I am now building in MSVC 10.0 with the latest head and getting the same exact errors when trying to build the client

I did. 

For dal.obj, there are many _mysql_* symbols symbols unresolved.  I added the mysql library path to the project, as well as copying the libmysql.dll to the ps directory. 

In libpsrpgrules.lib, a pslog::LogMessage(...) is undefined.

Any idea where these symbols are defined that I may not have included?

The link errors I get are as follows(This is in 2005, as I have many more problems in 2010):

Followup:

The SDK doesn't contain the tool.  I used gimp to save the 32x32 png of the icon as a 32x32, 8-bit alpha .ico (the XP format of .ico) and the libraries build successfully.

That being said, others claim to use VS 2005 to build the code, is there a solution that doesn't involve changing from the repository files?

I recently started following the windows MSVC build guide.  I have all of the repositories mapped and up to date.  When I try to build CS, the entire build works except I get an error for startme.ico in /apps/tools/startme/

The error is "Old DIB, Pass through SDKPAINT" or some such error.  I am wondering if this means I didn't install SP1 correctly, as I am running windows 7 64-bit and all I can find about SDKPAINT is that it relates to old resource compilers not working with Vista+ format icons.

I am presently installing SP1 again, as well as downloading the win7 SDK (which I believe contains the said utility).  However, if someone else has had a similar problem or more experience with Windows, please fill me in.


This issue was not present when building with MSVC 10.0 (VS 2010), but in there, after building CS, I ran into issues building PS and would like to use 8.0 since that is the version the guide is based on and I believe the most commonly used.
