Patch for compiling Irrlicht with Visual Studio 2008

I've created the Solution and Project files needed to compile Irrlicht with Visual Studio 2008 Professional. The patch is in the tracker at the Irrlicht SourceForge page and was made with Irrlicht Subversion Revision 1527.

Nice, but I didn't have any trouble compiling the old .sln under VS2008. Express or Studio...
Or I suppose you're meaning "No upgrade-needed .sln", which makes me look like a fool XD

The VS2008 Irrlicht project file has some extra options for the "Release - Fast FPU" configuration. If you just convert from VS2005 you won't get that.

Also, I have both VS2005 and VS2008 installed at the moment. I won't completely switch over to VS2008 for a while.

Have you maybe seen my thread, there is an issue of portability in VS2008

That only applies if you don't have the runtime installed. Some people will have the runtime installed with Other applications, or maybe even a version of the .NET framework.

That said, 2005 is likely to get a more widespread redistribution...

What has that got to do with solution/project files?

Anyway, if you put my VS2008 compiled exes through dependency walker you'll see they're only linked to kernel32 and irrlicht.dll - and the dll is linked statically with the VC runtime...
