Errors when Compiling Trunk r27623 using VS2015

[Commisdot]

Hi Guys

Trying to work out how to compile. I get the following errors.

libpng.lib(pngerror.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __iob_func
zlibstat.lib(gzlib.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol sprintf
libfreetype2.lib(bdf.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol sprintf
icuuc.lib(putil.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol sprintf
icuuc.lib(uloc.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol sprintf
icuuc.lib(rbbi.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: bool __cdecl type_info::operator!=(class type_info const &)const " (??9type_info@@QEBA_NAEBV0@@Z)
icuuc.lib(uchriter.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: bool __cdecl type_info::operator!=(class type_info const &)const " (??9type_info@@QEBA_NAEBV0@@Z)
icuuc.lib(schriter.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: bool __cdecl type_info::operator!=(class type_info const &)const " (??9type_info@@QEBA_NAEBV0@@Z)

Any ideas ?

Found the issue. This version requires useful stuff 6.0.

All compiled.

Thanks,

Where did you find "useful stuff 6.0"?

I'm running into similar errors with VS2015 and solution file openttd_vs140 and openttd-useful-5.1, so I suspect that your fix will also resolve the issue for me, but I'm having trouble applying it.

I've found https://wiki.openttd.org/Compiling_on_W ... 2B%2B_2012
which links to http://www.openttd.org/en/download-openttd-useful
which only has version openttd-useful-5.1, from 2013. I can't seem to find a 6.0 anywhere.
