A few compiling errors

[Relabsoluness]

what's up, when will you give out an official release?

As usual, I don't like to give any fixed dates, but as:

-this has taken way too long already
-speaks about DN Forever aren't that humorous any more
-this is not going to be a major release with loads of new features etc.

so a tentative 'within a month' seems appropriate.

Maybe you guys could start updating that beta thread: http://forum.openmpt.org/index.php?topic=18.0

It seems quite up-to-date if you ask me.

EDIT: I'm pretty sure that no executables were posted at the release page after Rewbs left.

I'm pretty sure about that as well. The latest builds have been less public on purpose.

It seems quite up-to-date if you ask me.

My bad, I was just looking at the post date "Posted: Tue Oct 11, 2005".

[Rakib]

Relabsoluness: Just to be sure when you guys release the new version, please don't forget to write down all the stuff you have fixed. If there is a lot of new functions please let us know. I wanna try out everything.

[Rakib]

Thanks, looks like its been a lot of minor changes. No big ground breaking things.

[Saga Musix]

Did you really expect that?

[Rakib]

Isn't it better to hape big hopes and be crushed rather than having small expectations and be pleasantly suprised? :p

[residentgrey]

I see Relabs and Jojo are the heavies now, keep up the good work! Does the source compile with GCC or you HAVE to have VS? I may take a stab at it for an odd hour or so over the next couple months, see what happens.

[Relabsoluness]

Does the source compile with GCC or you HAVE to have VS?

VS is needed, standard version or above; can't be compiled with the VC++ express edition.

[Rxn]

Does the source compile with GCC or you HAVE to have VS?

VS is needed, standard version or above; can't be compiled with the VC++ express edition.

I tried to compile it just now with Express Edition just to see what happens, it didn't work. It said that some header file was missing.
