I'm trying to compile my administration plugin under MSVC7, but when linking while building the Release build, it blows up with this:

What am I doing wrong? Those all seem to be part of tier0/vstdlib, which is in my library path, and it didn't even get this far without them in the path, so I don't think that's the problem.

Include KeyValues.cpp from the hl2sdk into your project.

[showdax]

It's already there, I'm not that absentminded. It's having problems linking with KeyValues.obj, which wouldn't even exist if I didn't compile it.

[c0ldfyr3]

The debug one seems to not be linking with tier0.lib and vstblib.lib.

As for the first one, im unsure where DevMsg is located, as when I try and locate it in my project it cant find the declaration, yet it compiles fine, so im guessing its a stub function ?

You could change all the DevMsg lines to Msg ?

[showdax]

Both binaries are in the library path for both Debug and Release. Removing the DevMsg() call wouldn't fix the calls to MemFreeScratch, MemAllocScratch and GetCPUInformation. I don't think removing the latter three would be a good idea.

[c0ldfyr3]

I dont mean their missing, i mean in ur MSVC project settings, they are not in the input section for the linker.

Oh okay, it builds now. That wasn't very intuitive though. And just adding it to the library path worked just fine for my previous plugin!
