linker errors in tutorials [Dev-C++]

BeginnerQuestion · Post by **BeginnerQuestion** » Mon May 17, 2004 3:15 pm

hi,

i'm new to the irrlicht-engine and to Dev-CPP and i always get linker errors when trying to compile the tutorials. the error-msg is:

[Linker error] undefined reference to `_imp___ZN3irr12createDeviceENS_5video11EDriverTypeERKNS_4core11dimension2dIiEEjbbPNS_14IEventReceiverEPKw'

does anybody know this problem?

You might be trying to compile without one of the lib files linked in the Linker opitions. If that doesn't work then post a bit of your code... (I use Dev-C++) Then again it looks like there's something wrong with an event receiver... hard to tell with no visual code.

hm.. its exactly the code from tutorial 1.

step by step what im doing:

1. file > open project or file > ..irrlicht6.0/examples/helloworld/main.cpp
2. F9

result: linker error

when i open the the 'example.dev' and press F9 it works fine.

why that?

The files are already linked in the Linker Options with the tutorial's Dev-C++ project file. Follow this tutorial again: Dev-C++ Tutorial
