1)Install MinGW, then MSYS (VERY IMPORTANT!!!)
2)Start up MSYS
3)Type in 
cd /c/torque
(Or whatever directory you need, just keep the 'cd' part)
4)Type in 
gcc -v
5)Type in 
make -f mk/configure.mk OS=WIN32 COMPILER=GCC3 BUILD=RELEASE
6)Type in 
make clean
7)Wait until things stop happening
8)When all halts, type in 
make

Hope I could be of some help to you.

Hm, it probably is, but it doesn't seem to regognize the gcc -c command.

In step 5... try typing in

make -f mk/configure.mk OS=WIN32 COMPILER=GCC3 BUILD=DEBUG

You do know that it is all case sensitive right???

Oh hello Ari, I see this post got resurected. I wondered what happened to the old one before maybe I can still help you.

First go to control panel and if you are in win xp make sure it is in classic view not category view.

Double click on system then click the advanced tab.

Next click the enviormental varibles button in the bottom right corner.

In the system varibles box find the Path entry between OS and PATHEXT then click edit.

In the varible value box add ";C:\MinGW\bin" no quotes to the end.

Reboot and hopefully everything should work.

This is what I did before to get mine to work hopefully it should help you keep in mind these instructions are for win xp but should be similar in other versions.

Good luck I am trying to frequent the forums at least once a day so I'll keep an eye on the thread to try to provide you some help if needed. Just remember I got Torque right about the same time you did so we are getting through this together.
