How to compile 4.1 to make it work?

by ysun · in Torque Game Engine Advanced · 11/16/2006 (6:21 pm) · 6 replies

Hello, I have downloaded the TSE-MS4.1 yesterday and obviously there is no .exe files. I know I need to compile it, but start from which file? I have Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition installed.

Thank you.

also there is an error in 4.1 that won't compile ... so see this thread to fix that.

Hello,

I have compiled, at last it saids " Unable to start program 'g:\TSE\example\TSE.exe' ".

It also saids "Build log was saved at "file://g:\TSE\engine\out.vc8.win32.release\BuildLog.htm"
Torque Shader Engine - 40 error(s), 563 warning(s)
========== Build: 5 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========" in the output window.

Does anyone know why?

Thank you.

Looks like your build failed, need to post more of the log so we can see what the errors are.

The tutorial saids To compile TSE using MS Visual Studio 2005 Express you will need to install the Windows platform SDK - follow the link from within Visual Studio's "Start Page" for "Install PSDK", but I didn't find Install PSDK in the Start Page, so I didn't install PSDK, the DirectX SDK is the release in October 2006.

Hello,

I have installed the PSDK. But it still can not be seccessful compiled.

When I click compile button with the option Release, there is a window pop up, it saids:

These projects are out of date:

zlib - Release Win32
ljpeg - Release Win32
lpng - Release Win32
lungif - Release Win32
libqslim - Release Win32
Torque Shader Engine - Release Win32

Would you like to build them?

I select Yes and it start compliing. Finally it saids: " Unable to start program 'g:\TSE_MS4_1\example\TSE.exe' "

The buildlog is here: http://www.fpschina.com/buildlog.htm

Does anyone know why? Thank you.
