TGEA 1.7.1 compile

by Morrock · in Torque Game Engine Advanced · 06/26/2008 (5:04 pm) · 2 replies

I'm trying to recompile a version of TGEA 1.7.1 and I keep getting errors related files that seem to be from directX, it looks like only the include files which have their filename written in < > instead of quotes. Does anyone know this problem? Is it I need to download the DirectX SDK before compiling TGEA? If I do need the DirectX SDK, is there somewhere that I should have read this but didn't so I can avoid more of these questions? :p

Yes. The "Getting Started" page in the documentation should tell you all you need to know to compile.

"Getting Started" in the DirectX SDK documentation? Or in the TGEA documentation? And was that a "yes" to needing the SDK?

I too am having problems compiling TGEA 1.7.2 using VS2008 on Windows Vista Ultimate 64...


EDIT:
Ok, I found the references in the Torque Documentation which gives instructions to DL the DirectX SDK kit and even on how to install and configure it. I know my compiler had errors other than DX related stuff, but let's start here and then try again.
