When I try to run the Demo in example I ge this:

I havnt deleted any folders or files... why is it not finding these files?

[loki1985]

a) install required DX8 and DX9 SDKs from microsoft
or
b) deactivate DX8 and DX9 in compilation options (irrcompileconfig.h)

option b is by far the easier solution.

[PaNDa]

what do the DX8 and 9 compilation options do? And how difficult is it to install them?

[FuzzYspo0N]

Just install the directx9 SDK, That will solve the first bunch of errors. The second bunch is because the directx8 sdk is missing, but it shouldnt be enabled anyway.

In irrlichtCompileConfig.h there is a

#define _IRR_COMPILE_WITH_DIRECTX8_

or something similar, take it out by puting a // in front of it

Thanks for the quick responses!!

EDIT: Nevermind.... it didn't work! haha. It still gives me the error that it can't open 'd3dx9tex.h' 'd3dx9shader.h' and 'd3d8.h' because it just isn't there.

You need to disable those defines in IrrCompileConfig.h. Once you do this it works for sure. You won't have DirectX support then, though. If you installed the DirectX SDK make sure that the include paths etc. are properly set up in MSVC.

[PaNDa]

the include paths for direct x? I did have it updated to 9 like the previous post told me... except i'm sure it was at 9 since just bought my laptop a week ago. Anyways, let me know what to do next

weird no one else has had this problem!

weird no one else has had this problem!

probably because they use the DX9 SDK and not the (normal) installation !?!?!
