Codeblocks, Mingw, and Irrlicht?

genesisrage · Post by **genesisrage** » Tue Jan 15, 2008 2:22 am

wondering if anyone has had success compiling irrlicht.dll (1.4) with Code::Blocks using Mingw (gcc).

i assumed Irrlicht_Win32-gcc.cbp would be the file i needed to start with... but the amount of errors is mind-boggling, no files are selected to compile, so it makes a 12k file by default.

if anyone else has gone this route and got it working, can you please share your knowledge and post what steps you need to do?

Strange, I just tried it with c::b and yeah it does not compile. But importing the dev-c++ project file does work, so you can use that one (project - import - dev c++ project).

What are those error messages? I'm aware that the current SVN trunk project files are outdated, but the 1.4 SDK files should work.

yeah I use Code::Blocks and gcc most of the time, never had a problem

Try it with my IrrExtensions, it was written for C::B and Dev and also works for 1.4 now !!!

I was testing it yesterday with current SVN but using the 1.4 branch in it and I tried to compile it on a relatively current c::b (some months old) on Windows XP. No error messages - it simply did not compile any files, but finished immediately. I also tried with complete rebuild & clean, but no difference. Project files looked fine in as far as the files all showed up in the project folders, it was just as if no file in the project would be marked for compiling. Can that be differentiated in c::b? I have no idea... I might look into it some more later on (wrong system right now).
