Hi, I already integrated SDL into visual studio as their documentation suggests.

Now your dosbox source release offers a project file for visual studio, but the install readme file just says "don't compile under VC 6 etc"

What else is needed to make it compile correctly under Visual Studio 2003 (or is it entirely impossible?)

uhm open the project file

seek the file config.h
check it. (in your case disable stuff you don't have)

and try compiling.

No problem at all. Just get the libraries and use the provided project file (in the directory visualc_net). I have been compiling myself DOSBOX like that without any problems for long time.

With manually removing the .lib calls from the linker options it finally worked out. Before that, it didn't compile though I 0ed the fetures in the config file which I cannot compile yet (missing libs). Correct me if i'm wrong but the called zlib.lib is not included in the publicly availabe archives on sourceforge. There is a zdll.lib though. Is this the same file under a different name or what am I missing?

Thank you for your rapid answer to the inital problem.

well you need the lib variant. (well it depends on your libpng actually)

but you can live without it. I forgot about the libs in the linker sorry.
been a while.
