Need help building TGB

by Jordan Jeremy Wallet · in Torque Game Builder · 04/26/2010 (4:44 am) · 4 replies

I don't really know C++, but I stuck VMPlayer and its requisite files into the source code, and tried to build it with VC++2005 Express. Thing is, it game me some errors that don't seem to have anything to do with my changes. :[

[code]popupMenuWin32.cc
..\..\source\platformWin32\menus\popupMenuWin32.cc(216) : error C2065: 'MIIM_STRING' : undeclared identifier
winOGLVideo.cc
..\..\source\platformWin32\winOGLVideo.cc(858) : error C2065: 'AW_BLEND' : undeclared identifier
..\..\source\platformWin32\winOGLVideo.cc(858) : error C3861: 'AnimateWindow': identifier not found
cardProfile.cpp
..\..\source\platformWin32\cardProfile.cpp(14) : error C3861: 'EnumDisplayDevices': identifier not found
..\..\source\platformWin32\cardProfile.cpp(14) : fatal error C1903: unable to recover from previous error(s); stopping compilation

I haven't touched any files outside of /audio/ other than platformAudio.h, so I'm sure this problem must be pretty common. What should I do?

    Assuming you've got all the OS SDKs installed, go into "platformWin32.h" and search for "_WIN32_WINNT". Change it to equal "0x0501" and recompile.

    That did the trick! Thanks so much. Any reason my computer is different from the default?

    No, that should have been the default setting a long time ago. I believe it has been changed for the next release TGB 1.7.5

    Note that this fix has been posted many times on the forums.
