I was under the impression that you only needed to restart VC++, not windows as a whole.

I was getting few errors while compiling all the time until i did restart windows ;p i don't know for sure if its actually needed or not :<

Looks like someone forgot to check for compilation before they commited.
Just do an HG clone of the repo again and it should be fixed

Problem solved I took the code for that file from their website and made them, works now!

Great guide easy to follow too and it explains everything very nicely, However I do have 1 problem. When I go to the link to get the TrinityCore Developement Libraries I get the usual 404 error "The requested URL /p/trinitycore/downloads/detail?name=development_libraries-x86.zip was not found on this server" I also get a blank page when I go to the link given for the TDB (https://trinitydb.googlecode.com/hg/full_db/)

I have checked the other links you have given on Page 3, but I still get the same 404 error, I was wondering if there was another place to get these?

Thanks

There is so many updates to the trinity DB I mean files what has larger number than 7900 do I seriously have to apply all there 30+ updates manually?

yeah, you can use: 8722_openssl_libs.zip - trinitycore - OpenSSL library binaries for Windows build, rev 8722 and higher. Drag & drop the lib directory inside this .zip to YourTCdir\externals. - Project Hosting on Google Code
I guess they changed a few things and modified the URL

I did it. And it worked. Dunno if I had to but I did it. I did the ones out of the archive folder for 3.3.3a that were > 7900 (or whatever number) too. Its a PITA, I agree, but at least it worked in the end.

I updated the guide a bit ago, then noticed that it didn't save >.<
I'll redo it when I'm not raging at the edit post feature.

[myran2]

Guide updated again, I fixed some dead links, and made a few things more clear.

thank you! this guide is very well written and everything has worked out so far! already given +Rep, thanks!
It's kinda confusing when you tell us to make the databases, it sounds like you want us to make 5. Just the two sentences before and after the picture are kinda opposing.

[myran2]

I'm pretty sure I've cleaned that up now, if its still there could you tell me the exact sentence?

Thanks for the feedback and the rep

This is the part I think Builtokill is talking about. You wrote: "Create 3 new databases, “World” “Characters” “Realmd”", Then there is a picture showing how to do it, Then below that pic you have: "Do this 2 more times, with “Characters” and “World”".
It'd probably be a little more clear if you change the "Do this 2 more times..." part to: "(repeat this procedure to create the “Characters” and “World” databases)".

When I try to compile I get this error:

10>LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'ssleay32.lib'
10>Build log was saved at "file://c:\Users\Inrego\Desktop\TrinityCore\win\VC90\worldserver__Win32_Release\BuildLog.htm"
10>worldserver - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)
========== Build: 8 succeeded, 2 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========

I've tried searching their forums, I've googled it, installed redistributals and installed OpenSSL and it still fails. I've also downloaded libs from http://code.google.com/p/trinitycore/downloads/list and placed it in that folder you told someone to on page 2 or 3 (it didn't exist already, so I created it?)

This means that you didn't place the files from 8722_openssl_libs.zip - trinitycore - OpenSSL library binaries for Windows build, rev 8722 and higher. Drag & drop the lib directory inside this .zip to YourTCdir\externals. - Project Hosting on Google Code
into your %VC9.0 INSTALL DIR%/VC/lib folder.
If you've already done that, make sure you've restarted Visual Studio and your PC for good measure.
