Compiling/Main.c problems

  • ACME     5th Oct 2010 Member 0 Permalink
    I'm Compiling From Visual Studio 2010 Professional. I've gone through the
    wiki over and over and over again, and yet, when I try to compile the source,
    it just comes up with all these errors. (Mainly in Main.c)

    Can someone please help me fix the following main.c problems?

    Theres a search funtion at the top of the page... USE IT AND IT MAY HELP YOU!

    You never know, it might point you to one of the hundreds of threads where people have had this problem and have been told to delete all files starting with ._

    Christ the n00bs on here are getting annoying.

    ACME
    You're using <source>\Libraries
    What you should be using is C:\Users\Nick\Desktop\powder-42.3-src\LINK\Libraries\
    or wherever your files are.
