Post by ThOoR »

Hello, I've tried to do that HelloWorld - Tutorial from the Hompage (http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/tut001.html) but everytime when i'am trying to compile I get that messages:

Uninstall Visual Studio 6.0 and install the 2008 Express Edition.
Everything 6.0 will give you is pain ;)
Software documentation is like sex. If it's good you want more. If it's bad it's better than nothing.

Support for MSVC 6.0 is erratic at best. I wonder if it's time to 'retire' the .dsp/.dsw files?

The word is ambiguous, not ambivalent. Anyway, it looks like VC6 is being irritated by some methods in math. I'll check if we can do something about it, but using MSVC Express seems a better option...

Don't use 'using namespace' to avoid name clashes with predefined methods. Or just use namespace qualifiers in the headers.

The newer MS C++ compilers do not support Windows 2000 which is what I use. Version irrlicht.1.4 was the last version that worked with MSVC 6.0. I would encourage continued support for this version of C++. Windows 2000 is stable and I see no reason to convert to XP or Vista. :!:

Well, Wikipedia says different things: MSVC 2003 was the last supporting Windows 95 :!: while 2008 won't work under Windows 98 anymore - at least not for all languages and concepts supported by MSVC...
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vs2005/aa718687.aspx doesn't list windows 98, though, so maybe already 2005 didn't support Windows 98 as development OS, but only as a target?!
Anyway, VC6 is not supported anymore, beginning with Irrlicht 1.5 - and Irrlicht 1.4.x is known to have problems with compilation under VC6 8)

No argument from me, 2K is the peak of Windows development.

However, Visual C++ 2005 runs just fine on Windows 2000.

It comes down to this: you upgrade to 2k5 (express), or we have to maintain an obsolete non-C++ toolchain indefinitely.

I do respect your position, but life is short, and I've got a lot of How I Met Your Mother episodes to download and watch after the wife has gone to bed.

Please, let it go. It's time to move into the 21st century. Join us: we have flying cars. Honest.

Thanks for pointing out that C++ 2005 Express Edition works on Windows 2000. I'm not sure how I missed trying it before! I suppose I have a certain resistance to using a product that I get for free to something that I paid hard earned bucks for.

You are right about life being too short but if something's not broken why fix it. I've never considered MSVC 6 as broken just quirky as is all MS products.

So you're from Scotland... Loved Edinburgh when I visited last year. Very friendly folks, just like coming home after a long absence.
