Irrlicht Engine

I saw a lib for irrlicht that deals with headtracking using a web cam instead of a wiimote and IR leds. The project uses OpenCV so you will need that too. Its called CvIrrCamController. If you make a template or release source that would be cool since I would like to toy around with these features ...

Update: I managed to get the irrlicht.dll to compile with Code Blocks... I had many problems that might be good to list in case any one runs into the same problems..

Okay first was that I was using the using the Irrlicht.dll that was in the bin\Win32-gcc folder but I was updating the binary in the ...

Hmm... OK, let's see (I'm typing as I try this):

I'm assuming that you're using Irrlicht 1.4.2.

Open source\Irrlicht\Irrlicht_Win32-gcc.cbp in Code::Blocks.

Right click on Irrlicht, and select Build Options.

Select the Compiler settings tab, and the #defines sub-tab. Add:

_IRR_COMPILE_WITH ...

I am trying to get DirectX support in the Irrlicht.dll so I installed DirectX 9c SDK and when I compile there are no errors but a window pops up with the message "You must select a host application to "run" a library..."

I am not sure it successfully compiled...

UPDATE: Thanks to Switchcase I know ...

I have downloaded and installed the latest directX 9c and when I try to compile irllicht I get no compile errors but a window pops up with the text "You must select a host application to run a library"

Any ideas? Did I download the wrong directX SDK?

When you type "Irrlicht" for the lib. My compiler doesn't work like that. I had to actually find the lib file. "Irrlicht.a" that's because libs for gcc usually named lib MyLib.a,
so the Irrlicht lib should be named "libIrrlicht.a" and not just "Irrlicht.a" !!! ;)
if you rename it you'll see it ...

the tutorial you found seems to use C::B with the MSVC libs, but as far as you're using C::B with gcc you can also check my tutorial at http://abusoft.g0dsoft.com , it's realy simple to use... ;)

Its a good tutorial expect for one part didn't work for me. When you type "Irrlicht" for the lib. My ...

Perhaps the sound was pre compiled into an object?? I did have sound until I compiled with the USE_IRRKLANG define. Everytime I pressed space or mouse click. Code:Blocks is confusing me since I do not know whats being linked into the project. Also the project is using a outdated irrlicht.dll file ...

So i found this link... maybe it will help others:

http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/tut_codeblocks.html

NOTE: many of the links to libs don't work.
I didn't know I need so many other dependencies...

I am still having issues but I am going to take a break and then come back later.

so I found out how to link using the build options in code blocks. Rt click on the project and select build options then I can add libraries in the Linker Settings tab and other search directories in the next tab.

After compiling the Irrlicht source i can no longer use directX in the examples... I ...

I compiled the demo and it doesn't have sound after I linked in IrrKlang. I though I had sound when I commented the define and compiled without IrrKlang.h? Any ideas? The IrrKlang demos work fine.

Oh btw I removed the menu file from the project then it wouldnt compile. but it was in a folder and ...

I am having an issue linking using code blocks I have just switched over to this ide and I want to define the library locations.

I can compile examples if I relocate the precompiled irrlicht.dll found in the bin. But I couldn't compile the demo using IrrKlang. How can i set up the ide to find my ...
