I'm trying to make a mod for a game (Jedi Academy, if it matters). It says to use Microsoft Visual C++ v7.00, which I don't have, but I found Microsoft's free command line compiler and was hoping for it would work. Then, however, I found myself unable to work with their cryptic '.sln files'. Soo, after some searching, I happened upon this CodeBlocks IDE. I was able to import the sln file and tried to compile. It went all the way from AnimalNPC.c to w_saber.c, but then came up with
Execution of 'rc.exe -fo..\Release\JK2cgame\codemp\win32\JK2cgame.res ..\win32\JK2cgame.rc' in 'C:\projects\JEDI_Academy_SDK\codemp\cgame' failed.I searched for rc.exe on my computer, but found nothing. In a thread on this forum (
http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,1261.0.html), I read that the MS Platform SDK is required so downloaded and installed it. I went to Settings->Compiler->Programs and chose the newly-there RC.exe for the appropriate slot. I tried compiling again and got the same problem (although it was RC instead of rc, so I know it's looking at the new path). So, I am now stuck.
Thanks for reading/any help.
