VC++ completely refuses to compile anything

[tomtetlaw]

I'm trying to compile a VC++ 2010 solution of two Static Library projects and I just get this (it's the build log):

1>------ Build started: Project: df_debug, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------
2>------ Build started: Project: common, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------
1>Build started 14/02/2012 10:51:14 PM.

2>
2>Build FAILED.
2>
2>Time Elapsed 00:00:00
========== Build: 0 succeeded, 2 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========

I don't understand - please help :)

zip up all files and attach so that we can see what you did

Below are the messages I get. common.lib is built ok, but df_debug is not because of the error on line 24

Ok well I added in a new project to test the two libraries and after that, I fixed that compile error then it compiled fine. Thanks for your help
