right-click on project name 'warzone' -> properties -> Configuration properties -> C/C++ -> General -> Additional include directories

then add your warzone folder path(the one contains data,lib,src blahblah) to the field

hello - ummm ... ok.   it appears we need a very simple ( not sure if this is covered on the wiki or not) set of explanations and rules for the compiling of warzone on all systems that it is now able to do...

i did have a very simplistic tutorial done up by rod at one time but that i believe has since grown??  i dont know...  watermelon and giel would it be possible to go through the steps from installation of the compilers to the actual compiling of the source as on svn.... 


i am not only asking for myself but all others that are trying and those that may try in the future... please and thanks.

as i have stated before - tutorials do not need to be 800 pages of highly technical stuff.... just the actual steps needed to do a successful compilation. ;D

ensure you have platform SDK downloaded from microsoft and installed properly,then add the installed folder names to VC express options/directories settings.

edit:
Tools->options->Projects and Solutions-> VC++ directories -> show directories for

add mingw\bin to 'Executable Files'(the folder where you installed bison and flex)
add devpkg\include to 'Include Files'
add devpkg\lib to 'Library Files'

note:devpkg is the extracted folder from the developer package downloaded from this/gna site.
