Trying a win32 Compile - Fails with nmake

Decided to try and piss around with selfcompiling Unreal 3.2.4, it looks like its going good and all for awhile, until it gets to:
Code: Select all
src/support.c(2404) : error C2065: 'WSASYSCALLFAILURE' : undeclared identifier
src/support.c(2404) : error C2099: initializer is not a constant
src/support.c(2404) : warning C4047: 'initializing' : 'int ' differs in levels of indirection from 'unsigned char [20]'
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'cl' : return code '0x2'
Stop.
I searched the forums, only found one thread which actually had this specific error of sorts atleast, but wasn't really clearly answered, and a google search also brought up nothing helpful.
Given i'm not an expert on compiling, I DO have a general knowledge of it, and I'm far from a basic computer user, I catch on rather quick with new things and decided to just take a shot at this myself (mostly because i'm also interested in recompiling a few modules to properly work on 3.2.4 also.
So any tips?
I do feel the need to note that I have Visual C++ 6.0 (Basically where the nmake came from), while it says it still might possibly work given all the extra stuff you need (Service packs and crap) which I have, is it possible this is something related to that?

You know, I was actually just gonna post and say I got that, but I re-read the damned PSDK page on the microsoft page, and apparently the one I just downloaded from them is no longer supported with Visual C++ 6
Dun suppose anyone has the link to the previous build where I could get this?
Only way microsoft will give it to me is if I order it on a CD -_o
Until then I'll continue google searching to see if I can find it.

Okay, got the PSDK, got past the original error I was getting, now I have:
Code: Select all
Creating library wircd.lib and object wircd.exp
ARESLIB.LIB(windows_port.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __alld
vrm
WIRCD.EXE : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'link' : return code '0x460'
Stop.

The "unresolved external symbol" is in the FAQ.

Basically what it CURRENTLY comes down to is.. you need MSVC 7.0 or MSVC 7.1, all the other versions seem to cause trouble.
Details:
MSVC6 no longer compiles
MSVC8 (visual studio 2005 / the latest free kit) causes crashes, including an incorrect backtrace making it hard to solve.
Of course, the objective, is to get MSVC8 to work again, but how long that will take: I don't know.

Wouldn't using MSVC 7.0, make Unreal need the .net runtime files?

No. If anything you'd only need .NET for the compiler itself, and not necessarily even that.

So, MSVC7 is C#?
I can't find a "MSVC7" compiler.

...No.
VC7 is C (or C++).

Probably using some old dll from your machine, the .dll you need is included in the win32 dev package zip in curl\lib\libcurl.dll or curl-ssl\lib\libcurl.dll (alternatively, just copy the dll from your 3.2.4 install directory, it's the same)
