     C:\development\curl\include

     C:\mysql\include


     "Library Files"
     C:\mysql\lib\opt

     C:\development\curl\

Crystal Space (CS):

     MSVC 8.0 open C:\development\CS\mk\msvc8\wkstypical.sln

     Make sure that your specific 'msvc' folder has the 'read only' box unchecked before

     continuing.(I do not know where 'read only' is)

'Build Solution'
    After i select 'Build Solution' the program start to compile

    However i have the error
    c:\development\cs\include\csutil\zip.h(32) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file:
   'zlib.h': No such file or directory
    LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file '..\..\out\debug8\libs\libcrystalspace_d.lib'

Please, install IRC and visit #planeshift-build on Freenode. The people there offer great help for builders!
Anyway:
- What do you mean with "Cannot update from...". What needs to be updated?
- Did you install the correct version of the CS winlibs?
- Right-click on a folder, go to properties, at the bottom of that menu you see a checkbox with "Read only" behind it. Uncheck it.

[steuben]

i know that one. took a while to sort that one out
the compiler can't find the 'zlib.h'  double check that you installed the cswin32 libraries to the right location and have told vs 2005 that they are there. once i did that that the whole thing compiled right the first time.

[ctlmo5]

Thank You
i reinstall cswin32, the problem of zlib.h is sorted.

However there have many warning and.... new error....

Make sure that shell32.dll, user32.dl,l and friends are being linked in.  The usual culprit in these errors is VC8 not knowing that it should use those libraries by default (the Express Edition defaults simply to dragging kernel32.dll in)

[Cinquero]

Or just get VirtualBox from www.virtualbox.org, install Debian 4.0r0 on it, and then use that virtual machine for development. I even have a tested build script for that system (which also detects and, downloads and installs missing parts).
