Current SDK to be used with 1.7 - 1.8?

#1 I know that some people have had issues with the November DX release. I'm not sure about the 2008 SDK, though. I haven't tested it. Hopefully others can chime in.

#2 @James: I've had no problems with the 2008 SP1 SDK so far. I've also been using the November 2008 DirectX SDK. There's a shader related bug in it that might cause some problems, according to this thread that's patched in the March 2009 SDK. I've had a number of linker messages on the exact same 64 bit setup, but they were relatively easy to fix - hopefully it was just my environment. Oh yes, and some are Vista related.. a few functions got their Vista counterparts (usually an Ex suffix on the function will do).

Do you want to compile Torque on 32 or 64 bit? If you're aiming at 64, prepare yourself for hell... (I'm still struggling with doing just that, read more here.)

#3 I'm on a 64bit system but I'm compiling for 32bit.

yeah I read that thread that is way beyond my ability.

I was able to compile the stronghold solution with 0 errors and only 3 warnings which is about a third of what I remember it being.

I know that Stronghold only uses DirectX 8 though so maybe that has something to do with it. But it worked like a champ. I will look for the 2009 SDK I didn't know a newer one was out.

#4 I looked November 2008 is the latest.

#5 Yes, the March 2009 SDK is estimated to come out in.. March? :)
