Hello I downloaded the source code to an IRC bot, and Im having trouble compiling it.

I get the following errors.

Was wondering if anyone could help me ?

And tell me what file I can find the setmem function in.

THanks

Hey, welcome to the forums!

It looks like a compiler thing, so where did you get the source & what compiler <if any> was recommended?

It's hard to debug without any source

The only mention of a www.clipx.net function I can see is one of Turbo C's propietry functions. Not part of the ANSI standard.

I got the source from http://www.z0mbie.host.sk/zombot.zip
and I am using Mircosoft Visual Studio C++ Compiler.

And I wasnt recommended a compiler.. im just one of those M$ idiots lol.

Thanks for the reply.

Too many .cpp files make me go crazy

Garth could you download the source and try to compile.. see how many errors you get with your compiler ? plz and thx.

I'll try, but at the moment, I've only access to work PCs (I've been moved for the summer), so only if I've time.

If anyone else could help out, I'd appreciate it.

Ah no need, I fixed it. You were right it was the compiler. I used lcc compiler and it worked fine.

Just to let those of you who dont have an antivirus. Enclosed in that zip file were various viruses that my anti virus picked up. Just to let you know

Thanks for the warning, DarkSteel. I will remove the link to the infected file.

Bots are always regarded as viruses due to their explicit ability to run code on the host machine. It is not necessarily malicious.

If I remember correctly, the zip file had only source code enclosed. It may have been taken over or something ??:
