Installation question

Hi,

I've been trying to install the GMK and I've been having some issues. Since I wanted to make sure I followed everything, I uninstalled all of my software and did a reinstall of the base Torque 3D 1.0 SDK (not the 1.1 beta). I also installed VC++ 2008 express so I could use it instead of VC 2010. I configured everything according to the vanilla GG Docs and compiled and I am good with the base install.

Now I'm getting ready to install the GMK. Once of the original problems I noticed was that player.h was failing on line #16. Now that I have a base install I can see that:

Original player.h line 16:
#include "T3D/gameProcess.h"

GMK player.h line 16:
#include "T3D/gameBase/gameProcess.h"

If I look at my vanilla install of T3D I see gameProcess.h here:

C:\Torque\Torque 3D 2009 SDK 1.0.1\Engine\source\T3D\gameProcess.h

If I look in my unzipped directory I see "game_mechanics_kit_1_2_8\T3D\Engine\source\T3D\gameBase\" does not contain gameProcess.h and neither does the parent "game_mechanics_kit_1_2_8\T3D\Engine\source\T3D\gameBase".

Step 2 says:
If you want to start a new GMK based project, you will just need to copy files from GMK package
to your Torque Engine folder and overwrite all files with the same name.

I follow this step. When I build I get:

Error 613 fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'T3D/gameBase/gameProcess.h': No such file or directory c:\torque\torque 3d 2009 sdk 1.0.1\engine\source\t3d\player.h 16

I'm getting many other errors as well, but I figured I'd start with that one.

Thanks

OK, I noticed I'm using the 1.2.8. I'm trying 1.2.7 to see if I'm using the wrong version. I know something must be way off and I think this may be it. I'll post an updated when I know. Thanks

OK, the readme in the T3d directory of the 1.2.7 version indicated that was for T3D 1.1. Got GMK 1.2.6, and the T3D/readme says:

GMK 1.2.6 For Torque 3D 1.0.1

so looks like I'm on the right track.

Thanks
