Hi

When compiling my edited version of some hl dll, I get an error saying that it cannot find the specified file. It includes a link to the file in the error, which works fine.

Heres an example of one of the errors (every entry in the compile log has the same one, almost)
d:half-life sdksdksource codecl_dllsaytext.cpp(22) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'cl_util.h': No such file or directory
status_icons.cpp
Of course, I am able to load the offending files fine without errors. I tried setting everything in the sdk to not-read only, but still get the same error.

Im using Microsoft Visual C++ Express Edition 2005 (v8)

Hmm, I'm not sure but are you spelling it correctly?

Are you opening hl.dsw, provided in the source package?

Also, iirc MSVC++ 2005 needs to be configured to compile the HL code. I use MSVC++ 6, which is what Valve used.

Where can I get msvc++ 6?

Definitely not BitTorrent.

Anyone know where I can buy it legally? :). I don't want to have to resort to pirate copies or anything like that.

Or if I can't get version six, does anyone have any info on getting it to work on my copy of C++ 2005?

There's no online reg for 6.0, so it's not like your going to be v& for it. No way MS can track who's using what copy.
