Build Errors LNK2019 when using VS2013 and T3D Empty Template
by Charlie Barkley · in Torque 3D Beginner · 07/10/2016 (11:28 am) · 6 replies
When I follow the instruction in the tutorial I fail compiling the "<projectname> DLL" project because of the following error:
When I look for entity.obj it is NOT within the path given at the second error message it is withing the build dist directory:
I really tried a lot like comping with vs110 instead of 2013's vs120 and using another template project from the project manager - but always the same issues. I really want to get started but this blocks me for two days now :(

Use Find in VS2012 to search for setOwner and addComponent. There has to be two declarations of each.
For example:
void setOwner in Component.h -- and --
void Component::setOwner(...)
{
//body
} in Component.cpp.
Same for addComponent in Entity.h and Entity.cpp.
Like James Burch said, the functions could also be missing because one of the files is not part of the project.

This is a Link error, meaning a function is defined in the *.h file but not declared in in the *.cpp file. Either setOwner or addComponent are not declared in the *.cpp file or are missing all together.Use Find in VS2012 to search for setOwner and addComponent. There has to be two declarations of each.

I had the same issue and to fix it, I created folder components at Project DLL -> Source Files -> Engine -> T3D and added existing files component.cpp, component.h from the directory Torque3D-3.9\Engine\source\T3D\components.
btw I used VS2015 community.

To my knowledge old versions prior to vs2015 are not supported for the new release of torque 3d v3.9, so please follow that guide above, BTW you not necessary need to compile at least you need program the engine in C++

The preferred platform to build the projects at the moment is CMake. Going forward for 4.0, we're working on a brand-new Project Manager to replace the old one, but it's not ready as for 3.9.
The recommended versions of Visual Studio are 2013 and 2015.

Hey guys, looks like we were a little unclear on this. I'll make sure to update the release posts to reflect it, but the current version of the Project Manager is considered obsolete and not recommended. It can be tweaked to work, but it will have some issues out of the box with filtering out some files.The preferred platform to build the projects at the moment is CMake.
