1 error when building/compiling a beta EXE (VS2K8)

by Alex Strand · in Technical Issues · 05/09/2009 (6:30 pm) · 4 replies

I have everything set up right like it says in this tutorial (http://tdn.garagegames.com/wiki/Torque/vs2k5), but I always get an error every time I compile a beta EXE.

When I click the green arrow, I get a message saying "Torque Demo - Debug Win32 project is out of date, rebuild?".

Does anyone know what is causing that/how to fix it?

Which version of TGE? If you're using 1.5+ then you really shouldn't be following that guide.

That error messages means that the build files for the project are out-of-date, and also you're trying to use VS2005 (or possibly VC6/VC7) project files in VS2008 -- just let them rebuild and you should be good to go.

Compiling TGE 1.5.2 is as simple as navigating to the "TGE_1_5_2/VS2005" directory and opening the Solution file: "Torque_SDK.sln". If using VS2008 then you have to let it rebuild the solution. This works painlessly and effortlessly with no beforehand-setup. Practically a two-click operation.

I rebuilt, and nothing has changed. Still getting the errors.

Try this:
1. uninstall tge
2. reinstall tge
3. navagate to TGE_1_5_2/VS2005 solution file and click on it. That should open your compiler and there should be an error message telling you the solution is for another compiler. Do you want to import this file to 2008? just click yes, when it's done, compile.

I reinstalled TGE and did what you said, and still get the same thing.

It says "19>../example/torqueDemo_DEBUG.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 40 unresolved externals" in the output window.
