46 Errors on first compile

by John Eric Miller · in Torque Game Engine · 04/10/2003 (5:30 pm) · 7 replies

Each error is as follows...

e:\torque\lib\ljpeg\jinclude.h(35) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'stddef.h': No such file or directory

What is the problem? Is my installation of Visual Studio 6.0 messed up?

Any help would be appreciated.

yes that happend to me - only i got 396 errors.

Turns out that MSC can't handle a .cc file - so you have to run the little file that comes with the code to tell MSC about it thenm it compiles and runs perfectly.

It's right there in the dox.

I did that. Do I need to reboot after?

I don't have stddef.h anywhere on my PC. Does this come with Visual Studio? Is my installation broken?

Nothing under help-about says I am on SP5. Should it? I did install SP5.

Thanks

I reinstalled VS 6.0 and applied the SP5 patch and ran the registry file and now everything is working fine. My Visual Studio install mst have been messed up.
