Starting Irrlicht with Code::Blocks

Hi, I'm new to Irrlicht and relatively new to C++ programming.

I have gotten Irrlicht to work on VC9, and now I'm trying to also start on my Mac (via Codeblocks). However, when I try to use the new Irrlicht project wizard, it asks me for the directory for the Irrlicht source. When I input it, it says this:

The path you entered seems valid, but this wizard can't locate the following Irrlicht's include file: irrlicht.h in it.

I looked in the source folder and it does indeed have this file... is there an easier way to get started, or a tutorial I can follow?

hi,
I also had problems with the C::B wizard, I'm not sure, but it seems it needs a specific directory hirarchy...
but it's pretty easy to setup a project with C::B...
have a look at my site, I made a short tutorial on how to setup an Irrlicht project with C::B...

In mac you should use the included Xcode project. Trying to set codeblocks as IDE is a bit complicated as it doesn't get along very well with mac's library system.
