Torque for Eclipse 3.1

by Holger · in Torque Game Engine · 07/25/2005 (8:22 am) · 8 replies

I am a newbie for Torque and for Eclipse (C++) so it would be very helpful for me
if somebody could explain for me (step for step) how to set up Eclipse to run with the torque "project".

I know that there is already TBE which I already downloaded and installed -

but it's Eclipse 3.0 and I am already using and need to use Eclispe 3.1 with Java.


thanks for all help!

Alrighty I need people to test this help tute so please head over to the link above and try it (zip file attached at the bottom of the thread). You should be able to install Torque anywhere and get it to compile with Eclipse if you follow the procedure I have provided.

@Juegen - have you tried this yet? Are you able to compile Torque in Eclipse now?

Andy,

till now I didn't try because TBE is Elicpse 3.0 - I need to use Eclipse 3.1 because of
some plugins which need the 3.1 version.
Any thread where it is explained how to build TBE manually?

Okay - I'll download the Eclipse 3.1 SDK - revise the tut and add any changes for the difference between 3.0 and 3.1 - but I don't think there will be any. Watch this space.

Well I tried this. I have TBE 0.6 installed already. I unpacked the Eclipse 3.1 update and pasted the files over my original install and I got these errors. Previously I had just unpacked the Eclipse3.1 files to it own folder and got the same error, that's why I was thinking it was just an update and tried pasting it into my 3.0 install

Can anyone tell me what's going on - or how to fix it? It wont run now. Maybe I installed it the wrong way - 3.0 worked before so all the Java stuff seems to be in place.

Andy,

could get it running with:
TBE 0.6
updated to Eclipse 3.1
updated to CDT 3.0 (the fresh released C/C++ Env. for Eclipse)

Compiled TGE 1.3 fine (Examples work)

Will try tomorrow to use your tutorial.
Actually it's all in their default directories which I don't like.
Would also like to compile 1.4 RC2
still a newbie to that......
