It's the stuff required to compile the source. Read the tutorial and you'll understand.
I have to say, Follow the tutorial and you will know.
What are you saying? If you followed the tutorial on the wiki it shouldn't be asking you anything like 'making any files'.
It's a different program for compiling the source. Right now your using visual studios c++, So don't worry about that.
Yeah I think the wiki tutorial does need a little redoing, But it's good enough to follow as it is right now.
put both folders in your source folder and merge the files if the folder is already there. Then link the folders.
Then it should say 'do you want to compile again', you should click yes. After compiling it will say 'missing dlls'.
You don't need to link the missing DLLs. Please read English.
Solution to what problem?
First get it to compile properly. Then learn how to code elements. The other tutorials are to help you to code.
Number 14, Extra. Please... Only ask questions if there's a problem. Just don't worry what parts of the compiling do, Just follow the tutorial and you'll be fine.
