Problem running T2D after building it
by Manuel F. Lara · in Torque Game Builder · 06/16/2006 (1:16 am) · 12 replies
I compiled T2D in debug mode using VC 2005 Express, but after building it, I try to run it and it crashes:
consoleInternal.cc : 767 (" for(Entry *walk = mEntryList; walk; walk = walk->mNext)")
Stack Trace:

I must say I had to make some changes in the code in order to get it to compile. First, the compiler said 'strcpy' didn't exist (?), so I changed all those to use dStrncpy.
Then at T2D SDK.rc it didn't find the "mfc/afxres.h" file. In another thread I've seen the guy solved it by installing Platform SDK, but I already have it (although a bit old). So I commented that line. But then a couple of problems more occured in this file so I just commented everything but the 31th line:
IDI_ICON1 ICON DISCARDABLE "t2d.ico"
Since I remembered that in an old game of mine I only needed that line to make the icon appear.
Have I broken something? It's just an X-Files kind of problem, here? Any other ideas?
EDIT: I'm trying to build RC1, as I'm having some problems with RC3 and I prefer to stick to RC1 while final is not here yet.

Same here... I only use VC 2003.

Manuel, instead you can install GCC-MinGW for Windows and use the "make" compiler. I have done that on windows before to build Torque but now I have VC 2003.

The mfc/afxres problem can be solved by replacing that with windows.h. RC3 has this change in it.

I've been dev'ing TGB on VC Express for the last 6 months and I'm fairly sure we have several users using it without problems. You definitely are having some configuration issues if 'strcpy' wasn't found. Try reinstalling Visual Studio.The mfc/afxres problem can be solved by replacing that with windows.h. RC3 has this change in it.

Seems like the assert is produced when trying to evaluatef the string ""$dbgVersion = 2;". Sounds very weird to me why this could be happening, as I'm not an expert in the Torque Platform at all. Any ideas?

I've tried building and running RC3. It compiles successfully after replacing all 'strcpy' occurences to 'strcpy_s' (the more secure version included in VS 2005). But when I try to run it, I get a Torque fatal DebugError:"Invalid evaluator state - trying to set null variable".

'strcpy' ?
06/20/2006 (6:06 am)
It compiles successfully without any changes to source code.(VS 2005 Prof.) Do you really need to replace 'strcpy' ?
#7
06/20/2006 (6:49 am)
I really need to, it doesn't find it. I'll try installing the latest Platform SDK, maybe TGB needs a newer version than the one I have.
#8
06/20/2006 (7:35 am)
Well, I've downloaded TGB RC3, run "engine/compilers/VisualStudio 2005/T2D SDK.sln" file and compile it. Nothing more. So try it(I mean PSDK).
#9
06/22/2006 (1:05 am)
I tried with the latest Platform SDK, but no luck, so I'll try reinstalling VS 2005. I really hope this thing runs once I get to compile it successfully without any changes!

Are the directories that contain the Platform SDK include and library files first in the list of directories vs05 should search for *.h/*.lib files?

I've had no glitches compiling with vs2005 Express: As Igor, just opened up the *.sln file and hit "compile".Are the directories that contain the Platform SDK include and library files first in the list of directories vs05 should search for *.h/*.lib files?

Same with VS6 and with VS-2005 Express it compiles for me out of the box with no problems.

Ok, so with a fresh install of VS 2005 Express everything works, so I probably had a modified string.h header or something. Thanks everybody :)
