getMesh() and Linux

Tequilla · Post by **Tequilla** » Tue May 18, 2004 2:04 pm

Hi all together,

I just tried Irrlicht first time with Linux (SuSE 9.0, 64bit) and discoverd, that the getMesh()-function does not work. Evereywhere, where a static mesh should be loaded (in the examples and the techdemo, too) the program crashs with an Access Violation.
I dont know anything more about it.
Does anybody know how to fix this?
Thank you!

Max

Do you mean the getMesh() method of ISceneManager? I could not imagine that this think could crash. Maybe you mean the one of IAnimatedMesh? This should not crash either, but you should check that it the pointer you use to call it is not 0.

Yes, the getMesh() of the ISceneManager. While executing the Techdemo for example, there are the following messages:

I added the opened, checked, created and added mesh myself to locate the error. Now I know it must be inside of createMesh of the IMeshLoader. In which file can I find this method?

Hm, thats strange. I think you should take a look into the CQ3LevelMesh.cpp and CDefaultMeshFormatLoader.cpp. But I have absolutely no idea what this could be.
