System specs:
Microsoft Windows XP SP1
(c: )40GB Hard Drive and (g: )120GB External Hard Drive (External is where it is installed)
Direct X version: 9.0c SDK
Visual Studio .NET 2003 Academic
Dark Game SDK (first release)

Problem:
I can't compile any of the examples for the Dark Game SDK with C++. I have all the library and header files (or at least I think all them) declared in the options>projects>VC++ Directories section.

Here is the output when I tried to build the solution:


I do not know much about C++, but I was planning on starting with the Dark Game SDK. If someone could please help me, it would be much appreciative. I did briefly look at the various other threads, but none of them helped.

Thanks,
1tg46

If you need more information I would be glad to give

I had trouble, too.

If you're compiling a DEBUG config, be sure to set your working directory to be where your executable is (under properties and debug). I found I also needed to exclude the specific library libc.lib du to a conflict. Rest assured it CAN work under .NET 2003.

If all else fails, create a new empty Win32 project and paste in code.

The December one works fine with VS6 only if you download the enhancement pack.
However, it appears that are your using VS .Net 2003 you just need the latest version of the DirectX SDK, and possibly modify your library and header paths so that the DX system is reference before the DarkSDK one.
In addition, it will only work with Win32 projects (not MFC and certainly not .Net).

If you want to send me your project, I'll have a look at it for you.

It is the exact same project that was sent with all the Dark Game SDK's. It is the sample for Visual Studio 7. I have not edited any of the code (except for adding that cpp file that IanM suggested). And I have not edited the code because of two reasons:

1) The project won't compile correctly
2) I hardly know any c++

Do you have :

#define INITGUID
#include <dxdiag.h>

before the

#include "DarkSDK"

?

That's what I have in the extra included .cpp file. It only needs to be done once in your code somewhere to affect the whole project.

I think, the problem is in

"unresolved external _CLSID_DxDiagProvider _IID_IDxDiagProvider"

What are these two variables ? It seems, they are missed from one of
Microsoft DirectX SDK libralaries, but from which library exactly ?
Is there any way to patch Microsoft SDK or Dark Game SDK
to avoid this problem ?

@deckard
This is the exact problem I had.
You need to download the "dxsdk_sum2004_extras.exe" and copy the "d3dx9.lib" into your directx libs directory.

Shouldn't need the extras with .2003 - its the include file thats important.
