Compile for Vs2013 does not work

by Andy S. · in Torque 3D Professional · 09/24/2014 (9:02 am) · 2 replies

Hi,

I just downloaded the latest dev branch and wanted to compile using Vs2013. However, there are many compile errors...are there any prerequisites for T3D to compile using Vs2013? Or any step by step guide?

Hmm. As you can see our CI system is compiling the engine with VS2013 no problem. Ah, but I just noticed it's using CMake to generate project files, not the project generator. Here's a tutorial on using CMake to generate a project.

I used the project generator when I was doing something with the dev branch a few weeks ago and it worked fine.

Make sure you're using the VS2010 build files. Visual Studio may or may not prompt you to upgrade the solution and project files when first opening it. If it doesn't then you'll get errors when trying to compile. Under Project there should be an option to Upgrade Solution. That will upgrade the solution and project files and you should be able to compile successfully afterward.
