So, basically I google searched, and I forum searched, and with the forum search I found one topic matching the exact issue I had, of which they described some sort of self found workaround but it did not work for me.

Basically I'm trying to compile Unreal mainly so I can use it to test with some modules (make DLL modules for other servers on the network).

In short, I'm not using the things from the 'Compiling Win32' workup on the vulnscan site, simply because the links to the suggested 'Free' utilities have changed on the MS website to more recent updated utilities, which are Visual Studio Express 2005 and 'Windows® Server 2003 SP1 Platform SDK'

Basically no matter what I do, I get the following:

Code: Select all

Basically the closest thing I could find to matching exactly what I'm having is This topic.

I couldn't get the 'Workaround' to work at all myself, I basically got something equivalent to their second error at least when I tried to use it to compile a module.

'cl' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'cl' : return code '0x1'
Stop.

Any ideas offhand, or at least a resource point where I could get the linked suggested free utilities from the compiling_win32 guide, but couldn't find them after some (I admit basic) google searching.

for 2-nd example you must do it from VS .net command promt.
for 1-st - take version from latest CVS or wait few weeks to release 3.2.6

Er? I don't get what you mean.

I DID use the Visual Studio command prompt, however as I said if you would read the full post, I have the Visual Studio 2005 Express (free tool), not the .NET Studio since I don't have the money to buy that.

What does grabbing the latest CVS have to do with anything? I don't care to have to update ALL my servers just to match CVS, nor all the modules, as all I need to do is compile a few window dll's for a single server.

A missing windows.h indicates it's not finding the platform SDK. That's all I can tell :P

Well thats what that one topic I linked to said too basically, but he said something about modifying the path environments to point to the SDK environment, but didn't work for me and thats when I got the "NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'cl' : return code '0x1'" error o.O;
