Compiling troubles with Visual Studio 2010

Post by Shofixti »

Heyo, I'm a GSoC Student and I've been trying to set up Visual Studio for development with Wesnoth. It's been... Less than cooperative.

I've followed the instructions at http://wiki.wesnoth.org/CompilingWesnothOnWindows as exactly as I can. I have confirmed that the PATH environment variable is looking in the right place, that the Library and Include directories are set for each solution and it seems as if building finishes with no errors. However, when I push F5 to run the program in Debug, I get the following in the log:

And when I try to build for Release:
http://pastebin.com/SK4fnUvM

I'm obviously on the wrong track somewhere...
I should note that I am using Visual Studio 2010, with Service Pack 1 and using the external files as provided by this link https://dl.dropbox.com/u/20447449/externalVC10.zip
The problem is the same for both the 1.10.6 source and 1.11.2 source.

In a worst case scenario, I can always just move back to Eclipse, as I've had some experience compiling in C++ in Eclipse already, but I was really rather hoping to take this opportunity to get to learn Visual Studio, seeing as how many jobs out there require some knowledge of it... So any help here is greatly appreciated!
