What application is used in the (best) tutorials on compiling the DLL, by the way?

Codeblocks doesn't allow run-time debugging, which is a must have.
True, I think Eclipse does though

That doesn't solve the problem (one-click compiling). And yes MSDN is not a free download place for everyone.
I just mentioned it because it's the only legal way to obtain it.

I'm just getting confused by all this stuff. I think I'll end up learning C++ from the ground up and compiling a DLL (any DLL) would probably be something I learn somewhere along the line. Chances are that I'll get around to doing this when I retire or something, so there is a real probability that I don't even own a computer that can run CivIV by then... Or I won't have access to a compiler that can make a CivIV DLL.
I only wish I had the time to get into something this complicated. I don't even know how to properly use a PC/Windows, so there is a significant learning curve involved here. I'm thinking I should start with something basic like DOS...

You can always try the method described in the guides, with whatever development environment you want, followign advice of whoever you want to advise you, or following any guides you find, here or elsewhere.
It's just that you said you'd like the one-click solution, and I told you it exists. That doesn't mean it's the only way. To compile a modded dll, or to compile a debug dll, a few steps still have to be taken even with VS 2003, you don't alwas get an instantaneaous dll, it's just the environment used by the developers of the game, so it's normally less hassle than any other way. Still, there are other ways, and if you can't get VS 2003 all this talking from my side was for nothing anyway.

I can buy any program I need, I guess, but it might not be available anymore when I get around to actually figuring this out. What I originally requested was a CivIV DLL Only Compiler application. There is of course no such thing - its just wishful thinking from my part. Because I find getting into SDK modding somewhat taunting - especially with my non-existent computer skills. But I will of course figure it out once I'm ready to tackle this thing. I need to learn C++ for starters...
Compiling a new DLL is required to do the things involved?
