Compiling in Debug mode

I always thought you shouldn't ever compile in Debug? Did someone fiddle with the text? —Unsigned comment added by Fabbecool (talk • contribs) Always sign your posts with four tildes (~~~~)

Trade of words?

If you are using the Orange box source code, you will need to copy Game_HL2MP-2005.sln, game\client\server_hl2mp-2005.vcproj and game\server\client_hl2mp-2005.vcproj and change the 2005 to 2008. --Durub 20:23, 16 Feb 2008 (PST)

Check out this Bug

If you use Visual Studio Express 2008 you will need to check out this bug report......

http://developer.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=214

I contains a fix that you will need to finish the client compile. --Csteinhoff 19:13, 20 Feb 2008 (PST)

This bug exists for me, but the fix does not work. It generates 2520 errors. To fix the errors, you must remove this from the "Configuration Properties/Linker/Command Line" tab for Client_HL2:

/FORCE:MULTIPLE
/NODEFAULTLIB:LIBCMT

Compiler Error C2733

I got this error

C:\vs9\vc\include\intrin.h(847) : error C2733: second C linkage of overloaded function '_interlockedbittestandset' not allowed
C:\vs9\vc\include\intrin.h(847) : see declaration of '_interlockedbittestandset'
C:\vs9\vc\include\intrin.h(848) : error C2733: second C linkage of overloaded function '_interlockedbittestandreset' not allowed
C:\vs9\vc\include\intrin.h(848) : see declaration of '_interlockedbittestandreset'

• I second this. I got it when trying to compile Orange Box code. It's very annoying >:(. Please find a way to fix it. --Kohan 13:51, 15 Mar 2008 (PDT)

fixed.... Just comment lines

__MACHINEI(unsigned char _interlockedbittestandset(long volatile *a, long b))
__MACHINEI(unsigned char _interlockedbittestandreset(long volatile *a, long b))

in C:\vs9\vc\include\intrin.h and remove

/FORCE:MULTIPLE
