I was working with the Dark Invaders tutorial project, and I found that I could not compile the project. I used to get a lot more errors until I followed the advice in : http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=140640&b=22

Any help? They all seem to be multiplayer.lib related problems. I do not think that it is an x64 problem because I used to be able to compile the Dark Invaders project. I was playing around with DarkGDK and I compiled the Dark Invaders project once before. Then I went to work on a project in Code::Blocks IDE. When I went back to learn about DarkGDK Dark Invaders could no longer compile. I did not change anything to my system, or modified any Code::Blocks IDE configurations.

Cheers,

Well, with a little experimenting, I found out that it was due to the installation of another DirectX SDK I was using for the another project. So if any of you others have this problem, it might be because you have another SDK installed that isn't the August 2007 9.0c version.
