Problem with compiling/rebuilding MaNGOS source code

[Lovepie]

Hello! This is my very first post on this forum. Nice to meet you all.

I am currently on this step on the wiki-guide:

1) Navigate to server\win then Double Click on the following:- If you use Visual Studio 2010 then you open the file mangosdVC100.sln If you use Visual Studio 2012 then you open the file mangosdVC110.sln

2) Once Visual Studio has loaded, then on the build menu, then select ‘Configuration Manager’

3) Change the ‘Active solution configuration’ to Release, then click close

4) Once Visual Studio has loaded, then on the build menu, then select ‘Build’

5) Then select ‘Rebuild solution’.

6) ....This will take a while.

7) Once complete, the following message will be shown:-

“========== Rebuild All: 11 succeeded, 0 failed, 0 skipped ==========”

When I try to rebuild the solution I get this error:

========== Rebuild All: 7 succeeded, 3 failed, 0 skipped ==========

(LINK : fatal error LNK1123: failure during conversion to COFF: file invalid or corrupt)

I tried googling around some and it was suggested to uninstall .net 4.5 and install .net 4 instead. However, my Visual Studio C++ 2010 Express wont even start without the 4.5 version.

I am now completely stuck and have no idea what to do. Please help

Whenever I have hit the '(LINK : fatal error LNK1123: failure during conversion to COFF: file invalid or corrupt)' error, I normally use the 'Clean solution' option in VS and then rebuild.

Which Mangos version are you trying to build (we have 5 ) ?

Hey man; Had the exact same problem when i tried to build mangos zero with VS 2010; tho uninstalling .net 4.5 and getting 4.0 up worked just fine for me;
