Error compiling the Demo from irrlicht 1.4.1

[Laptev]

When i try to compile the (unmodified main.cpp)Demo from the exemple directory in irrlicht 1.4.1 i get o couple of errors...
I want to know if the problem is from my compiler ( Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 ) or the script has some bugs
Thanx .

Well why not start by telling us what the errors are? We can't read your mind so can't tell you whether the errors are your compiler or not

[Laptev]

I didn't post the errors because are lots of them...

When i compile the main.cpp i get :

Those are linker errors, so you didn't produce a proper project file, because not all .o files are linked into your resulting application.

Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0

Ewww. I still have to use MSV"C++" 6.0 in my work, but there's no reason to inflict it on yourself unless absolutely necessary. It will not compile DX9 headers, for one thing (because it's not strictly a C++ compiler).

Visual C++ Express 2008 is free, and vastly better. If it won't run on your machine (2K Pro FTW) then Visual C++ Express 2005 is still available. I would strongly urge you to upgrade.

Strange thing is that many people complain about wrong overload resolutions, where VC6 tries to use the three parameter core::max_ instead of the two parameter version, or vice versa. This is really
If someone knows how to fix this I'd really appreciate any help, and it seems to work here because the compiler did compile the file somehow...

Sorry, I just can't see that it's worthwhile investing any time in supporting MSV"C++" 6.0 any more. Microsoft don't do it.

I'd advocate simply dropping support for it from 1.5 onwards, and removing the project files.
