Getting hl2 to compile Created 15 years ago2009-03-06 18:28:53 UTC by =NH= Yodalman

Well, I'm sure at least some of you have heard about my new mod "interest mod", i just randomly decided to use the source engine for it, however, i can't get the damned thing to compile, first i was using 2008, so i moved to visual c++ 2005 express edition, i open up the "Game_HL2-2005.sln" it should work, i run compile, and get this.

The MSDN link works for me. Try refreshing Your other error is also fixed by installing the platform SDK, Google is your friend.

Now i am getting a linking error, ARRRGH

...Why does coding hate me so much?

Make sure you've done this:

Finally, in the Solution Explorer right click 'client_hl2', and select Properties, then:
In the client_hl2 properties window, navigate to Linker -> Input
Select the 'Additional Dependencies' box. Then click the '...' on the right hand side of the box
If there is already an entry here, take a new line after it (a space will suffice if you cannot create a new line), and type 'user32.lib', and without the quotes. Vista users may have to input "user32.lib" and "kernel32.lib" within the double quotes.
Repeat these steps for 'server_hl2'

W00t, plenty thanks man
