I don't know how to compile TGE using MinGW. I have installed Torgue Game Engine SDK 1.5.2 and TGE 0.6.0 I tried to compile using both Eclipse (as described in the TGE online manual) and using MISYS using the following

make -f mk/configure.mk OS=WIN32 COMPILER=GCC3 BUILD=RELEASE DIR.OBJ=OUT
make

Neither have worked. Both methods result in the following error:

Creating library OUT.GCC3.RELEASE/lungif.a
mkdir: cannot create directory 'OUT.GCC3.RELEASE/gui/containers': No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [OUT.GCC3.RELEASE/gui/containers] Error 1
make: *** [default] Error 2

The odd thing is that there are certain compiled libraries within "OUT.GCC3.RELEASE", but the compilation fails when trying to access ".../gui/containers". Why?

I do not believe there is a tutorial for using MinGW with Torque. The old Torque Build Environment targeted MinGW I believe using Eclipse, but it was put out of many users misery with the release of the Express versions of Visual Studio.

Here you go - a free compiler that will compile the projects with no problem:

I will vouch for visual studio and torque, i never compiled or did anything with c++ in my life and it got it to work the first or second time with the tutorial for compiling it.

TGE 0.6.0 ??? You only need 1.5.2
There was a thread on the forum about using a mingw compiler, but a quick search didn't turn it up.
As said above, visual studio works.

There were several posts about MinGW back in the day, but most of them were mowed under by Visual Studio when MS released Express for free.

Oh, and I think he meant TBE 0.6.0, which was the old Torque Build Environment that was started before Microsoft released Express for free.
