Torque question

I'm seriously thinking about buying the torque engine within a few months. the c++ compilers that i have are devc++ and microsoft visual c++ express (they're both free). is there any tutorial that tells you how to set up the torque engine with either of those compilers?

I highly doubt that was the issue. I've compiled much larger projects in Dev-Cpp myself like OGRE and ReactOS. It's probably that nobody has really tried it since we have TBE/Eclipse all set to go. I still use Dev-Cpp to edit my scripts though! If you plan to go cross platform eventually, you may want to stick to Eclipse or try Code::Blocks. That way when you go to compile on say Mac, you'll already be familiar with that IDE.

If you can convince DevC++ to build Torque we would love to hear about it. Over the last four years a number of very knowledgable DevC++ users have tried and failed but it is certainly possible they were missing something. If you can get a working DevC++ project send it my way and I will make sure it gets included in the SDK.

EDIT:
Oops. That sentence has a major problem (fixed in italics so that Matt's comment makes sense). I meant that Dev-C++'s IDE had a horrible problem with huge projects.
I know XCode's works great. I've been using it happily for quite a long time.

I strongly prefer XCode to Eclipse on the Mac. But from what I remember, the Dev-C++ IDE had a horrible problem with large projects, not just TGE related ones. This was well before TBE was released, though. MinGW itself worked fine. But the IDE choked. It has been a long time since I even looked at it as an issue. Two years at least.EDIT:

XCode handles Torque just fine and has a nice project for it in the SDK.

Matt I have the project but it's for T2D 1.0.2. It needs TBE's Mingw and precompiled ASM .objs in order to build.
Should I send it over?

Well I just built T2D with Dev-C++. There were some issues but it works. One problem is the .ASM files. I don't think it can build them so I cheated and used some that were precompiled. Also unfortunately it needs the Mingw files from Torque Build Environment. I was able to add everything in, even the libs. So I'm not sure what the "large project" problem is but T2D isn't affected by it. I still think anything is better than Dev-C++ for building Torque, but to each his own ;)Matt I have the project but it's for T2D 1.0.2.
