Hello everyone,

I'm new to DarkGDK and these forums.
I've installed Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition on my PC.
I then installed Microsoft DirectX SDK August 2007.
And lastly, I installed DarkGDK on my computer.

It seemed as if everything was fine, until I tried to make a game. I went by the tutorials, started a new Game Project, and Debug+Run it, only to find an error. So I look all over to fix it, I do, then I get more errors, fix those and get more errors.

These are the errors I currently have


The last thing I did was place all the Lib and Include files in the Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition folders for Lib and Include. And now I get all these errors.

Can someone please help me out here. I would really wish to start learning how to make games, but I can't due to these errors.

I'll uninstall everything including C++ 2008, and reinstall it all back tomorrow and start from scratch. So someone, anyone, please help me out.

Thank you,
--Leon Blade

Do a search on liker errors. Looks like for whatever reason your project/vs2008 isn't finding the DarkGDK stuff correctly.. specifically the LIBs.

I really have no clue about what is going on, but I think there might be some sort of install error. I think you are right in having to unisntall everything and reinstall it.

If you still have the same errors-- I really can't help you there.

Problem Solved!

I had errors, like I said, here's all of them.

I got a DarkGDK header error.
So I added the DarkGDK Includes path to my VC++ Directories.

Then I got a DirectX header error.
So I added the DirectX Includes path to my VC++ Directories.

Then I got DarkGDK Lib error.
So I added the DarkGDK Lib path to my VC++ Directories.

Then I got a DirectX Lib error
So I added the DirectX Lib path for x86 to my VC++ Directories.

If you too have problems, here is what I did.

Start up your Project and go to Options(Tools > Options)
Then click the plus next to Projects and Solutions to expand it.
Then click on V++ Directories.

Now on the right, you will see "Show directories for".
Select Includes and add two new paths, the default paths are as follows:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft DirectX SDK (August 2007)\Include" and "C:\Program Files\The Game Creators\Dark GDK\Include"

Now select Library for the "Show directories for".
And add three new paths, here are the default directories:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft DirectX SDK (August 2007)\Lib\x86"
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft DirectX SDK (August 2007)\Lib\x64" and
"C:\Program Files\The Game Creators\Dark GDK\Lib\vs9"

Now if you Compile with no errors, your set! Thanks for your responces jason p sage and programming maniac.

I hope that this helps people!
