You need to download the MSVS SDK in order to compile it. The SDK is avilable from Microsoft's website.

Code: Select all

== "old" VC++ 6.0 ==
1. You need the Platform SDK (PSDK)
   Grab it at: http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/platformsdk/sdkupdate/ ->
   core sdk -> install this sdk.
   Note that this can take some time to download because it's >200Mb
   (450mb installed) [!].
2. To compile:
   start -> programs -> platform sdk blabla -> open build env. -> (choose os) ->
   set blabla build env (debug). This will launch a DOS window.
3. Go to your UnrealIrcd dir (like: cd \dev\unreal3.2) and then compile with:
   nmake -f makefile.win32
   This will generate a wircd.exe and unreal.exe
4. Copy the src\win32\tre.dll to your UnrealIrcd main dir.
5. Done!

Also note that compiling with MSVS 6 is not recommended due to bugs and things.
