Hi. I'm compiling a 100% unmodified Sauerbraten GUI Edition in MSVC2005. It compiles fine until it starts linking. I get:
console.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp__IsClipboardFormatAvailable@4
console.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp__OpenClipboard@4
console.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp__GetClipboardData@4
console.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp__CloseClipboard@0
main.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp__MessageBoxA@16
..\..\bin\sauerbraten.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 5 unresolved externals
How do I fix this?

Try using mingw or another compiler & linker.

So there's no way to compile under MSVC 2005? Dang...

by Drakas on 02/12/2007 13:41, refers to #2

nobody said that, it's just that i'm suggesting to use a different way of doing it :)

console.obj : error LNK2002: user with no knowledge of C++ detected (please deinstall VS 2005 to fix this problem).

I've got a bit of C++ knowledge. A linker error of that type could mean a missing .lib file or an incorrect function declaration.
