When i create a new game, and run it (before i add anything at all, so just using the default DarkGDK code) it comes up with this in the build:

1>------ Build started: Project: Dark GDK - 2D Game6, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------
1>Compiling...
1>Main.cpp
1>Linking...
1>LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'dxerr9.lib'
1>Build log was saved at "file://c:\Documents and Settings\Joel\My Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\Dark GDK - 2D Game6\Dark GDK - 2D Game6\Debug\BuildLog.htm"
1>Dark GDK - 2D Game6 - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)
========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========


How can i stop this from happening?

Looks like you have some error with your direct X installation, perhaps. Adding (DXSDK install path)\Lib\x86 (or x64 if you have 64bit OS) to your libraries.

The problem is that you probably installed a newer version of the DirectX SDK than DarkGDK supports. The error means that DarkGDK cant find that lib file which was renamed from dxerror9.lib to dxerror.lib in a newer SDK release. A fix would be to uninstall the current SDK you have installed then get the August 2007 DirectX SDK.

Basically what Erda and Serial said when you open the project up do this:

go to Tools->Options->Projects and Solutions->VC++Directories

Under the Show Directories for drop down menu go to libray files and then click the little folder and browse to the August 2007 SDK lib folder should look like this:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft DirectX SDK (August 2007)\Lib\x86
