Torque Game Builder C++ Build fails...

by Jonathan R Hopkins · in Technical Issues · 06/08/2009 (8:10 pm) · 22 replies

I followed the meager bit of instruction on configuring the building process for Torque Game Builder Pro - but it refuses to do a correct build. Now I am fairly sure I did everything correctly - here's an overview:

I am running Windows Vista 64-bit and am using TGB Pro 1.7.4

I followed the instructions here:
tdn.garagegames.com/wiki/TGB/Setting_up_Compiler


  1. I already have Torsion correctly configured.
  2. I downloaded and installed Visual Studio C++ 2008.
  3. I downloaded and installed Windows SDK for Windows Server 2008 and .NET Framework 3.5.
  4. I configured the options for Visual Studios C++ 2008.
  5. I configured the enviornment variable PATH to ;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Plaftform SDK\Bin and then realized it didn't exist and found another instruction in the main "setting up compiler" page that instructs: PATH is set to the same folder as the first directory. The above link shows a different directory - so I assume by "first directory it was referring to the one where I set up my extra Torque - so I set the enviornment variable to "C:\Program Files\Garage Games\Torque Custom".
  6. I change the platformWin32 line to 0x0501
  7. I opened up the .net version instead of the other one.
  8. Then I built it. I made no modifications to anything.


Here's part of the error output. I didn't include all of it because there was a lot.

Any thoughts on why this may be happening?

Thanks :)

Well I'm back already with one more (hopefully) quick addendum. The Audio one is working great - but the dynamic image loader... didn't. It doesn't think it has the method loaded in on when I try to call the method.

I don't know a whole lot about C++ so I'm not sure what I have to do to implement it. I know in Torque Script you have to have a pointer to scripts to have them compile with the game and make their functions available(i.e. exec("./script.cs")) - so do I have to have something in C++ point to this DynamicImageLoader.cc code?

As a quick reminder, the way I "implemented" it (or thought I did) was by going into C++ Express 2008 and clicking "Project > Add Existing Item..."

The writer of this script didn't mention any need for modifying the c++ file (nor did he mention anything about implementing it haha)... so... any ideas?

Once again here is the topic where I got the code:

Dynamic Image Loader

Thanks again :)
