Not one that can compile ZDoom...
Must we go over this again?

I just built the current revision with MinGW just a few hours ago. Surely you can't still use that excuse.
Alternatively, you could get Visual C++ 2005 Expression Edition. That can also build it with minor changes.

How do I build with Visual C++ 2005 Express?

MinGW won't work on my PC for some reason. I already tried that.

Won't that interfere with 6.0? I need 6.0 for work.

What doesn't work with MinGW? All you have to do is extract everything into c:\mingw and then make sure c:\mingw\bin is in your PATH. However, I just tried building it on my laptop (which I just discovered I had compiled my own GCC 4.0.2 on), and you also need dbghelp.h, which doesn't appear to be in any convenient package for MinGW, so I used the copy from the Platform SDK.

No, you could have 5.0, 6.0, 2002, 2003, and 2005 all installed if you wanted, since they each get installed to their own directory. I've had 6.0 and 2003 installed side-by-side for years just so that I can build the Win32 ACC with 6.0 and use the MSVCRT.DLL that comes with Windows.
I just installed 2005 on my desktop, so I will probably be updating the project files for that in a few days.

My computer is so whacked right now I can't hardly do
anything. It's extremly annoying.
According to my file system, the last time I reinstalled windows was July of 2001, so you can imagine how bogged-down everything is by now. I can't run any installers and editig the registry can take hours. I have been trying to get my computer re-formatted, but I don't have enough space across my network to back-up all my stuff.
