school project: Irrlicht with RAD 2009 (C++Builder 2009)

[Katsumi]

hello.

in my school we want create a little application for control a virtual robotor (fun project!).
in this time we are creating inputs (VCL components) and with Canvas we draw the robotor and his moves in 2D. with vcl gui we observe the robotor action and correct roboter mistakes.

now i want look to create this scenario with 3D. but we are all still beginners in 3D. first problem, we need a dll and lib for the C++Builder 2009 project.

i create a new library project and put all Irrlicht 3D Engine\irrlicht-1.5\source\Irrlicht\*.cpp files in it.
in RAD 2009 insert C:\DXSDK\include (DirectX8 SDK) but i get much errors:
one of them: [BCC32 Fehler] d3dx8math.inl(1107): E2451 Undefiniertes Symbol 'f32'

i searching a tutorial for rad 2007/2009 (C++Builder 2009) creating irrlicht dll and lib files.

have anybody here a little short example for using vcl gui and irrlicht in a window? example: input in TEdit a text and irrlicht show this text. i can now go to irrlicht-canvas and rotate the text with mouse-control and go back to TEdit to change the text again.

example picture of a another comercial component

can anybody help? thx

Consult your compiler documentation, or switch to one of the supported compilers.
