Cannot compile

by Phillip O'Shea · in Torque Game Builder · 01/14/2008 (2:40 am) · 15 replies

I recently updated to Visual C++ 2008 and now when I try to compile TGB I get the following:

7>popupMenuWin32.cc
7>c:\program files\garagegames\torquegamebuilder-1.5.1\engine\source\platformwin32\menus\popupmenuwin32.cc(216) : error C2065: 'MIIM_STRING' : undeclared identifier
7>c:\program files\garagegames\torquegamebuilder-1.5.1\engine\source\platformwin32\menus\popupmenuwin32.cc(293) : error C2065: 'MIIM_STRING' : undeclared identifier

7>winOGLVideo.cc
7>c:\program files\garagegames\torquegamebuilder-1.5.1\engine\source\platformwin32\winoglvideo.cc(858) : error C2065: 'AW_BLEND' : undeclared identifier
7>c:\program files\garagegames\torquegamebuilder-1.5.1\engine\source\platformwin32\winoglvideo.cc(858) : error C3861: 'AnimateWindow': identifier not found

Do I need to download an updated version of the Windows SDK? Thats the only thing I can think of.

    I've got the exact same errors. Trying to find out what's going on. If I'm successful I'll post the fix.

    You know, somebody posted elsewhere that it works with VC++ 2005. I'm just going to revert back to 2005 for now.

    I'm still getting those same errors even with the VC 2005. Hmm...

    @Joe:
    Thanks, I'm gonna try that.

    @Phillip:
    I appreciate that link. I've certainly gone through that. I just find it confusing that TGB won't compile because I can compile TGE+AFX.

    Odd, eh?

    Are you doing a clean compile? Sometimes things get munged and you need to clean up and dangling references.

    Has anyone found a solution to this problem? I am experiencing the same issue. TGB 1.7 compiles with errors with Visual Studio 2008 Team edition. TGB 1.6 builds with no problems.
    Thanks.

    Right-click and build Glu2d3d and opengl2d3d manually and then build and you'll have the link files there. Not sure why they aren't automatically added to the link dependencies, though.

    Thats not the problem David. I think it is the PSDK.

    VS 2008 has its own thinned down version of the PSDK, but TGB doesn't like it. I downloaded the normal SDK from the MS website and then followed the instructions on the link above and it works well.

    Ah. I was using 2005 Professional with the full platform SDK.

    I should read before posting.

    No worries David. Philip, could you please post a link to the SDK you downloaded?

    Installing the Microsoft Windows XP platform SDK fixed the problem. Thanks for your help.
