    I was able to build the Masterserver with no problem on VC2005, but the Connection Tester seems to need a library that I can't find:

    Code (csharp):
    1. g:\connectiontester\conntester.cpp(10) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'curses.h': No such file or directory
    This thread:
    Need help deploying Master Server
    http://forum.unity3d.com/viewtopic.php?t=14194&highlight=curses

    says how to get it working in linux with:
    Code (csharp):
    1. sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev
    But how would I go about installing ncurses on windows?

    This thread also mentions it:
    WOOT Thanks Unity! Rakknet!
    http://forum.unity3d.com/viewtopic.php?t=9909&highlight=curses

    but there is no follow-up.

    Any ideas?

    You can find most of the missing headers on the net.
    If you have VS2008 I can give you a working build of the Conntester for windows.
    Anyway, here's the file.

    Thanks for the header shaun.

    That got rid of that error, but then more ncurses missing headers made me-curses at the compiler. (horrible pun, sorry).

    I think I am just going to go the linux route. Gives me an excuse to play with Ubuntu, or maybe LinuxMint.

    Here's the source for a working windows build. I've only compiled it under VS2008, but the original VS2003 solution is still in there.
