Could we see your main.cpp file ?

jmcorp · Post by **jmcorp** » Fri Dec 21, 2007 9:13 pm

here is my main.cpp file.

#include <irrlicht.h>

using namespace irr;

#pragma comment(lib, "Irrlicht.lib")

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

device->setWindowCaption(L"Hello World! - Irrlicht Engine Demo");

IVideoDriver* driver = device->getVideoDriver();
ISceneManager* smgr = device->getSceneManager();
IGUIEnvironment* guienv = device->getGUIEnvironment();

guienv->addStaticText(L"Hello World! This is the Irrlicht Software engine!", rect<int>(10,10,200,22), true);

IAnimatedMesh* mesh = smgr->getMesh("C:/boys homework/irrlicht-1.4/irrlicht-1.4/media/sydney.md2");
IAnimatedMeshSceneNode* node = smgr->addAnimatedMeshSceneNode( mesh );

if (node)

{ node->setMaterialFlag(EMF_LIGHTING, false);
node->setFrameLoop(0, 310);
node->setMaterialTexture( 0, driver->getTexture("C:/boys homework/irrlicht-1.4/irrlicht-1.4/media/sydney.bmp") );
}

smgr->addCameraSceneNode(0, vector3df(0,30,-40), vector3df(0,5,0));

while(device->run())
{
driver->beginScene(true, true, SColor(255,100,101,140));

smgr->drawAll();

guienv->drawAll();

driver->endScene();

}

device->drop(); return 0;

}

Maybe you should try to add these namespaces:

Code: Select all

using namespace core;

using namespace scene;

using namespace video;

using namespace io;

using namespace gui;

Thanks sooo much that i gotten rid of all the 31 errors, but i error remains, this is what is still says:

"Linking...
LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'Irrlicht.lib'"

Copy the file Irrlicht.lib in the same directory that your executable.

thats what i get, even though i have copied the irrlicht.lib into my exe folder(the one in my documents)

irrlicht.lib is used during linking. At runtime you need irrlicht.dll
