Irrlicht->Dev-C++->DX8 problem

DarkWhoppy · Post by **DarkWhoppy** » Fri Oct 17, 2003 2:02 am

I get this error when compiling with DX8.

cc1plus.exe C:\Dev-Cpp\Engine\Irrlicht Engine\cc1plus.exe
[Warning] -fvtable-thunks is no longer supported

Irrlicht in DevC++ still handles only OGL mode.

But since version 0.4.1, the code shoult automaticly detect if you are trying to compile DirectX with g++, and disables it unasked. But I don't know if cc1plus.exe is a gcc compiler.

Its what I came with Dev-C++ when I installed.

I'll just use OpenGL until I find away around that...

I can compile demos with Dev-C++, but I have a crash when running demos with video::DIRECTX8 instead of video::OPENGL or video::SOFTWARE.

I would like to know if version 0.4.1 is smart enough to use video::DIREXT8 with Dev-C++ ?

1) cc1plus is a part of gcc
2) when compiling, I used version 0.4 and I failed to use DX8 with Dev-C++. Does version 0.4.1 solve this problem ?
3) If I remember well, -fvtable-thunks must be used for accessing COM objects like DX8 interfaces.

ok, -fvtable-thunks seems to be deprecated in gcc 3.x and you must use the latest Dev-C++ with gcc 3.x.

Hi,

Using version 0.4.1, you must launch Dev-C++ and check if you have downloaded the Directx package for Dev-C++. Just open Irrlicht.dev and make some modifications or additions :

1) in IrrCompileConfig.h, modify lines 23-26 as following :

#if defined(_WIN32)
// && !defined(__GNUC__)
#define _IRR_COMPILE_WITH_DIRECTX_8_
#endif

2) "Tab Project > Project options (Alt-P) > Tab Paremeters > Link editor" : just add "-ld3d8 -ld3dx8d"

Also, I advise you to add optimizations flags too, if you want to be able to have 200fps instead of 70 fps ( software/opengl )

I get a few... hundred errors when I compile for some reason. I did everything right =/ . Maybe there should be a download some where with it already compiled that way for DX.

it might be that it's having trouble finding or isn't playing nice with the directX header files.

There're my errors.

I removed that little square which was a "stray '\32' " but... no DLL ?? I'm suppose to get a DLL when done compiling right?:?

I just followed his exact instructions and produced a .dll just fine. extract a brand new source.zip and try again.

DarkWhoppy · Post by **DarkWhoppy** » Thu Nov 06, 2003 2:43 am

Still not workin...(no DLL after done compiling) I tried twice and i'm using Dev-C++ v4.9.8.4

Could you upload one to a server for me to download? That'll be greatly appreciated.

according to a dev-c++ forum i'm on, dev-c++ and directx don't get along well witth each other......
