 ===== Compiling Player =====
-You need to place the [[https://github.com/EasyRPG/Readers|Readers library]] sources into the player lib/readers folder.
+You need to place the [[https://github.com/EasyRPG/liblcf|liblcf]] sources into the player lib/liblcf folder.
 Open the solution file in ''player\builds\vs2010'', select "Debug" or "Release" configuration from the configuration manager pulldown menu and then go to Build->Build solution, or just press Control-F7 to compile it.
 The Player executable should be in the folder ''bin''. If you are not using the precompiled libraries, and you have dynamically linked Player, you will need to place the required .dll in the same folder Player.exe is.
+===== Troubleshooting =====
+==== "Already defined" linker error ====
+This usually happens if you link against the wrong visual studio runtime and shouldn't happen if you follow the build instructions mentioned above.
+If you got the libraries from other sources make sure that their runtime library (Project Properties -> C++ -> Code generation) is set to "Multithreaded Debug" (/MTd) for debug and "Multithreaded" (/MT) for release. To hide the error go to "Project Properties -> Linker -> Input -> Ignore Specific Default Libraries" and ignore LIBCMT.LIB or LIBCMTD.LIB (ignoring one of them should remove the error but it's recommended to link the libs against the correct library instead!).
+==== LINK : fatal error LNK1123: failure during conversion to COFF: file invalid or corrupt ====
+Press compile again, then linking should succeed, if not:
+This error happens because of conflict of two versions of cvtres.exe if you have Visual Studio 2010 and 2012 installed on same PC. To fix it, go to the bin directory of Visual Studio 2010 (usually C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\bin\) and rename cvtres.exe to cvtres0.exe. It will not break the linker of 2010.
