How do I get torgue to work with Dev C ++

by Steven B · in Technical Issues · 11/15/2004 (11:53 am) · 2 replies

I have dev c ++ and can't get torgue to work. Any ideas on how to get it to work. Before I bought torgue the website said you only need a c++ compiler. After I bought it and looked at the get started section the story changed to you need Visual C ++ 7.1 for windows or 6.0 and they don't support other compilers, so now I have no idea on how to use it with Dev C ++ and really can't afford to spend another 110 for VSC++. Any Ideas Thanks.

This gets asked a lot on these forums! Search for MingW and you'll find information on compiling with MingW (the compiler that comes with Dev-C++) You can't compile Torque from within Dev-C++ mor create a full project, you can use it to edit individual files though and compile with msys and MingW...

On the product sales page in requirements:

Quote:
Pentium II 300, 64 MB RAM
OpenGL or DirectX Compatible 3D Graphics Accelerator, DirectX compatible Soundcard
Supported Compilers: Microsoft VC++ 6.0 and above. Others with community support.

If you know what you are doing, you can use free compilers. MingW and GCC work. Dev C++ has had a lot of problems.
