[M3devel] Fwd: Problems with the linker

[Jay K]

Please buy or download one of the many Visual C++ versions, or one of the Windows SDKs that include a linker.
Once installed, they should put a link on the start menu that launches a cmd/console/command line with %PATH% set to include link.exe.
I'll make this a little easier maybe, but you still need a Microsoft linker.

Options include but are not limited to:

 This might nag you to register but I think to just use the command line you don't have to.

  (see how it says "including compilers")
