    Anyone else suffering problems?

    Downloaded and installed Visual C++ 2005 Beta with the .NET 2 Beta framework from Microsoft. (This was the recommended version to use, and all I could find...).

    I setup the developer environment as specified in the setup instructions and set the build configuration to Release SDK.

    On compilation I get...
    ------ Build started: Project: client, Configuration: Release SDK Win32 ------
Compiling...
cl : Command line warning D9035 : option 'Og' has been deprecated and will be removed in a future release

    What exactly are you trying to do? Compile code?

    Aye, build the initial code into at least working dlls, so I have a point from which to start.
    No point going on with coding if the supplied code doesn't compile right... Any ideas?

    Your talking to the wrong person here mate :(

    I'll see if my programming friend can make heads or tails of it :)

    you have two return statements that return the wrong data-type; your trying to return a value which is of the data type "const char *", whereas the function requires a "char *" return value.

    Change the datatype, or at least show us the code, not the error message. cant do much with an error message.

    edit: this is a VC++ problem, and should probably me moved to that forum (programming).

    The recommended version to use is VS 7.1 , ie C++ .Net 2003.

    It builds without issues. Unfortunately only parts of 2003 are free, including the compiler, excluding the IDE. (http://msdn.microsoft.com/visualc/vctoolkit2003/)

    You should be able to get the 2005 IDE to work with the 2003 compiler (Tools / Options /Projects /VC++ Directories), but that's a guess, it might be restricted. Otherwise you can use another ide or the command line to do the build stage, copying the project build commands from those included in the solution file.
