Forgive my stupidity, but I have all but configured the DGDK for use with the Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition (with much mucking about).

Its complaining about not being able to find atls.lib when I compile the basic example. Anybody have any idea where this file is and have I set my directories up slightly wrong

Setting up the DGDK to work with the 2005 Express Edition is quite a tedious business but I will write a short guide of how its done once I get this working

Temporary workaround: Open project properties pane and go to the Configuration properties->Linker->Input. In the 'Ignore specific library' add atls.lib.

P.S. You may already know this, but maybe an elder could come in here soon and get a better solution.

common people are walking in line.

That worked for me - I'm surprised I didn't think of it before...

I believe ATLS is part of the ATL group (which is to do with Windows stuff when using things like MFC).

Have you also downloaded, installed and configured the platform SDK? ... that is if you are using the Express version.

ATLS sounds like ATL Server (Advanced Template Library). ATL was a nicer way to do COM stuff with Visual Studio than the dreaded MFC.

If it is ATL server, why does DGDK require it? Since I don't see any errors by ignoring the library it sounds like a

#pragma lib("atls.lib")

somewhere.

I installed the platform sdk as required, but the file atls.lib isn't actually on my machine at all. I will try some of the work arounds suggested

I did the "ignore specific library" trick and that worked. Now its complaining that it cannot find d3dx8.lib !

Why would it be looking for that?
