Compilers

by Aaron ward · in Torque Game Engine · 02/19/2006 (2:02 pm) · 2 replies

Hey All,
im just starting to use torque and compiling with some of my C compilers is becoming very difficult. can someone point me in the direction of a free compiler that can compile and run the whole engine?

Thanks,

Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition. Free Microsoft compiler and IDE. Make sure you get the DirectX SDK and the Platform SDK as well.

You'll have some problems getting it to compile at first, but fear not. There are several threads in these forums that address the issue, and within an hour or so after installing VC++ (and the other stuff I mentioned), you'll have a compiled TGE.

Hope that helps.
