Yup.

Bobboau, what do you mean "merge FRED back in"?  All you have to do is CVS the fred2_open module and you can write whatever code you need.

[Bobboau]

it doesn't compile
some weird lib is missing, nafxcwd.lib
have no idea were this is or were this is or what this is, but I am sure it is becase the two are totaly separate projects and as such the fred files are seporated from the code files, so I want fred to be included in the FSO project like 'code' is, thus I won't have go through all sorts of crap to get it compileing

You need the "code" project from fs2_open copied to the fred2_open directory.  That probably will fix it.

[Bobboau]

isn't there a way to have them share the code project so I don't have to keep updateing

there is no nafxcwd.lib

That error IIRC is a project file configuration screwup. (The file listed is, I think, part of MFC.) Go into the project settings and change "Use MFC in a Shared DLL" to "Not Using MFC", hit OK, then go back in and change it back. That ought to fix it. (I originally had that problem myself.)

Edit: For more info on just what that file is, check out afx.h in the Microsoft include files. (It is part of MFC.)
