| Hi everyone :) I would like to know if there is a way to make monkey work with visual studio 2012 ? I reinstalled my PC and I forgot to install vs 2010 before 2012... Thank you in advance ^^ |
| ||
| i don't know if this will work: try loading up the base target project file under monkey/targets/glfw/vc2010/MonkeyGame and see if you can load that file up in VS2012 and re-save over (keep a backup handy) the old one. essentially you would be converting the old VS project file format to the new one. make sure to delete old build folders afterwards. |

| There a project called JungleGUI which use Visual Studio like IDE with intellisense. You might be interested. http://www.jungleide.com/ its awesome! |
| ||
| the problem is not the gui or IDE, but the transcode. Can't compil with VS2012 (GLFW) :( |
| ||
| Why don't you install VS2010?? also, you can use MinGW for GLFW, there's a flag for this. Anyway, get 2010 from here: http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/eng/downloads#d-2010-express |

| I have MinGW :) I prefer because Microsoft advise to install first Vs 2010 and after vs 2012 to avoid conflict. I use vs 2012 for some projects and the windows phone 8 SDK, but I forgot to install 2010 version before. On an another PC I had this problem and when I installed vs 2010 all my Ide didn't work anymore... So, if I can avoid to install vs 2010 now that's cool. I have to check how to configure Monkey GWLF to make it work with MinGW. I believed that MinGW was only for STDCPP (command line utilities) ? I saw on the forum a flag to add in the config file mais it seems that monkey ignores it. How do I have to setup to make monkey compil GWLF target with MinGW ? |

| did you try converting the MonkeyGame.sln file to VS2012? you can use mingw by putting this at the top of your file: #GLFW_USE_MINGW=True |
| ||
| For the MonkeyGame.sln you mean one that is in the targets folder of Monkey ? I'm going to try the flag. |

| last time i installed vs2010 + vs2012 (c#,c++,vb,phone) over 5 hours with endless upgrade and patch orgy tip: never install from ISO! use online installer |
| ||
| The last time I try to install both, I had a lot of problem, I always use live installer. The fact is that my phone 8 SDK didn't work anymore and I have some trouble to compile c++ on vs 2012. I tried to uninstall and reinstall but in the right way (2010 first and 2012 after) but that was too late...didn't work and I had to reinstall windows to make my 2012 projects work again. I tried to convert the 2010 project in the "targets" folder to 2012 but that doesn't work. That's why I try to make it work with MinGW :) I'm going to try to configure this and I will say to you if it works (with minGW). |
| ||
| That's pretty poor if you have to install an older version of a product before you can install the newer version. Is this VS 2012 marketed as a full product or an upgrade? |
| ||
| I tried to convert the 2010 project in the "targets" folder to 2012 but that doesn't work. Ok, that is odd (also make sure to delete .build folder). I think Mr. Sibly may need to get involved in this one. |
| ||
| VS2010 will target WP7.5 and Xbox. VS2012 will target WP8 and W8. |
| ||
| They definitely will live side by side, but I don't think I have ever tried to install the older version later. I guess it is possible the older version could over write some dependencies that the newer version used. |
| ||
| Thank you all for your answers ! Monkey works now with MinGW like a charm :) Thank you ! For the dependencies with vs 2012 it's possible :) but if it works with MinGW that's perfect no? :p |
| ||
| Is there any difference in game performance between VisualStudio and MinGW? Because if MinGW would have no disadvantage, it would be much more comfortable to handle.... At the moment I only write my Android and HTML5 game with monkey. For Windows and Mac I still use the BlitzMax. Is there any difference in game performance between Monky and BlitzMax? |
