Okay, so apparently the December release of the Directx SDK doesn't friggin' work with VS6, and I need the October one. Does anybody know where I can find it?

Its on the Microsoft site somewhere, but youll have to search for it. They have a huge listing of DirectX downloads somewhere. And you can get much older versions of DirectX than the October release. But I am not going to search for you.

You have to install the DirectX Update 2004 (December/October) Extra's SDK. I know it is a pain but they have the replacement .lib for DirectX 9.0c for Visual C++ 6.0

I've personally not actually had it compiling correctly yet, but this said I tried for like 2minutes before I thought 'sod this', and reopened C++ 2005 heh

might be an idea investing in C++ 2003, you can get quite a cheap deal currently.

The December one does work with VS6 as long as you use the extras pack.

Ok... tried the extras pack, still not working. It can't find "d3dx8.lib"

Have you setup the correct paths for both the libraries and headers ?
I dont have to my VS6 system at the mo - so I cant show you want it should be. However for VS .Net (which for this purpose should be close enough), see the pictures

Ah! Workage. Thanks for your help.
