VSC6 alternative

by Mark Deibert · in Torque Game Engine · 07/15/2003 (3:45 pm) · 6 replies

Just purchased and downloaded TGE with WinCVS. What does one do he doesn't own VSC6? Is there a decent free (or kinda cheap) visual c++ ide/compiler available?

Thanks in advance for your help :-)

    Some have tried to use DevC++
    which is good ..
    but im sure you will still be using a command prompt and makefiles to compile..
    but at least it is a good code editor...

    If you don't need an IDE you can edit with jEdit and compile with MinGW.

    For a nice cross-platform IDE check out Eclipse.

    Has anyone gotten Torque to compile using OpenWatcom? I made a 5-minute attempt (read: I didn't _really_ try) and I ran into a problem with 64-bit integers (I couldn't find what the int64 type was for Watcom).

    Animesh,

    It has been a few years since I have worked with the Watcom compiler so my memory might not be to good, but check limits.h and look for #ifdef __WATCOM_INT64__. I think that will point you towards 64-bit integers.
