Irrlicht 1.5 DevPak

cobra · Post by **cobra** » Thu Feb 05, 2009 6:44 am

Hello all, tonight I decided to throw together a DevPak for DevC++ and wxDevC++ users! I compiled the devpak with all of the necessary things, such as precompiled win32 GCC demos, the source to them, irrlicht files like license and readme, a .tar.bz2 archive of the engine's source along with the 1.5 DLL and doc folder in the bin folder of DevC++, and of course the library and .a file themselves.

So when you just want to install a quick devpak and get started developing with DevC++, here you go!

Please note: This devpak is untested, and I take no responsibility or any errors or problems, crashes etc. caused to your operating system, computer, or software from the use of this devpak.

If you find any bugs, or the devpak doesn't install the right folders or gives your compiler errors, please let me know here and I'll fix them.

Also note: This devpak won't install over any existing Irrlicht installation, since it installs in Irrlicht1.5\*folder* style folders in every installation.

Thank you for downloading! Please report any bugs.

Cool! Thanks for your work

After further testing, you could upload it to the devpaks repo:

EDIT: I just downloaded it, but it's not a .devpak file. renaming it doesn't work either. Could you please explain how to use/install it?

Hmm.. well, I built it using the PackMaker that I recently downloaded. It should work - did you try just clicking on it, or going in to DevC++ and going to Tools -> Package Manager to install it? I tested it and it seems to work for me. Let me download it on this computer, since I compiled it on another. Thanks for testing it and reporting the problem!

EDIT:

Ohh, it doesn't even work on this computer either! Very sorry. The program generated two files, the same type and both devpak or devpackages. Next time I get on that computer I'll get the other one and upload. The thing is, it's 19mb :S That seems rather large for a devpak. Maybe I should take out the precompiled examples and just leave the source?? I thought people would like to have the compiled examples though, but maybe best to leave them out for file size reasons.

cool, cause for devpak was only 15 kb in size!

Devpaks can take several mbs, depending on how complex of a program/library/sdk they are. 19mb wouldn't be extremely large for irrlicht, but if you feel like taking the binaries of the examples out to make it smaller please do so.
Let us know when you got the new devpak ready. I'm looking forward to testing it.

regards,
Alvaro

Sorry about that. Thanks for testing it as well. If it installs in directories like C:\Bloodshed\DevC++\library\Irrlicht1.5\library\Irrlicht1.5 let me know because I didn't get used to the whole choosing library thing, and it was kind of weird that it put the whole directory in there.

It will most likely work though, but if not it's fixable.

Hope it works for you buddy.
