Hello,
I've got this error when I try to compile:

fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'dxerr9.lib'

I have set everything but the only difference is that I have Microsoft DirectX SDK (August 2009) instead of 2007.. Is this the cause of the problem or it's a linking problem?

Please help me.

Thx
I was wondering if there was another solution than installing the Microsoft DirectX SDK 2007. But, it seems to be the only solution.
thanks again and I will work more on my English language

Go to Program Files Directory on C:
Find MicroSoft DirectX SDK directory
Find the LIB Directory
find the 'dxerr.lib' file and copy it as 'dxerr9.lib'

works

If you want to use a newer version of Directx, you need to be willing to sacrifice the multiplayer networking aspect of DarkGDK. It's based on DirectPlay, which was deprecated and was left out of the newer versions.

Open your DarkGDK directory and go into Lib->vs9 and rename Multiplayer.lib to Multiplayer_old.lib or something like that.

I attached a dummy Multiplayer.lib (one that has everything defined, but empty) because I couldn't find the thread about it.

Just put the attached lib into the folder, and you should be able to use August 2009.

PS: Your English is great.
