problem building CS 1.2.1

[anmbia]

Hello,

I'm trying to build CS 1.2.1, but I'm getting a weird error.  I'm using visual C++ 2008 express edition as my complier, and before I could load the wkstypical file it said that the project was built with a previous edition of visual c++, and that I had to convert the files.  The conversion went okay, but I'm wondering if this is what is causing the error.  I used the file from the msvc8 folder, but I think the compiler comes with visual c++ 9...

the error:

84>fancycon.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: virtual unsigned long __thiscall iEventHandlerRegistry::GetGenericID(char const *)" (?GetGenericID@iEventHandlerRegistry@@UAEKPBD@Z)
84>..\..\fancycon.dll : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals

I'm also getting a ton of warnings about using deprecated classes:
warning C4996: 'csPolygonMeshBox::GetTriangles': csPolygonMeshBox is deprecated; use csTriangleMeshBox instead

I downloaded the most recent version of CS off the trunk with svn, and installed the most recent library package.  It compiled on the first try!  Not a solution to the problem with 1.2.1, but I'm happy.

MSVC9 was not yet supported when CS 1.2[.1] was released.
If you want a stable CS version with MSVC9 support, check out CS 1.4 SVN branch.

You should Download MSVC 2005 from here

http://www.microsoft.com/express/2005/download/default.aspx

Then You should install The Platform SDK and The Directx SDK

If you do these you won't have a problem!
