I spent a fair amount of time today trying to get Windows compiling the template - tried VSX2008 and VSX2010. Oddly, both templates appear to be completely identical.

Building it under 2010 fails because of the missing atls/atlsd libraries. I extracted these from a Windows DDK and set it up to link in - this didn't work either, unfortunately, due I think to type issues. When I tried it under 2008 or under 2010 with v90 set, the template wouldn't compile - HTOUCHINPUT and other undefined errors before it got near the linker. I spent a couple of hours tinkering with this but I couldn't escape one problem or the other - either it wouldn't compile or it wouldn't link.

I appreciate this is under development still but Tier 1 iOS and Android I did without much trouble (using the ADK and Eclipse not the online one).

Does anyone have any suggestions ? Or a working template ? Does anyone else use Tier 2 ? Tier 1 (BASIC) is a bit too limited for development, no modules, oop, libraries etc.

All help gratefully received !

I use Tier 2 with VS2008 Express no problem.

As far as the missing atls/atlsd libraries are concerned I have them ignored (see attached image).

If you still have problems you can email me or upload your project and I'll have a look at it.

What OS are you using and did you install from Steam because path names may be different?

What I'd like is a VS2013-friendly version of AGK2 (current AGKWindows.lib can't be linked because of version-mismatch). Anyone know if/when that's coming?

Yup, I had that issue too. TGC actually got me to rewrite the compiling guide for AGK2 for Windows and Android, and I gave instructions on fixing some common issues. They're not online yet, AFAIK, but for the moment you can refer to my thread.

If you have any issues after reading my thread, don't hesitate to ask me about it

Thanks - I finally got it fixed last night I think the problem was a confusion between the vcproj and vcxproj files. Builds fine on VSX2010.

Glad you got it working!

To be honest, I haven't been able to build on VS2010 either, but you may have just solved it for me!

Using Visual Studio has been a disaster from the start. Every update screws the projects. It's not necessarily TGC's fault, but had they chosen to switch to a less proprietary compile like GNU C++ a long time ago this kind of nightmare (and various others, like porting to other languages) would have been a lot easier all round.

-- Jim - When is there going to be a release?

... I would never have used Tier 2. I love Visual Studio! Sure, it's horrific as a new user, but as a fairly experienced programmer it's great! Plus it's one of fastest and most reliable C++ compilers out there! In all honesty I would have been horrified if they'd switched away from VS. And I don't even like M$.
