VC 2005 compiler setup
by Charlie Higdon · in Torque Game Engine · 01/14/2009 (8:52 pm) · 4 replies
Been digging through tons of old posts, searching with "compiler" "compiler setup" , etc.
I cannot find the friggin setup guide I used before. My hard drive died recently, and although I had my torque files and vc2005, the sdk install, and all that backed up. I did not have the guide to compiler setup for use with torque saved.
I guess I didn't forsee mad website chaos. /frown.
I have something in my favorites, but it's on the TDN.
Could anyone help me out in getting the compiler up, maybe someone has the page archived or saved?

Note: I'm using TGE 1.5.2 and VC 2008 Express here.
1. Find the Torque SDK.sln file in the Torque/TGE_1_5_2/VS2005 folder.
2. Double-click it and VC 05/08 will open. Note: 2008 needed to convert the solution, it will do so with a few warnings but all is ok.
3. In the Solution Explorer pane right-click the Torque Demo project and select properties.
That will open up the Torque Demo Property Pages. You'll be looking for the General Properties.
4. From there you change the "Output Directory" to wherever your "example" folder is.
Back in the main window
5. Choose compile type: Debug/Release/etc
6. Build.
Simple and easy.

Hated to ask a question that'd been asked like a million times before, couldn't find that guide anywhere and couldn't remember how to do it.
Thanks for the help.

After some digging, and TDN being put back up so I could see the guide, I noticed that debug working directory and release working directory need to be set to "../example".
Now I have one last problem, does anyone know why torquedemo_DEBUG.exe would be getting rebuilt and updated, but not torquedemo.exe. It's not being updated.

I was able to get it setup and built. I'd been having trouble with changes not being made when i rebuild.After some digging, and TDN being put back up so I could see the guide, I noticed that debug working directory and release working directory need to be set to "../example".
