VC++ 6.0 cannot open file "ljpeg_DEBUG.lib"

I suspect this is just a problem with my configuration and not a general bug so I'm putting it in general forum instead of bug reports.

Using MS Visual C++ 6.0 I get a single link error with the message 'cannot open file "ljpeg_DEBUG.lib"' when building the RTS pack. I wasn't sure if I had the most recent version of the pack so I redownloaded and reinstalled today (november 30) - no luck, same error.

Has anyone else encountered this? I feel like I'm overlooking something obvious but can't figure it out.

thanks,
Cholly

Follow up: Tried a release build just for giggles got the same type of error: cannot open file "ljpeg.lib"

I'm guessing ljpeg.lib isn't being built. I'll poke around and report back.

Yeah, the lib hasn't been built, and does not get built using the Build All command. Just right-click the ljpeg files listing from the File view tab and select Build (selection only). Actually though do the zlib first, then ljpeg and lpng, and there may be another.

Thanks Martin, I came back from trying that and found your post,
you guys are quick.

After doing build all, build ljpeg, lpng, and build rts_debug.exe it built with no errors. I guess build all effectively took care of building zlib as you recommended.

Color me one happy RTS pack owner.
