Newbie problem about running the program.
  • SpringareSpringare August 2011
    Hi, it's been a few years since I programmed and was thinking about trying to fool around a bit in the HGE engine again but notice I forgot most of the basic start up things.

    I use Microsoft Studio 2010 Ultimate, I downloaded the latest hge version some guy here put up pre-compiled and with everything redirected and included to save time for ppl trying to figure out how ot get it to work on 2010.

    I tried the build on the main site but had problem getting the compile to work since it didn't find all includes etc.

    The compile works now in the version I downloaded from the forum but when I try to run the debug it says it can not find the "hge.dll" in the debug folder. So I copied it from the main folder into the debug, now I get that it can't find "hged.dll" in the debug folder and it won't be fixed by copying it from the main folder into the debug as it did with "hge.dll"

    Any idea what I might have missed? And on a side note, might be related tho. I do not get an .exe file in the debug folder :S

    Been stuck whit this problem for 2 days now and would love it if anyone might have an idea how to fix it.

    Best regards.

    First, unless you are making changes to HGE itself, there is no reason to build HGE yourself. Just use the prebuilt libs/dlls included in the download.

    See this post for how to set up Visual Studio 2010 (the instructions refer to 2010 Express, but should be the same for Ultimate).

    If everything is done correctly, it shouldn't be looking for hged.dll at all.

    Hi thanks for the remainder. I redid everything now and used VS 2008 instead since it feel simpler.

    When I do the first tutorial to see is everything works now I can compile but it won't start since it still wants the hge.dll in the debug folder.

    Is it possible to do some settings so it automatically adds the hde.dll to the debug folder?

    If you put hge.dll in a directory that is included in your PATH, then you don't need to put it in the directory with your exe.
