[sldev] [HELP] C++ newbie needs help with first compilation

[Gordon Wendt]

Which version of Visual Studio are you running?  There are some great
instructions on the wiki (
http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Get_source_and_compile) but it'll be a lot
easier to point you to a specific set of instructions and it'll save you a
lot of time searching around for them.
