I succeeded compiling Wesnoth on MS Windows :-)

Thanks it works fine!
(The clever installer has even created the enviroment variable itself)

BAM!
Necromancy.

Anyway, i followed the _very_ valuable advice by Viliam here, and, after a bit of tweaking (having to understand why installing SDL removed the previous installation of SDL_net and vice-versa, changing the include in one file from SDL_types.h to SDL_ttf.h, and realizing compiling failed because it needs python2.4 and i had python2.5), i finally reached a point where there is another mistake, and this one i don't understand how to get out of. Of course, this is mainly due to the fact that i have not compiled in a loooooong time but anyways, i'd like your help, ladies and gentlemen.

Here's the log of the mistake:

You need to add soundsource.cpp and soundsource.hpp to the project file.

Many thanks, i'm trying that right away =)

EDIT: thanks, everything worked perfectly!
