Re: Strange warning when linking...
 

ROFL, now I use KDevelop most of the time :)

or for a Windows IDE - http://www.eclipse.org or http://sourceforge.net/projects/dev-cpp

[edit: some anticipated notes: if you consider those "features" in a certain proprietary program (even if they are actually useless) which made you say "That can't be even compared with this!" is more important than freedom and rights, I say nothing.]

Re: Strange warning when linking...
 

that's what I did... although I'll soon be forced to switch back to .NET, as the browse feature of MSVC 6 is broken when used with the HL2 SDK.

If it was possible to set up Eclipse or Dev-CPP to work with a Microsoft compiler and to produce state-of-the-art Win32 binaries without wasting too much time configuring it, perhaps I'd give up MSVC in fact.

(...and I hear the GNU rastafarians singing... "get up, stand up.... yeeeeeah.... stand up for your rights..... yeeeeah man.... want a smoke? fffffffffh *cough* yeeeah")
