Introduction

Hi, I've noticed that a few users were struggling to use DarkGDK with Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 so I set about researching the problem. Thanks to Mikes advice and demonstrations, I've put together a PDF file detailing step by step how to setup the dependencies and library's needed to get DarkGDK compiling. It does produce a host of scary errors, but none of them leave to failures to compile, which means the programs themselves work without any problems.

As is my usual style I've also put together a tutorial video which you can see at the top of this post.

Download PDF instructions!

For those of you who prefer the written version you can download it directly from my website.

www.dcforeman.co.uk

Just enter the site, and click on the pendrive below the netbook. The flash version of the site is more fun I think! But the HTML will work just as well.

Yay! No one cares! lol, nevermind. I won't worry about getting those project files up.

Thanks for this Daniel. I've been debating with myself (yes I talk to myself ) for the last couple of weeks as to whether to download and install DarkGDK as I do have VS2010 C++ express so I may try it in a couple of days when I get the time. As I'm new to the c++ world (still learning how to use pointers) this guide will be of great help. Thanks again Daniel.

I think the link to the Dx sdk Aug 2007 in the .pdf is broken, I get a file not found type error. I'm pretty sure I'll be able to find it on the Microsoft website but I just thought I should let you know.

This is a great resource, I had alot of difficulty setting GDK up with VS2010 express. I managed to get it working the day you posted this

This will be useful to alot of people in the future, thanks Daniel.

Sorry, Daniel.

I do care, honest! I looked at your post within a few minutes of you putting it here and I revisited a couple of times afterwards to see the updates.

I didn't comment because I had nothing to add. Your tutorial and then your video said it all, I thought.

I did have GDK working with VS2010 already, though. I hadn't realised it was such an issue generally.

Thank you for your excellent efforts! Much appreciated.

PS How's your cat? My old girl (Suzy) used to sit and purr whenever I played any of your tutorials in which your moggy starred.

Which version of the directx sdk did you use?

The very latest version, but I took some of the withdrawn stuff from the March 2007 version and combined the two. I may have done some other adjustments (not at my programming desk at the moment).

Thanks, I once had GDK running with VS2010, but I couldn't get a bunch of plug-ins working, so I went back to VS2008.

And I was a bit scared off by 37 "warnings"



I don't think the GDK forum is as active as it once was
Don't sweat it, I sure many people are using this, and will use this.

EDIT:

Your book "Depths Awakening" looks very interesting, I am in need of a good book

Wow, I don't think I have the skill level to do that .

Just watched the entire video (didn't before because my internet usage was nearly used up) it's very well made. My favourite line is "and squiggly bracket as I call them, there's probably a better name for them but I don't care" ahaha

Hello

I have watched the whole video over and over again and read the Pdf many times but I cant make it work!!!! *angryface*

I do have C++ 2010, and i have compiled a simple program
I do have DirectX sdk 2007
I have installed DarkGDK, not only the msi file but actually the exe as well.
I have updated DarkGDK to the latest.

I think that I have followed the instructions perfectly, but I'm not sure (ofcourse, as it doesn't work)

I'm using windows 7 64 bit.

The error message that I get is something like "Couldn't find "DarkGDK.h""

Can you please upload the project files so that I can try out something that I know should work?
Talking over skype would probably also help

Why isn't there a tool that sets this up for you?

Btw; I am SO angry right now that I want to uninstall everything and go back to DarkBASIC pro, which works!

After 3 hours of fiddling around with the paths I got it working! It was my fault for making mistakes though.

@Kaikallon: did you make sure that the paths were all on one line? In the pdf copy all of the paths into notepad, make them each on one line and then copy them into their relevant positions in VS.

If that still doesn't work, you may have to individually locate the include/lib folders yourself. I would upload a project for you but I'm using 32 bit, sorry and good luck

You just need to add the path of your GDK install to your include list. Go to "Project" on the top menu bar of VC++ and select "Properties", A window should pop up. In that window on the left side click "C/C++" and go a little to the right where it says "Additional Include Directories" Click on that and then on the liitle button with the "..." on the right side of it, another window should pop up. In the window, press the folder icon near the top right corner. Once again, press the little "..." button a little below the folder icon and navigate to "C:\Program Files\The Game Creators\Dark GDK\Include" (if your system is 32 bit) or ""C:\Program Files (x86)\The Game Creators\Dark GDK\Include" (if your system is 64 bit). Click "ok" and you should be good. (You may also have to do this for DirectX.)

