I decided to go back programming with Irrlicht after having had a rest for some years and now when I dowloaded the 1.5.1 versión and tried to compile the examples I've gotten some compiler errors and I seem unable to find what I'm doing wrong. I feel so dumb.
I still use VC++ 6.0 and I have set the directories for the header files, irrlicht.lib, and so... When I try to build the 01HelloWorl example I get a lot of compiling errors like:
Compiling...
main.cpp
Compiling Irrlicht with Visual Studio 6.0, support for DX9 is disabled.

Don't dismiss what he says, he's probably right! I think Irrlicht no longer supports VC6. You'll be much better upgrading to VS08, tis free and hugely better!
Yes, it look slike the VC6 compiler cannot handle the core function templates, or it simply does some dumb macro expansion which breaks that code. You can try to fix it (and even submit a patch), but we won't fix problems that only exist for VC6.
