Hello? Can anyone please help me?

I haven't read through this entire thread, but I thought I should point out that the page linked to for the MSVC compiling guide is no longer maintained.

I recommend this page as a replacement: link

I'm attempting to compile 2.5 on Windows XP 32 bit using MSVC 2008 Express and Cmake 2.6, but Cmake is giving me 2 errors that I don't know what to do about. CMake Error: Error: Target blender contains multiple languages with the highest linker preference (0): C; RC You must set the LINKER_LANGUAGE ...

I just tried to compile and things were going swimmingly, but the build failed with the error "cannot open input file avformat-51.lib"

I ran a search of my library directory and found that there is no such file. What to do?

BTW, I'm using MSVC 2008 Express.

Thanks guys, I FINALLY got it to compile. I had to rename lib_msvc to something else and rename lib_vs2005 to lib_msvc, though.

So far based on your posts and the tutorial I think: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Lib C:\Program Files\Microsoft DirectX SDK (March 2008)\Lib\x86 ...

I went to the the VC++ directories and used absolute paths to all the needed directories, just so nothing was left to chance. Compiling again got 286 errors, but they are in relation to a relatively small number of files. IlmImf.lib Iex.lib bf_yafray.lib msvcprt.lib msvcrt.lib MSVCRT.lib blender_bop...

I'm a bit new to compiling Blender and I was successful using Mpan3's tutorial for scons/mingw. I wanted to try compiling with MSVC though, so I tried to follow this tutorial to compile SVN rev 14438, but the build failed with this: 59>C:\build\install\bin\Release\blender.exe : fatal error LNK1120: ...

Cripe, I'd like to see THAT simulation... Glad you could solve your problem. Now just install Linux on a PowerMac with 32GB of RAM.
