Torque + VS2005Express = X(?

by Okashira · in Torque Game Engine · 08/21/2006 (1:16 pm) · 3 replies

I will be purchasing Torque Game Engine soon, but was wondering something - Will Visual Studio 2005 Express Edition compile the source for TGE?

The reason I am asking is because recently I switched to it from Visual C++ 6.0 and have tried to compile some of my non-Torque C++ programs, but I get several errors about how some commands had changed in VS2003, making it impossible to compile my C++ program without alot of pain.

So, will I experience the same thing for TGE? If so, does anyone have any suggestions for some cheap(if not free) C++ compilers compatible with TGE(recently I spent most of my budget on some other tools :D )?

Thanks,
Okashira

Yes for sure, Visual Studio 2005 express will compile the TGE.
The instructions are outlined at the Torque Development Network.
Ive used them myself and compile regularly.

VS 2k5 Express compiles TGE just fine. I was using it for a while before I got my copy of Standard Edition. In my opinion VS 2k5 Express is the best free compiler you can get.
