I'm using the free version for Visual C++ 2008 version, but I had some problems. After installing Visual C++, Dark GDK and DirectX 9 I tried it out. It couldn't find the DarkGDK.h header. So I read the installation guide and had it install manually, and retried compilation of the simple program. I got the following errors and a warning:



Is there any way to fix this? I wasn't really sure how, I tried a couple things (which both didn't work and I had to return them back to the first, previous state). Here's all the code in the only file being used, main.cpp;



I've tried to include everything I can to help anyone else help me, so if you know the solution (or what I'm doing wrong) please say so

Try switching C++->Code Generation->Runtime library to Multithreaded

You should probably also install the wizards so that you can create new projects using those in future - locate the wizards folder in your GDK installation folder and copy it to C:\Documents and Settings\[USERNAME]\My Documents\Visual Studio 2008 - hopefully that'll work for you

C++->Code Generation->Runtime library to Multithreaded
I'm confused here, what exactly does this mean? I looked, but didn't find Code Generation on any of the menus O.O
As far the wizards, it actually implemented that just fine, but none of the auto-code-generators in VC++ 2008 are working for me. It just opens up a dialog box that says Automation *something* failed. I click okey, then another one that's empty pops up, and then nothing happens.

Well since no one responded, I tried to uninstall and reinstall VC++ and Dark GDK. Once I was finished, I got the exact same errors -.-
What should I do? What is the problem?

Ok, after some researching I found out what I needed indirectly, as in the thread I read what I needed in didn't specifically solve my particular problem, but it was helpful. It turns out that to get to where you told me to, IanM, I had to right click on the project in the project explorer (I think it's called that, I don't remember though) and select properties. Thanks for the help everything works fine at the moment

this helped, to some level. I use the same code as the original poster. When I commented out (//) the:
"while ( LoopGDK ( ) )"
the project would build.

About the reply about the wizard in the:
Quote: "You should probably also install the wizards so that you can create new projects using those in future - locate the wizards folder in your GDK installation folder and copy it to C:\Documents and Settings\[USERNAME]\My Documents\Visual Studio 2008 - hopefully that'll work for you"

the map is in this location, maybe the Vista version I use does not give Visual Studio access to this area? Or something else because when selecting new project in C++ 2008 the wizards do not appear as option to choose.

I hope this is clear and someone is able to elaborate on it.
