it looks fine locally.

[Deranged]

Yeah he didn't set up the platform sdk linker options correctly, none of the windows library was being linked
