VS2005 Compiles with Warning

by Scott Warren · in Torque Game Engine · 03/05/2008 (7:05 pm) · 0 replies

After some struggle with Visual C++ 2005 in the first Installation with 3 errors about cmd.exe, I decided to install Visual C++ 2005 Express again.

Seems that after reading the posts here that are relevant to my same errors, that the only solution that works for this particular error is a reinstallation.

However, clean builds are supposed to be Clean.. and i have zero tolerance for Warnings let alone Errors.
I am the sort of person that wants to Polish as I go, so when I'm done with a job then i am really done.
Given that Torque Game Engine did finally compile for me, my issue is with this Warning message:

Torque Demo : warning PRJ0029 : The 'Outputs' property for the project-level custom build step is not set. The custom build step will be skipped.

Online help describes 3 ways to resolve it:

// extracted from the online Help section

Error Message
The 'Outputs' property for the project-level custom build step is not set. The custom build step will be skipped.


A custom build step was not executed because no output was specified.

To resolve this error, do one the following:

Exclude the custom build step from the build.

Add an output.

Delete the contents of the custom build step's command.

// End of the online Help post

Now since im new to this C++ in general, I come to you Developers that use Visual C++ 2005 Express to help me resolve this warning message.

I went to Torque Demo -> Project -> Properties and in the left of the window under
[+] Configuration Properties
.
.
[-] Custom Build Setup
General <-- I clicked here

The 4 choices are:

Command Line
Description Performing Custom Build Step
Outputs
Additional Dependancies

This above, is what I see in that window.

I would like help to eliminate this warning message.. meaning.. Fixed.. not masked over prevent seeing it and not amnesia to forget it exists.. just a completely clean Build without Error or Warnings.

Torque Demo : warning PRJ0029 : The 'Outputs' property for the project-level custom build step is not set. The custom build step will be skipped.

If any developer here is fluent with this Visual C++ 2005 Express IDE and knows how to truly fix this, please respond here or kindly post an email or even both.

p.s. Excuse me in advance for being precise about the answer i am looking for, It's habit now since being flamed in other forums with simple remarks like RTFM, or other lame and unhelpful responses from Forum Stalkers who's entire life existance seems to depend on abundant non-helpful posts.
