New to Compiling using VC++ 2005 express edition with Torque 1.4
by Donny Wilbanks · in Technical Issues · 02/10/2006 (3:17 pm) · 12 replies
"Hello World", grrr...
I am rather new at working with compilers and such. I am using MS VC++ 2005 Express Edition and using the standard Torque 1.4 SDK.
From what I understand there are a few differences between Xpress and Profesional, but there are similarities. Most of which I am falling to understand the software. So I am asking for a bit of help.
This is the post I found (orginal post) http://www.garagegames.com/index.php?sec=mg&mod=resource&page=view&qid=9253
I just got Torque 1.4 to build under Visual Studio .NET 2005 tonight. Its actually pretty simple when you know how. Just do the following:
1. Use the project conversion wizard to convert the project to Visual Studio .NET 2005.
I am basicly stuck at step 1. I do not see the "Porject Conversion Wiazrd".
or maybe somebody has another Tut on how to compile Torque with this compiler.

1.) Are you using windows 2000/XP?
2.) Are you sure that you have not modified your cmd program, such as installing a 3rd party DOS program?

Then I run the program, says the binary was not built and I continue on
when Torque fires up it stops because it can not open the main.cs

It's all built as expected. Plus, I had to start with a fresh copy of tge becouse I had attempted to use tbe to build it first.

I figured out what my problem with building was...I didn't copy the folder lib/MSPlatform to the lib folder.It's all built as expected. Plus, I had to start with a fresh copy of tge becouse I had attempted to use tbe to build it first.

TGE 1.4.2 wil include the VS2005 solution and files as part of the install so you can get up and runnign right out of the box.

Glad you got it straightened out =)TGE 1.4.2 wil include the VS2005 solution and files as part of the install so you can get up and runnign right out of the box.

The instructions for the TGE-VS2005 patch say the following:
This is not correct for TorqueSDK-1-4. The installer will put all the necissary files into Torque\SDK not in the main Torque directory. Simply extract the files into Torque\SDK and it should compile wonderfully.
-or-
Use these updated instruction :)
Extract this archive into your folder. It should create a new folder called VS2005 in the same folder where the vc6 and vc7 folders are located. It should also create the new folder
Maybe that helped someone.
EDIT: You may want/need to uninstall and reinstall your Torque if you have played around too much trying to fix it yourself.

This following step is key from here: http://tdn.garagegames.com/wiki/Torque/vs2k5
------------------------------------
Ok, let's prepare Torque:
3) Open up Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition Beta. Choose File->Open->Project/Solution and browse to\VS2005\Torque SDK.sln
4) Now right-click on Torque Demo in the Solution Explorer and choose "Properties" (at the bottom). Under "Configuration Properties" on the left click on "Debugging". On the right put in ../example in the "Working Directory" property. Next, choose "Release" from the "Configuration" drop down at the top left. Put in ../example in the "Working Directory" property here also.
------------------------------------
With TGE 1.5 I didn't need to apply any of the patches mentioned in that thread.
My mistake was instead of typing in ../example, I browsed to the example directory

Should get you through all the steps... It's for Visual Studio 2005 Express:)
If you haven't gone to TDN you might have trouble getting to the page but keep trying and you'll find it.
