Ok, I finally got this:

code:

--------------------Configuration: ctp2 - Win32 Final--------------------
Linking...

ctp2.exe - 0 error(s), 0 warning(s)

Your last errors were linker errors and so it only needs to link the files, which is quite fast. I'm unsure about where that extra 7.26MB comes from if it's a Final build though.

That's not a problem, the game may run a little bit slowly. That's because you use a introductory version of VC++ 6.0, that comes with this little disclaimer message, when you start the program. In addition they removed all the optimization features therefore the warnings about the unknown compiler options. One of these features is to optimize the executable size that is missing.

And for the no compiling like before: You are right there was no compiling, the compiler already compiled everything to *.obj files you can find in the final subfolder of the project's folder. The only thing that was done was to link everything together.

By the way now you can start to test your code and check weather it compiles on your own.

Great!

I was in the middle of uploading it to see if you guys wanted to double check it, here's the link anyways (it revision 407)

Martin, as for testing and cmpiling my code does my introductory version tell me where or what the problem is? Or because its introductory it leaves that out?

thanks

The only difference between the introductory version and the full version is that you are not allowed to build commercial programs. And to make sure that you can't do this, they removed all the optimization stuff, and added this nice disclaimer popup message. It isn't very professional if your program has such a popup or is slow.

If your code contains syntax errors, then even this crippled version of VC++ tells you that and where you can find the problem.

Of course if it contains other bugs it copiles for instance something like this:

code:

while(true){
    // Some code
     if(something_that_is_always_false_but_is_supposed_
to_be_a_variable){
        break;
    }
}
