windows.h huh? The express editions may not come with the (freely available) (Visual C++ 6.0 installs with an older version of the SDK, which is sufficient for Quake). you'll also need the installed as well, I'm not 100% certain the headers provided with the Quake source are sufficient.

Regardless, C# language support is not required. Quake and all it's utilities are in C, any good C++ compiler can handle it.

I guess it didn't, but I did find the headers in an old LCC installation I had stored away. In the case of compiling Darkplaces source I failed with the following warnings and an error toward the bottom when compiling filematch.c:

c:\program files\microsoft visual studio 8\vc\include\win.h(7) : warning C4005: 'FALSE' : macro redefinition

c:\program files\microsoft visual studio 8\vc\include\win.h(14201) : see declaration of 'get_osfhandle'


So what I'm thinking is that with quake the older header files might be ok, but with DarkPlaces the impact might be a bit more important?
