I realized that the mud I compiled was an old copy so I downloaded a copy of 3.68 and started over. I again read README.MSVC8 for the main information. Before getting out of properties, I did as I indicated earlier,
Code:
In the left pane, click the C/C++ folder. Click the Precompiled Headers node. In the right pane, click Create/Use Precompiled Header, and then click Not Using Precompiled Headers.
However, this time I got a lot of errors. Fortunately, Todd has already posted these errors and Thomas has replied.
tbamud.com/forum/2-general/3820-do-these...apply-to-tbamud#4889
Unfortunately (sorry, Thomas) I don't know how to do that.

What is an MSSP-patch, please?

There is a patch in the downloads section, called "TBAmud 3.66 changes for windows" (here : drive.google.com/open?id=0B40XbRH2Qbx5MFQ4SzNBSkViS0k ) .

This patch adds a new conf.h.win file - which will need to be copied to src/conf.h and which has a bug. It lacks the necessary import for winsock in the MSVC part, which is what the previous answer tells about.

It also includes the necessary MS VS project files to get started.

Unfortunately something is still not right after one does this - the mud has a bug with these settings causing it to crash after a couple of minutes. I have still not been able to pin it down - apparently somewhere we're either clobbering memory or freeing something we're not supposed to. This doesn't happen on linux or when compiled in cygwin, so it might be some library included by visual studio that's causing it.

So, I recommend that instead of going through all that trouble, you run tbamud under cygwin.

It's not a problem with protocol.c? Why aren't the errors showing up in other files?

Wow Parna,

I'm sorry to hear that you were having so much trouble. Hopefully you got your new computer up with tba running.

Sorry for the late response. I've been lazy lately! Well, Fade gave really good instructions as well as a TBA zip. This zip was for version 3.57. I then realized that the most recent version 3.68. When I tried that, I couldn't get it to work. Since Thomas felt it would be better to run under Cygwin, I kept to the 3.57. My cygwin version seems to want me to reinstall Cygwin but I don't want to do that on a borrowed computer. My MSVC version works off my removable hard-drive so I'm happier with that. I'm hoping that it will continue working when I plug it into another computer.

I'd hoped I'd have my new computer by now but that didn't work out as planned and now it looks as if I'll wait for spring to get it. This borrowed laptop and my removable h-d are working fine. If I were doing more with my TBA, I'd work harder to get the current copy working but it's not worth the time at this point.

Thanks for worrying about me, Krell :)

Sounds like you have your hands full! I know that we're all looking forward to you replacing your machine and jumping back in. You always have such solid answers and creative ideas.
