Newbie installation question

[cfkane]

How can I incorporate modded C++ files into my mod - aside from just picking up and dropping the Game Core.

I've tried dropping some files I downloaded into Name of Mod\SDK\CvGameCoreDLL, like how I've seen in some mods, but the game doesn't seem to be responding to them.

Is there a simple way to merge the files with the Game Core?

Any changes to the game core will require the whole thing to be compiled again. You will have to merge the code in by hand if you want to merge mods.

okay, how do I compile?
