Right first off I have done the following.
As stated I went to
http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/pla ... sdkupdate/
and downloaded and installed the core sdk .
Im running winxp so chose winxp 32bit debug as the environment .
changed the dir to z:\unreal\unreal3.2 where I downloaded the unreal.tar .
(question is here :is that the source code or am I thick?)
Type nmake -f makefile.win32
and get the error saying file nmake blah blah is not found
(The only way to do it is to use xp 54bit build environ)
With that I get this error
/out :config.exe
config.obj
acess denied
accompanied by a win error box config.exe is not a valid win32 ....
It then starts to compile and spews out files it has done until it gets to
win32gui.c
formal parameter 1 different from declaration
nmake :fatal error u1077 : 'cl' : return code '0x2'
so any ideas?

Its the psdk downloaded from the microsoft addy . Dated Feb 2003 .
nmake does not appear to be included in any environment other than XP 64bit .

Not what version of the platform SDK, the SDK is a bunch of libraries, header files, and documentation. I'm asking what version of Microsoft Visual C++ do you have? If all you downloaded was the Platform SDK, that's not a compiler, that's just libraries to along with the compiler. You need to get MSVC++. You can download a free copy of Visual C++ 7.1 (.NET 2003) from
http://msdn.microsoft.com/visualc/vctoolkit2003/
Note that is the compiler *only* it does not include the IDE, just the necessary files to build a C++ program.

Ok I have downloaded the toolkit as well and It does not have nmake in it . I have managed to download nmake v1.5 from microsoft and dropped that into the toolkit dir . so far so good . It now throws up a link : fatal error LNK1104 : cannot open file 'LIBCMTD.lib'
NMAKE : fatal erroe U1077: 'c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe' : return code '0x450' Stop.
Am I just better trying to get hold of Visual Studio ?

In order to use CL and LINK properly, you need to set two environment variables, INCLUDE and LIB. If you know how to set PATH these variables are the very similar. INCLUDE is like PATH but used for #include directives. It should include your INCLUDE folder in your VC installation. LIB is used by LINK to locate standard libraries like winbase.lib and libcmt.lib. It too is like PATH.

Probably
. I got Visual Studio .NET 2003 from eBay for just over 100 bucks

Getting visual studio isn't going to help you much at all. If you want to learn how to program, then yes, get it. If your goal is to compile Unreal and never touch it again, don't waste your money. You're going to wind up having to do the same stuff with VS.NET anyway. You still need environment variables set, and you still compile from the command line.
Also, I just downloaded that toolkit the other day, it had nmake.exe.

VS.NET includes a batch file to set the variables for you (vcvars32.bat). Of course, you'll probably want to copy the resultant variables to your profile so you don't have to run it every time you open a command prompt
.

VS.NET doesn't use that file. That's for legacy support for a dual VS.NET VS6 environment. You should not use it. You should instead use one of the environment command prompts, the same ones that the free downloads give you.

It's also good if you find yourself in a normal command prompt, and all of the sudden you need to NMAKE something in a hurry.

I installed the Core SDK, and Visual C++ Toolkit 2003, and am unable to run nmake. Searching for *nmake* finds only "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDK\Bin\Win64\nmake.exe" (this is for Windows 64-bit, right?)..
Code: Select all
C:\dev\Unreal3.2>nmake -f makefile.win32

k. According to all I found out from Googling, the Toolkit DOES NOT include nmake.. so, I guess I'm screwed.. ;_;
