Vc6 workspace / projects don't work for me

by Eric Jergensen · in Torque Game Engine · 06/21/2004 (6:44 am) · 5 replies

I have Visual C++ 6 on XP Home Edition. When I try to open "Torque SDK.dsw", I get a workspace with no projects. If I try to add "Torque Demo.dsp" to the workspace, it claims that it needs to make a wrapper project (or something like that) and proceeds to make a non-functional mess.

A potential complication is that the source tree is actually on my Linux box and map'd to drive h: (I have added write permissions to *.dsp, *.dsw, *.opt).

I have tried Release_1_2_2 and HEAD (as of June 19th or 20th, 2004).

I just compiled the latest CVS with vc++ on xp pro last night, worked fine. Like you said, it's your permissions on the rest of the files. Good luck to you.

Eric, I had this problem. It has to do with UNIX LF+CR when downloading from CVS. You must uncheck ( or check it ) that option so that the files are correctly downloaded.

All you have to do is download again the ".dsws" switching the above option

How embarrasing ... it's in a FAQ!

You guys just saved me a bunch of time, tho. Thanks.
