strugglling to compile source code

i am trying to compile the source code, but i am running into trouble compiling the .sln, it keeps outputting "cant find gameframe.dll", i put gmxgen.exe and gmlcppextfuncs.exe in C:\HaxeToolkit\haxe, and sfgml and sfhx are installed. i cant think of any solution for this. im using vs2019, vs2019 build tools are also installed.

If there is no DLL, something about the DLL build failed - care to post your Output from Visual Studio?

copied from output to a txt file to a screenshot

Apparently the script is allergic to paths with spaces in them - replace that “gameframe directoryquesionmark” by “gameframe-directoryquesionmark” and it should be fine

folder was renamed, outputs this when compiling release 86

Developer

That’s okay, you cannot “run” a DLL. Now compile for x64 too and it should be getting copied to the GameMaker project folder

Developer

You still cannot Run (F5) a DLL project, but you can Build it (F8).

f8 does nothing

Developer

You can also use menu:Build ➜ Build Solution

it seems its built correctly and the gameframe_23 project works successfully, thanks!
