Compiling the Irrlicht Source using Code Blocks

[magfuse]

I have downloaded and installed the latest directX 9c and when I try to compile irllicht I get no compile errors but a window pops up with the text "You must select a host application to run a library"

Any ideas? Did I download the wrong directX SDK?

[SwitchCase]

Just 'build' the project rather than 'build & run' (i don't remember what exact terminology is used in CodeBlocks). The lib should have been compiled anyway (check the output dir)... the reason for that window popping up is (as the message states) CodeBlocks is trying to run the library without a host - you can't 'run' libraries.
