You should be able to build vic by opening a visual studio command window in the ag-media directory, and: devenv vic\vic.sln /rebuild "DDraw Release" You've found the right place to send the patches. We'll have to look at them more closely to decide whether they have general applicability before committing them; a more detailed description of what they accomplish would be helpful. If you run into more trouble, continue sending to ag-dev. Tom B. Bogart wrote: > Hello all, > > I got a co-worker to try and compile VIC for windows but even compiling > TCL fails pretty fast.