Sorry if the instructions aren't to clear, it's 3 AM

Awesome video mate, very much appreciated.

It all seems to work fine however i get these warnings:



I can see that this is just because it is expecting a VC6 version of a file however when debugging i would really rather not have a heap of extra warnings i have to sift through just to find the ones i need to ignore.

So is there anything i can do to get rid of these errors without altering how debugging or anything else works?

Those are warnings, so your application should work fine if you ignore them. When I used Visual C++ 2010 I got those same errors, but I just ignored them and everything was fine.

oh yeah i get that they are fine to ignore however anytime i have legitimate errors or warnings that i should take note of i have to sift through all of these and just wondered if anyone has a way to filter them out or something? idk.

Also i just descovered that, although with warning debug mode works fine, however if i build a release version it fails and seems to have problems with not having a main() function i beleive but i thought DarkGDK was made to work like this?

I get these errors, sorry for large dump:

do you have to set up the include, etc for every new project created?

you only need to setup the last lib's dir's, the part not under either Debug or Release... bump on my problem, I want to be able to compile a release!

@Flexicat: I think your need to change your project from Multi-Threaded Debug (/MTd) to Multi-Threade (/MT). To do this go to the very top menu bar, click "Project", in the bottom of that menu click the "Properties" button. A menu should pop up. On the left Click "C/C++" (You may have to click the arrow next to it). And below "C/C++" Click "Code Generation". Now to the right there should be a little rectangle that says "Runtime Libbary". Click it and chang it to "Multi-threaded (/MT)". Now compile in Release mode and it should hopefully work.

thanks MR, however that only fixes all of the "already defined" errors all of the stuff like "error LNK2038: mismatch detected for '_ITERATOR_DEBUG_LEVEL'" is sill coming up and... well under that exact field you said to change my default is MD for release and MDd for debug but I am making an EXE and it always has been an exe and it works in debug mode so how can that be?

bump for all of my issues that cant be fixed with tissues...

Seriously, there is no way to compile release versions guys?

Here is my solution which you can try as an alternative to Daniels

How to get DarkGDK running under VS2010 and older directX samples.

The best solution I have found is to splice together DirectXAug07 and DirectXJune10 this solution builds with minimal errors

and warnings.

Download DirectX SDK for AUG 2007 and DirectX SDK For June 2010

To Get Blitz Terrain Plugin / older DirectX Samples And DarkGDK Files to compile create two directories called
Myinclude and MyLib

To the MyInclude directory add these files

Note you will have to create a MyLibDebug directory to include the debug versions of the DLLs

IN VS2010 Right click on each project and select properties.

Select VC++ Directories from left list box

Add myInclude directory to the include path
Add myLib directory to the lib path

for debug target include MyLibDebug instead of myLib

Create a copy of all your source directories to use with VS2010 as when VS2010 upgrades your projects you won't be able to

use them again in VS2008.

Clean all solutions before rebuilding otherwise compilation may fall over.

Rebuilding the projects and run!

Good Luck ( Jack Taylor )

Splicing together 2 DirectX versions probaly isn't a good idae. I use VC++ 2010 with only 6 meaningless warnings, so I just ignore them and everything still works great.

The 'ITERATOR_DEBUG_LEVEL' error is something I encountered while using DGDK, a fair few months ago. I think it had something to do with utilizing libraries that were compiled in Debug mode instead of Release mode libraries. I've racked my brains, but I just can't remember the exact fix I used.

According to this link it seems to have something to do with the STL.

Just want to say thank you Daniel. I failed to download VS 2008 and thought I could never get this to work.

Thanks a lot.

Wow! Thanks for the video i've always had issue with trying to set it up properly and given up on many projects because i'm too lazy to solve the problems.

this solved my problems, thanks you very much, your a legend. Now to continue on some old projects
