[Examples] Direct3D not compiled error

[MikeP]

Hi. I'm brand new, using Irrlicht 1.4 with Code::blocks8.02 .. I've put Irrlicht.dll that I found in \bin\Win32-gcc into the example I was learning (of the Irrlicht website/install) , then tried putting it into Windows\system32 (I'm running XPSP2) .. my issue is all drivers are working except direct 3D ones...
I'm getting the error 'DIRECT3D9 Driver was not compiled into this dll. Try another one.

anyone knows why this is happening?

Thanks

Well, as the message says, the windows gcc (MinGW) version does not have direct3d. Only opengl. But if you search the forums you might find that someone has compiled it with D3D support.

Or maybe this helps: http://www.irrlicht3d.org/pivot/entry.php?id=710

Thanks xDan .. I didn't think it would have had to do with MinGW. And I appreciate the link
