Hi everyone.
I'm a computer science student and got a project to make a video game. I decided to use C++ and DarkGDK for that.
I installed VC++ 2008 Express, DX SDK 2007 and DarkGDK without problems, everything form the web page's download section.
I'm using a x64 win Vista Home Premium and got 258 linker errors while compiling any of the 3 wizard templates :S
I tried everything i found on this forum and googled on the net and removed 6 of these errors ... :/
The build log is attached. It looks like a problem with the directx libaries but i just cant figure out whats wrong.
Everything is linked and included in the options and every single libary file that is called by the linker is located in the lib directorys.
I really haven't got a single idea on what to do with this and would really apriciate some help science i have to finish the project in a week.
Thanks in forward.

That looks like the required DX library files are not referenced correctly. Are you sure you've added the correct include and library directories to the VS C++ additional directories list?

Yeah 100%
Even put all lib files of dx, vc and gdk in one dir and included it and the same thing...
Could it be because of vistas dx10, or because its x64 ... :S

@monotonic

Of course it's pointless. It's not floating point. Of course, you could put a decimal at the end of it and give it a point.

Did you add both the additional include and library directories, they need to be done separately, not just bundled together in the include directory.

Actually did you follow the installation notes to the word? I'm asking because that looks like what happens when one or more of the dependant libraries cannot be found i.e. VC doesn't know where to find them.

Yes i have. And i have followed the instuctions by word, written some in my life, i know what follow by word means
It's not a problem with the librarys and header files, its something with the dx i think but i have no idea what...
I dont have much time left now for the project so thx anyway, so i guess i'll let this one go...

That's true, however adding a decimal point would make it have a point and therefore wouldn't need to be said, hence I wouldn't have a sig . Besides how did you decipher my secret message, that means I'm gonna have to create a completely new way to send special messages to the Fornits.

Have you set -> Project->Properties->C++->Code Generatrion->Runtime Library = multithreaded.... not debug, not dll... If u compile in debug mode, the libs you are linking to are not debug libs, so will fail.

(unless you are using the latest gdk update, it includes a set of libs in a VS9debug folder, ive not tried them yet in a true debug so cant confirm they are debug libs or just something that got left behind during compile by tgc)

Basically, set your project to compile/link in release mode and it should find everything it needs.

If it ain't broke.... DONT FIX IT !!!

I can convert the binary to hex in my head, albeit slowly, then just looked it up in an ASCII chart.
