Compiling TLK 1.4 with VC++ 2005 Express

#1 Yes. I found some instructions on how to compile Torque with C++ Express. And it worked. What problems are you having??

#2 I can compile Torque with no problems its the Lighting kit that I am having issues with heres some of the errors

#4 Those are the remaining errors

#5 Have you set Treat wchar_t as Built in Type to No ?? It's under Project Properties, Configuration Properties, C/C++, Language.

#6 Treat wchar_t as Built in Type id set to yes and I am still getting all those errors

#7 I think that this is the instructions I followed.
www.garagegames.com/index.php?sec=mg&mod=resource&page=view&qid=9253 Have you tried these??

#8 I was very successful following the Compile instructions on TDN for TGE 1.4
It was a breeze.

But!
Fresh Install of Visual Studio 2005
Fresh Install of TLK 1.4

#1)Tried Converting the VC7 - Wont Compile.
#2)Tried adding the http://tdn.garagegames.com/wiki/images/e/e8/TGE_VS2005.zip patch. - Wont Compile

I Know Im missing some obvious things.
I know that TGE Patch is probably missing some TLK Elements.
I use to use TBE, and am new to Visual Studio 2005.

Can someone spell out the required step by step instructions
on exactly how to get TLK 1.4 to Compile with Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition.

Thanks

#9 Ive expienced problems compiling TLK in VS2k5 as well. Ive used the patch found on TDN to make a VS project file.(found here tdn.garagegames.com/wiki/Torque/vs2k5))

All of my errors occur when linking *.obj files. Then engine still runs after the 191 erros occur, but Im not sure why. I was thinking it may be occuring when the complier is creating a debug version of TLK.

BTW: I am having no problems compiling toque without the TLK features.

Thanks for any input

#10 You need to start with a clean TGE 1.4 to make sure the TDN process works correctly for you.

If all goes well perform the same steps on TLK 1.4 and then add the TLK source files as outlined in the Developer's Guide section 'Adding TLK Files to the Torque Projects'.

#11 It went well thank you for the information.
Everything Compiles Great.
