another compilation error..

[metalhead]

Hi there,

I'm trying to run the first example 01.HelloWorld and already fail..
I followed the instructions of the tutorial exactly, however I get the error:

LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'Irrlicht.lib'

in addition to that:

d:\irrlicht-1.4.1\examples\demo\CDemo.h(21) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'irrKlang.h': No such file or directory

Does anyone have an idea why it doesn't work?

By the way: I'm working on Vista 32bit with Visual Studio 2008 Professional

It would be really nice, if somebody could help me.

Hi

Just for the first step I recommend you to go into '01.HelloWorld' subdirectory and open HelloWorld.sln. It will compile.

I think that the error you see happens because one of the demos requires irrKlang library which is not present in irrlicht sources.

true.
I thought compiling "BuildAllExamples.sln" should work, too.
Thanks for helping!

The online tutorials can be slightly out of date, but this looks like a configuration problem, or a borked SDK install.

First, look in your Irrlicht SDK, in the directory:

\lib\Win32-visualstudio

Does it contain an Irrlicht.lib file? If not, then re-install your SDK. I'd recommend upgrading to the latest version, 1.4.2 at the time of writing.

If you do have an Irrlicht.lib file, then open BuildAllExamples.sln in MSVC++.

Right click on 01.HelloWorld_vc8, and select Properties.

Under Configuration Properties -> Linker -> General, find the Additional Library Directories property. It should be:

..\..\lib\Win32-visualstudio

If not, make it so.

That should set your IDE up correctly so that it can find Irrlicht.lib

in addition to that:

d:\irrlicht-1.4.1\examples\demo\CDemo.h(21) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'irrKlang.h': No such file or directory

I assume you're using Irrlicht 1.4? The first step in any compilation problem is to look at the source:

Code: Select all

#ifdef USE_IRRKLANG
	#include <irrKlang.h>	// problem here? go to http://www.ambiera.com/irrklang and download
							// the irrKlang library or undefine USE_IRRKLANG at the beginning
							// of this file.
	#ifdef _IRR_WINDOWS_
	#pragma comment (lib, "irrKlang.lib")
	#endif
#endif

The solution is in the comments. Alternatively, update your SDK to 1.4.1 / 1.4.2 or the SVN trunk, where USE_IRRKLANG is not defined by default.

yeah i had that problem before too,
but just commented #define USE_IRRKLANG
