Problems with TBE

Hi, I've been having problems with the Torque Build Environment. I've read over all the posts in the Torque Build Environment Thread, but I haven't found a way to fix the errors, I've been getting, much less start working on Torque! These are the errors I get upon trying to rebuild the engine:

cPrecipitationmodifyStorm * In function 'void Torque line 0
winGL.cc Torque/engine/platformWin32 line 89
winGL.cc Torque/engine/platformWin32 line 90
winGL.cc Torque/engine/platformWin32 line 91
winGL.cc Torque/engine/platformWin32 line 92
winV2Video.cc Torque/engine/platformWin32 line 10

I've tried to use other free compilers, but they don't seem to work, and I'd really like to get this one to start working. Does anyone know a way to help with this?

Thanks.

I don't use TBE, but there is a compiled version of the 1.3 code available if you own the code. It comes with all the source files and a pre-compiled version you can jump right into. It's somewhere around the site :)

Those aren't actual errors. Those are Eclipse getting mixed up by the complex incude structure of Torque's code. As long as the exe is being generated in your example folder feel free to ignore those particular "errors".

Okay, that's cool to know that they aren't errors.

However, the TBE still won't run the TorqueDemo when I try to; it keeps coming up with an error of 'Failed to read "main.cs"'. Do you know how I could fix this?

Thanks again.

I don't know exactly how to do it in Eclipse (you'll need to poke around the options a bit) but the problem is that your exe is executing in the wrong directory. You need to find a "working directory" option or the equivalent and change it to point at your example folder. You could just run the exe directly from that folder.

Alright. Thank you, Matthew.

Sorry to bother you all again with this subject, but I tried redirecting the TorqueDemo.exe to run from the example folder, but it still can't read the main.cs file.

I'm sorry, but I am rather new at some of this (I know how to program, but I don't know much about setting up programs involving multiple files; I hope I was clear on what I meant there). What are some other things I can try? I am having some serious problems here.

Thanks again.

Agh. My apologies. I just got it to work after trying ONE more thing right after. >.<

Talk about timing. =P

Thanks for all of your help, everyone. :D
