How to get Direct X 8 in Dev-CPP

[Vinetu]

Please if can someone sent my dll and libs to:
Vinetu@hakeris.net
Very, very please.

[l0calh05t]

ok, here's the dll's (compiled using mingw/gcc-3.3.1)

http://www.8ung.at/splugs/dxirr.zip

and

http://www.8ung.at/splugs/dxirr-athlonxp.zip

the second one is athlon-xp optimized using the following compiler options:

-march=athlon-xp
-pipe
-fomit-frame-pointer
-mfpmath=sse,387

both are compiled with DirectX8 and DirectX9 suppport.
sorry that the server is so slow.

[Vinetu]

Thanks a lot!

Well, after I installed WinXP DevCpp creates the dll !!!
But, if I run a compiled irrlicht project, I get an error because zlib.dll (or libz.dll ?) could not be found !?!?!

I folowed the tutorial exactly...
libjpeg seems to be includet to the irrlicht.dll - why not libz ???
(the parameter -lz is includet, also -ljpeg)

CU, Acki

I've the same problem like James.
during compilation of Irrlicht, I got the error :

'C:\PROGRA~1\DEV-CPP\BIN\DLLWRAP.EXE: Must provide at least one of -o or --dllname options'

I don't know what to do.

Hello everybody. I don't know if this helps but I post it anyway.
My name is ZoE and my team and me developed the DirectX90.devpak for use of the DirectX 9.0 SDK (current version 9.0c) with the Dev-Cpp environment (MinGW compiler).
Since I noticed that there is still a wrong link here I would like to update.
Here is our new location:
http://www.g-productions.net
There is the home of the DirectX90.DevPak. Why to use our devpak instead of the one provided with the udpate function of Dev-Cpp?
Because we have (hopefully) the currently most complete DevPak for use of all DirectX components with MinGW.
Thought it might help some of you.

mine says, that spheremap is undeclared...

[Chokito]

Mine too. The error i got is:

43 C:\Dev-Cpp\irrlicht7custom\Irrlicht\CVideoDirectX8.cpp `SphereMapMatrixD3D8' undeclared (first use this function)

I'm trying to compile the .7 version of Irrlicht with the DirectX90b.DevPak package suggested at the earlier post...

Does anyone knows what's going on?

Ok, I'm sure a newbie to Irrlicht...

The problem with the dx function were solved (_IRR_COMPILE_WITH_DIRECTX_8_ were not being set...). But even fixing this, I still get errors while trying to build the dll:

[Linker error] undefined reference to `jpeg_std_error'
[Linker error] undefined reference to `jpeg_CreateDecompress'

[Linker error] undefined reference to `jpeg_read_header'

I double checked the path to jpeg library files and everything seems to be OK. How can I solve this?

This is the same error that I get whenever I try to recompile the dll; just 100% linker errors to a library that I though (:)) I was pointing to.

if your using the ones in the source folder, try using the ones in the main folder instead.

I'm having a problem with my build.

It seems theres a file missing.

"glxext.h" is not found is the message I get.

And then I can't compile as a few functions are undeclared... which I assume are in this header file.

If anyone could send me it, I'd be grateful.

Sorry that was me I forgot to log in....




And I just looked in my progect and glext.h was there. Even though Dev gave me an error message.

When I compile I get a red line in CVideoDirectX8.cpp, at the line:
" SphereMapMatrixD3D8._11 = 0.5f; SphereMapMatrixD3D8._12 = 0.0f;"
The compile log is :

Any Ideas?

Can you just upload the .dll please... ?

Do you want someone to write your game for you as well? If you can't compile the library you're probably going to struggle with an actual game.
