Compilation Errors Tutorial 1

Post by ashwin.lele »

Hello guys

I am having problems with even compiling the first tutorial.
I have followed the steps in tutorial correctly

1.Include header files.
2.Include library files.

I am using Visual C++ 6.0

Do i require to include the DX9 library and header files from SDK?

I get the following errors.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Use a newer compiler, or try to figure some comand line options which will make VC6 to resolve the overloaded methods properly.

Yah, try downloading MSVC 2008 Express Edition, it's free and will be much better than 6.0!

Thanks

I tested it with DevC++ and its fine.
Should i switch to VC++ 2008? Because DevC++ feels slightly difficult for a newcomer.

I think DevC++ is fine for a newcomer, it's what i first used and still use to this day for personal work. But i would still advise you to use VC08 as it's much better. I really need to stop using DevC++ but can't seem to be bothered to make the change fully :lol:

I'd thoroughly recommend Visual C++ 2008 Express as an IDE.
