New Install and Hello World tutorial compile error

[webnoob]

Hiya, I have followed the details in the tutorial for setting Irrlicht up in Dev-CPP and get an error when trying to compile, here is the compile log

Code: Select all

With this code:

Code: Select all

// HelloUniverse.cpp
// Include the Irrlicht header
#include "irrlicht.h"

// Irrlicht Namespaces
using namespace irr;
using namespace core;
using namespace scene;
using namespace video;
using namespace io;
using namespace gui;


int main()
{
IrrlichtDevice *irrDevice = createDevice(EDT_SOFTWARE,
dimension2d<s32>(512, 384),
16,
false,
false,
0);

irrDevice->setWindowCaption(L"Dev-C++ and the Irrlicht Engine!");

IVideoDriver* irrDriver = irrDevice->getVideoDriver();
ISceneManager* irrSceneMgr = irrDevice->getSceneManager();
IGUIEnvironment* irrGUIEnv = irrDevice->getGUIEnvironment();

irrGUIEnv->addStaticText( L"Hello World! This is the Irrlicht software engine!",
rect<int>(10,10,200,30), true, true, 0, -1);

while(irrDevice->run())
{
irrDriver->beginScene(true, true, SColor(0,192,192,192));

irrSceneMgr->drawAll();
irrGUIEnv->drawAll();

irrDriver->endScene();
}

irrDevice->drop();

return(0);
}

I am using the latest release. Any help would be greatly appreciated

I guess you killed your libIrrlicht.a as it is not recognized anymore. Try to recompile or reinstall the library.

I am sorry, I am very new to this. I have downloaded the files straight from the web. DO I need to do more?

Ok so now I am very happy, not at one point through this did I think that the download could be corrupt Thanks for the help
