in my opinion someone who has been using NeL for a couple of days should not be submitting patches of this magnitude at all
i maintain the VC 7.1 solutions which are work in progress and add more every week when nevrax has time they work without fail and i have not failed in guiding anyone through compile yet with MSVC 6.0, 7.0 and 7.1 so if you had issues compiling your the minority tell us your issues and we will reply with how to get past them :)
i know of several people who use them and several unix users i know most of the people who use NeL full stop and not one has had issues with paths in the solutions.( which by the way relative paths are INTEDED lol they are the correct way to do it )
maybe you should come to IRC and talk to us before throwing a huge patch into mailing list see if you are just reinventing the wheel or even potentially changing something that is inteded to be the way it is.

I have created a patch (attached) however I do not believe this is the
optimal form, as it is 2 mb uncompressed and I am sure I did not made that
many changes, its not entirely functional (the code still does not entirely 
compile under MSYS) and has many '$Id:' changes due to the import that I
don't think are right.
I am submitting this patch with the hopes that it may be useful for example 
to get the VC++ 7.1 projects and solution files to a more portable state,
since they have relative paths included in themselves, and some other
changes related to MSYS compilation (autotools and defines mostly).

Also so I can get some help with the problems I described before :)
Once I get the source tree to properly compile I will create a proper patch. 

Thanks :)

if you could make .patch files and throw them at the mailing list that
would be handy indeed
then vianney lecroart can patch the NeL cvs tree with ones that are approved

Hi Andi,

Great! I updated my cvs yesterday, but before I did was still having the
replicate symbols errors on VC++7.1.

also on the clamp asm right at the top I realized after I sent the email
that instead of:

mov eax, v
mov ebx, v

You should do

mov eax, v
mov ebx, eax

since moving data from register to register is faster than memory to
register, in any case in both cases eax and ebx end up with the same
value, you can check my copy of the cvs tree to see the inline gas
version, I also changed some other asm around and added a check for
3DNow! on cpu_info.cpp I think it is.

Cheers! ;)
