WINE > BEER.

I just know this is going to end in a root cause 17.

it's too early to quit, it takes about three to four years to become proficient.

but if you really want to go, nobody's stoppin ya, you'll see the same face of frustration anywhere you go.

looks like you are rushing it, which probably will get you nowhere.

that's a good idea...

I aggree there with Rogerborg !!!

also I'm not sure if Irrlicht is a little bit of an over kill for just playing videos...

ergh, i did it, and it compiled with just the IAVI extension, however, when I try to run even the most simple example of an irrlicht program using the new dll, the following error occurs:

Code: Select all

g++ -LC:\Program Files\Irrlicht\irrlicht-1.4.1\lib\Win32-visualstudio -oVideo.exe main.o -lIrrlicht
main.o: In function `ZN3irr4core12irrAllocatorIcE12internal_newEj':

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
Build error occurred, build is stopped

Ideas?

the first things that comes in mind are:
did you link against the new lib (libIrrlicht.a) that was newly created ???
did you use the new include files (the ones inside the source folder) ???
and of course, did you use the new dll (the one in the same folder as the new libIrrlicht.a) ???

yes yes yes and yes!!
ahhhh!!!!

Perhaps its cos i ONLY clicked the IAVIPlayer extension and none of the others :S??

Can somebody not just give me their dll with IAVIPlayer and dx8 & 9 support please?!
