Yes, i have followed all the instructions in the 'Getting started' help file. I added all include directories and viola:
Quote: "--------------------Configuration: Main - Win32 Debug--------------------
Linking...
LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file "d3dx8.lib"
Error executing link.exe.

Main.exe - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)"


The file doesn't even exist in the DX SDK directory, and yes I have install the latest version...

My brain hurts.

Under the linker project options, under the import section, place d3dx8.lib into the Ignore specific libraries section.

Project menu, select settings.

Select the Linker Tab, and change the Category to Input

Place into the field called 'Ignore libraries' the dx lib filename.

Does the latest version of the GDK still work with VC 6? I didn't think so...

:/ This'll be the second time I've had to upload these files. Download the DirectX 8 files from here:

http://www.apexnow.co.uk/directx8.rar

Create a folder somewhere and extract the lib files. Setup Visual Studio's linker library paths (Tools menu/Options/Directories tab)

Remove the entry I had previously suggested in earlier post from your ignore libraries entry.

Paul.

You might need to add the .lib files into your library list. Clearly it's not finding functions either because the libs are not being included (DX libs), or it's no longer supported on VC6.

Aside from that, I can only suggest that you DO install VS.NET

Apex read Miguel's post way above.
Apparently it doesnt work with vc++ anymore, not that I agree with him taking every opportunity to trash-talk in every thread



Its 9/11 - but its FAKE 9/11 Ts=SQRT(Df/16)

Now that was totally uncalled for!!

My answer was not a pot shot at all - I was really trying to help just then and was not being sarcastic or anything!

For what it's worth, let me stress that when you locked the other thread you did not see me complaining - in fact I (silently) agreed to your comments that it had run its course.

CR, you always came across as a sensible person so I'll just assume that your comments were due to a missunderstanding of my intentions rather than you somehow having it in for me.

I have vague plans for World Domination

I took your post above as a pot shot, sorry if I misunderstood.
I don't have it in for you mate, honestly.

No worries... As I said, I was sure it was just a misunderstanding.

Umm... so it works now, kinda, but i get random errors, even when running the sample programs:
Quote: "Unhandled exception at 0x0042c4da in Dark Dungeon.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00000004."

on this line:


not to mention the flood of compile warninings, such as:
Quote: "Dark Dungeon warning LNK4075: ignoring '/EDITANDCONTINUE' due to '/INCREMENTAL:NO' specification
"


For god's sake... i followed all the instructions correctly...

This time, that has nothing to to with DGDK. I think every copy of VC comes out of the box with that warning.

/EDITANDCONTINUE turns ON that wonderful feature that allows you to change code during a break in debugging.

/INCREMENTAL:NO tells the compiler to build the whole exe at once and not to build it in smaller pieces. IIRC, means that it doesnt store the needed info for Edit and Continue mode.

If both are turned on, /EDITANDCONTINUE would only give you the option to restart your program every time you made a change during debug mode. Basically, the default behaviour of every c compiler.

Dont know. I only use vs2005. That command worked on my 2 machines.

is your sound card driver dx9 compatible? I've had problem with sound cards not able to run on newer dx runtimes cause of the drivers.
