Cannot open include file: 'StdAfx.h': No such file or directory

[pioneer1337]

Well I followed SectorSeven's guide on how to compile a DLL and except I made a script for a GO not a NPC like he was explaining in his guide. (I don't think that matters though)... Anyway, when it came time to build the project this error came up:

1>------ Build started: Project: SunCannon, Configuration: Release Win32 ------
1>Compiling...
1>Cannon.cpp
1>..\src\Cannon\Cannon.cpp(20) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'StdAfx.h': No such file or directory

Why does this happen?

What compiler are you using?

Project->Settings->C/C++->Category: Precompiled Headers
Choose "Not using precompiled headers"

Your compiler is trying to include StdAfx.h as a precompiled header. That's how you fix this problem in VC++ 6.0 - however, if you can't figure out where to turn it off in your compiler then you can also simply include an empty/blank StdAfx header file in your project and it will compile.
