(I know there's a very similar thread about this, I just didn't want to necrobump)
I have been trying to look around at FamiTracker's source code using Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Express and I was having problems experimenting with changing variables (the same problem detailed in [url=http://famitracker.com/forum/posts.php?id=5496]this thread).
At the end of the forum post, poodlecock states that DLLs can be used to add support. I tried downloading mfc90.dll from dll-files.com, giving it its own directory and adding that directory to the 'Include files' list in Tools > Options > Projects and Solutions > VC++ directories and Visual C++ still claims that hhc cannot be found when trying to compile.
Does anyone know how to help? I would like to avoid buying the Professional Edition if at all possible.
Many thanks in advance

Edit: By the way, I'm using the 0.4.6 source if that is of relevance, although I had errors with 0.4.4 as well.

I tried futzing around with getting FamiTracker to compile with VS Express but it's ultimately a waste of time.
Microsoft recently released what is basically the full version of VS, but for free. It includes MFC and the help compiler and all the other junk that FT needs to compile. You can get it here: http://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/products/visual-studio-community-vs
So it wouldn't make a difference if I'm using later versions of Visual Studio, Microsoft Foundation Class and the DirectX SDK than the one FamiTracker was written with? I should mention that I'm using Windows XP.
Edit: Tried Visual Studio Community in XP, it claimed that I needed a more recent version.

It shouldn't matter. I compiled FT with VS Community 2013 just fine.
Of course I'm on Win7 so VS Community worked... not sure how to get it done on XP. If you CAN get all the dependencies (MFC, help compiler, DX SDK) installed for use with VS Express somehow, it should work! It's either that or getting a real copy of Visual Studio, but good luck finding a version that'll work on XP these days.
I wasn't wanting to change specific variables, I was just wanting to see the source code and mess about to see what affects what. Nothing at all like [url=http://hertzdevil.info/programs/]0CC-FamiTracker or any of that.

Okay, I have obtained a version of Visual Studio that returns this error and stops compiling.
[quote=Visual Studio]Error 1 fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'boost/scoped_array.hpp': No such file or directory l:\ftsauce\source\compiler.cpp 21 FamiTracker

Any help is appreciated
