Compiling under VC++ 6

by Bruno Grieco · in Torque Game Engine · 05/25/2004 (11:26 am) · 5 replies

Guys,

I'm trying to do this on a Virtual PC on a Mac so I'm not really aquainted to the windows environment.

I installed VC++6 and ran the VC 6 registry program.

But when I open "Torque SDK.dsw". VC open only 1 file. Shouldn't it load the project ? Also the build option is disabled.

Any hints ?

TIA

Bruno,

The .dsw file contains all the information about the other files necessary to build the various executables and libraries. I don't know about the 'Virtual PC' emulator on the Mac, though.

You should be able to see all the files if you select the 'FileView' tab on the left-hand side of the IDE.

It may be a few years old, but Visual Studio 6 is still a nice IDE to work with.

Make sure you have "Checkout text files with the Unix LF (0xa)" unchecked when you use WinCVS (Admin->Preferences->Globals). This is the most common cause of this issue.

Hmmm,

That might be the problem. I checked it out on MacCVS, that didn't have this option. Actually I think it must have the LF cause it's a UNIX.

I checked the source files and they looked OK. apparently VC6 knows how to read CRLF on source files but not on projects.

Could you send me a zippped VC6 folder please : grieco@matrix.com.br

Hehe...I actually already have a copy of that on my website from helping someone else out with this before =)

Sent.

Btw: you probably are going to want to get WinCVS set up on VirtualPC so that you can stay up to date.
