Irrlicht Engine

Anyone? 170+ mb Direct X SDK on dialup = Pain.
Incidentally, /why/ does the Win32 GCC DLL in the irrlicht SDK not have Direct X?

Would anyone care to release a directX enabled DLL for us Dev++ users?

I have a very similar problem, any of the examples I compile myself will immediately exit if I choose DirectX, but they run on software.
Do I need to get the DirectX SDK to work with Irrlicht then?

Nexus: It isn't, but it wouldn't matter since the code to load MD2s is built into Irrlicht.
I have already checked permissions and that the file is indeed where it should be("Unsupported file format", not "File not found").
I'm running a PPC which is big endian so... short of buying a PC, what can I ...

MD2 is the Quake 2 model format, it is widely used on multiple platforms.

When I try to run any of the examples that load data files they fail to load, due to unreadable headers or unrecognized file format.
Example03 for example runs fine since it does not load any models/textures.

Here is the result when I try to run Example1
