I need help to compile the original source code.
Hello, I have not posted here in a while and I would like to apologize for that
, I like what you guys have done with the source code (version 2.2.1) also as stated in the topic header, I need help to compile the original source code for warzone, that was released by Pumpkin Studios, because I would like to mod the original source code. 
Thanks in advance.

Re: I need help to compile the original source code.
Very few here have any experience with the original source. Furthermore, almost none of the developers use Windows/Visual Studio as a primary development platform.
There have, however, been some threads on this in the past — which deal with some of the common compiler errors &c.
On a side note: saying 'you need help' is not particularly helpful. What do you need help with? Is it a compiler error? A linker error?
Regards, Freddie.

Re: I need help to compile the original source code.
I would like Instructions on how to build the source code and get a working .EXE file from the original source release as-it-is (I.E just un-zipped code) I need to know exactly what programs are recommended for this. Also, when I would try to compile it before on my older computer (XP Home editon) it would come up with some errors such as "fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'windows.h': No such file or directory Button.c" I am currently using Windows Vista Home Edition. with no compling software currently installed on it, I need to know what program to install first.

IIRC the source compiled without problems with the compiler used for it in 1999 with the supplied .dsp files. Those say "Microsoft Developer Studio Generated Build File, Format Version 6.00", so you need whatever MS compiler produced those.

Re: I need help to compile the original source code.
When I do a search for Microsoft Developer Studio It come up with Microsoft Visual Studio. Will Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 version work? this is what I used on my XP computer. I need to know if I need any other programs or files for it to compile with that program.
