Unable to compile.

Post by Airslash »

Hello,

I'm currently trying to get the source code of irrlicht compiled on a windows system. I'm using Eclipse with the CDT C++ editor and minGW compiler to compile the entire project. At the moment I'm getting several errors, and everytime I rebuild i'm getting different errors.

Also I keep getting issues with the X11 files and the MAC files although I have disaibled them by configuring the configheader of irrlicht.

Some of the errors
============
1. dllimport error, no idea why

Try removing the files it complains about from your project. You don't need the Linux or OSX stuff, and not all of the PNG files are required.
You could look for hints in the other Windows project files, they are all plain text- msvc and codeblocks are xml, dev-cpp is an ini file.

I haven't used Eclipse much, but make sure the library and include paths are set correctly in Eclipse. I usually forget to update the directory search locations in Visual Studio when a new version of Irrlicht comes out or when I move my files around; I get similar errors like yours when that happens.

Ok further update.

At the moment I've cleaned out all the code and files that we definitly wouldn't be needing in our project. This would be directX, and MAC specific code. The attempt is to make a pure openGL comilation of it, but I'm still getting the 'marked as dllimport' errors on a few irrlicht_api calls.

Any ideas as to what might be causing those?

In order to compile under win32 you have to make some defines:
-DIRRLICHT_EXPORTS=1 -DPNG_NO_MMX_CODE -DPNG_NO_MNG_FEATURES -D__GNUWIN32__ -D_WIN32 -DWIN32 -D_WINDOWS -D_MBCS -D_USRDLL
This should configure the build process in a way that works with mingw.
