The first problem! Yay! :)

--------------------Configuration: Torque Shader Engine - Win32 Release--------------------
Linking...
LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file "d3d9.lib"
Error executing link.exe.

TSE.exe - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)

Does this need to be downloaded from Microsoft somewhere (I'm assuming) and linked manually to build? Anyone know if Microsoft makes this library freely available in the d3d sdk? I know jack about d3d really, and I'm about to google it after this post so I may find my own answer.

I'm really just an art guy with minimal knowledge (enough to get by) so if I sound stupid, don't shoot! :)

Ah I found the D3D Sdk 9.0b on the old Microsoft site, downloading that right now.

I guess I should of read the Getting started thing first. Woops. I'm on that....

Make sure you get the SDK, not the runtime. Also make sure it's the Summer Update version. Here's the link.

Thanks I was downloading the SDK (huge like 268 megs) but it wasn't he summer version. :)

Downloading the right one now, I figure this will probably just add it's paths and stuff as defaults in MSVC and that will take care of my linking problem, obvious since I didn't have it to start with. Duh on my part.

Problem solved 100%, it was just lack of the SDK. :)

Thanks Brian!

Yep I forgot to add the paths into VC6 and that was giving me the same problem.
