The Powder Toy

Maybe this will help me fix it.

    Someone who HAS successfully compiled it in Windows, take your whole TPT project folder (including all the VC++ project files) and put them in a zip file, then upload the zip file to some place like mediafire, and post the download link here. Then I'll download it, and try to compile it. If it compiles, then my error had been in my project's settings. If even that doesn't compile, then something is wrong with my global VC++ settings.

    Really? Then why doesn't his post say "this user was banned, click here to show his post"?

    As for PMing I don't think this site even has a PM system, though I may be wrong.

    They are called "Conversations", while they might be lacking some functionality they do work for short conversations (hence the name).

    I would suggest that you ask about the exact problem you are having, chances are that it is a linking error or some missing header.

    Already followed the tut in the wiki.
    Got the compiler
    http://www.microsoft.com/express/Downloads/#2010-Visual-CPP

    Got the TPT source code
    http://github.com/FacialTurd/The-Powder-Toy

    And got more dependencies the tut says it needs
    https://powdertoy.co.uk/Download/Source-Required.zip

    And I followed the wiki tutorial instructions EXACTLY (except for putting the stuff in the Libraries folder into the libs folder, but that shouldn't matter as I changed the VC++ project paths mentioned in the tutorial accordingly)

    So it SHOULD work.

    In other terms, YOU'RE MISSING regex.h!!!
    Go download it, derp!
    Google.
    Alright? It is a linking error. Anything that starts with LNK in an error is linking.
    And if you read YOUR OWN ERRORS, it would say "regex.h: file not found" or etc.
    Stop spamming about help. This is totally retarded that the dev-help forums are full of you. We only need one of you. Okay?

    i doubt regex is the problem, all the functions it is complaining about are in header files for the tpt source.

    He posted his errors in the other threads he made. The regex seems to be fixed in his most recent post, but yet:
    MSVCRTD.lib(cinitexe.obj) : warning LNK4098: defaultlib 'msvcrt.lib' conflicts with use of other libs; use /NODEFAULTLIB:library
    Is this lib even nessecary?
