Hi,
I managed to compile bzflag-2.0.12 in visualC++ 8 express following the instructions in http://my.bzflag.org/bb/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=13675 + after installing vcpp redistributable package and copying zlib1.dll under bzflag source directory. I can run bzflag.exe but bfzs.exe crashes. There seems to be an issue with msvcr90.dll ("bzfs.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.", error report). Any suggestion what's wrong? Thanks for your help.

An update: with bzflag-2.0.10 this is not an issue.

Re: bzfs and msvc*90.dll
VisualC++ 8 comes with c runtime libraries v9 (...\VC\redist\x86\Microsoft.VC90.CRT\msvc*90.dll). Where can one find the v8 files and where should they be copied? Thanks for your help.

Ok, tried the following: uninstalled VC++ 2008 redistributable, installed VC+ 2005 redistributable -> still not working.
And the problem is related to the configuration, not version, as I claimed earlier. If I compile with debug configuration, everything works. But after compiling with release configuration, the server crashes regardless of the version (2.0.10 or .12).
I'd guess someone else must have had the same problem...

The 2.0.x line was built using vc 2003(7.1).it has never been xtensivly tested in newer compilers. V2.99.x is designed for vc9. The crash is probably a bug in the code.
