Compiling the Client Source

Apologize if this is documented somewhere already, but a quick search the forum and wiki doesn't reveal what I'm looking for. Is there a wiki section on compiling the client?

I checked out the source code for the client and built on Win7 using VS2010. 46 of 47 projects built, but one failed. I'm sure I'm missing a dependency somewhere or need to build something first. Here's my error output:

Actually there's another way to work around this too...

I copied the "Multiverse Client" folder from Program Files to my home directory and the patcher runs fine if I run the client from there.

In my experience, you have to be logged into the admin account, for any changes to be made to files etc (patcher) within Windows filing system, this has been true since Vista. I installed Multiverse outside the HD that the OS resides, along with separating the folders in the Users section. It is archaic that Windows seems to demand that all files reside within its own folder system, that's why it needs/uses a registry.

Strange thing is, despite being the only user on my system, I am not by default, the admin. Typical of 'domestic' releases being based upon network admin layering. This began when they dropped NT and Win 98, and amalgamated them into one release.

Ugh, sorry. Posted my reply to this when I was tired enough that I shouldn't have been on the internet...

It was actually meant to be a reply to this:

As for building, the MultiverseClient.VS2010.sln in the MultiverseClient folder builds fine, but those missing files are thrown when building Multiverse.VS2010.sln in the MultiverseClient folder. I don't know what that larger solution file is for yet.
