Jackson, you had it in the bag. I had already installed the req. packages, but I guess they were corrupted. I re-downloaded them and it compiled fine. Thanks muchly to all who helped!
Are the materials stored in the EXE file? Or in separate materials database? If separate database, how can I add or edit materials?
I VERY MUCH hope it IS in a database because I suck at compiling downloaded source code. I get the latest version of Visual C++ Express (MS's free version) and follow the "hello world" tutorial and it's great. But then I download a source code from Source Forge or something and try to compile and I get tons o' errors! VC++E seems to NOT LIKE pre existing source code!
