Out of the box compiling

by Dave Slezak (Ninjadave) · in Torque Game Engine Advanced · 07/19/2009 (11:16 pm) · 11 replies

Hello!

I'm not exactly new to compiling, but ever since I've upgraded to TGEA 1.8.1 I've been having compiling errors.
Yes, I have installed the platform SDK and have Direct X March 2008 installed.

I use (Normally) V C++ 2005 and got these errors:

12>c:torquetgea_1_8_1enginelibmsplatformsdkincluderpcndr.h(33) : fatal error C1189: #error :  incorrect <rpcndr.h> version. Use the header that matches with the MIDL compiler.

12>BSCMAKE: error BK1506 : cannot open file '....LinkVC2k5.Release.Win32CrimsonCrow_0.8wmiVideoInfo.sbr': No such file or directory

I recently switched to V C++ 2008 and now have more errors. The same two above and:

12>........TorqueTGEA_1_8_1enginesourcewindowManagerwin32winDispatch.cpp(289) : error C2065: 'WM_MOUSEWHEEL' : undeclared identifier
12>........TorqueTGEA_1_8_1enginesourcewindowManagerwin32winDispatch.cpp(289) : error C2051: case expression not constant
12>........TorqueTGEA_1_8_1enginesourcewindowManagerwin32winDispatch.cpp(291) : error C3861: 'GET_WHEEL_DELTA_WPARAM': identifier not found

Am I missing something?

EDIT: Unlike what the instructions lead me to believe, I noticed "March SDK 2008" Should probably be "March SDK 2009". I'm downloading and will install this right away, and hopefully this fixes any bugs.

EDIT EDIT: Nope same errors. Anyone have a solution?

Did you set the platform SDK directories in Visual Studio?

Here's some info on how to do it

Yes. Thats the first thing I did. I also tried using previous libraries just to be sure (I don't know why, I'm running out of ideas), but that only causes more errors.

Are you running Vista?

Two threads that might help:

one and two.

I'm running Vista 32 and Visual Studio 2008 and mine compiles fine out of the box. Under Tools->Options->Projects and Solutions->VC++ Directories, make sure you have these lines at the top:

Include files:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft DirectX SDK (March 2009)\Include

Library files:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft DirectX SDK (March 2009)\Lib\x86

@Stefan: No I'm running XP and I tried fixing it by right clicking on the Main build object in the Solutions Explorer-> Properties ->Linker->General->Additional Library Directories and added the Platform SDK above the rest.
(C:/Torque/TGEA_1_8_1/engine/lib/MSPlatformSDK/Lib;)
Putting it at the end of the list, in front, and taking it out entirely give me the same results.

@Kerry: My VC++ Directories are:
Executable:
(C:\Program Files\Microsoft DirectX SDK (March 2009)\Utilities\bin\x86)
Include:
(C:\Program Files\Microsoft DirectX SDK (March 2009)\Include)
Library:
(C:\Program Files\Microsoft DirectX SDK (March 2009)\Lib\x86)

And I made sure those are at the top.

Under Executable, this is what I have in their correct order:

$(VCInstallDir)bin
$(WindowsSdkDir)\bin
$(VSInstallDir)Common7\Tools\bin
$(VSInstallDir)Common7\tools
$(VSInstallDir)Common7\ide
$(ProgramFiles)\HTML Help Workshop
$(FrameworkSDKDir)bin
$(FrameworkDir)$(FrameworkVersion)
$(VSInstallDir)
$(SystemRoot)\SysWow64
$(FxCopDir)
$(PATH)

@Kerry: I have those included too, I mean to say the default with the March 2009 SDK at the top.

Seeing as how you don't have the March SDK listed under executable, I took it out and compiled it.

...Nope! Same results. This has become very irritating. :(

Since my team is aiming for a release date thats 'right around the corner', and since this 'really' needs to work, I've gone to some desperate measures.

I have a fresh install of Vista, and I've installed Visual C++ 2008 and the March Direct X SDK 2009.

I have set up the directories correctly.

I now have one error that I can't figure out:

1>BSCMAKE: error BK1506 : cannot open file '....LinkVC2k5.Release.Win32CrimsonCrow_0.8wmiVideoInfo.sbr': No such file or directory

...Help!

Glad you got the other errors fixed with the fresh install.

The make error is caused by VS trying to locate a browse file (although I have no idea what that file is). You can turn off browse information by:

Project->Properties->Configuration Properties->C/C++->Browse Information->Enable Browse Information->None

This is strange:

I had an error explaining I needed a file in TGEA 1.8.1. I forgot since this is a new os, I didn't have the original engine. (Just my project.)

So I install TGEA 1.8.1, load up my project and compile, and now I'm back to the same errors listed at the top.

Guess I'm back to square one.
I'm losing a major amount of sleep to this, and I'm 'completely' out of ideas.
Unless maybe switching to TGEA 1.7.x would work. I don't entirely know the differences so I haven't read up on it, but I just need something to work right now.

For lack of better judgment I skipped sleeping for now only to find this.
I loaded up stronghold and it compiles right out of the box.
So this officially shows that its not a compiler set up issue but a problem somewhere in my project.

...I honestly don't know how or where but I should apologize for making everyone hunt down bugs that weren't the problem!

Anyways thanks for putting up with my incompetence. :)
