I can help, but your going to have to be WAY more precise on what your problem is.

Are you including the include directories, the library, are the DLLs in the right place?

What OS?

What programming language?

What error messages are you getting?

Etc...

the main error I am getting is:

Line 1: The procedure entry point
Line 2: ?createDevice@irr@@YAPAIrrlichtDevice@1@W4EDriverType@video@!@ABV?$dimension2d@H@core@1@I_N2PA
Line 3: VIEventReciever@1@@Z could not be located in the dynamic link library Irrlicht.dll

Thats the error.

I am running Windows XP.

i am using C++. I have 2 C++ compilers both give me the same error. One is Dev C++ and the other is Visual C++ 6.0

Dev C++ is my best bet is because I have upgraded it so it can read more current things and the api stuff... sorry for double post though

Visual C++ 6.0 is much better than Dev C++, I would use it and make sure that the Irrlicht.dll is in the same directory as the source you are compiling. Then make sure under tools, option, and the directories tab set the check box to include files, and then add in the path to the Irrlicht include folder and then change the check box to the lib files and add in the path to the Irrlicht lib folder for VC++. Then under project, settings, and the link tab, under obj/library modules type in irrlicht.lib. If you do this correctly then you will be able to compile without any (linker) problems.

VC++ doesnt have the stuff Dev-C++ has but i guess its better since it is used by most here.

Reason being is: VC++ doesnt read the directx or opengl code... so i dont like it and 2 i hate microsoft...

MICROSOFT RULES!!!

What do you mean

Visual C++ has so much more and runs better compiles faster better debugging good lord the list goes on. Also, I don't understand what you're getting at here?

Doesn't read the DirectX or OpenGL code? Maybe I'm misunderstanding you but I've compiled thousands of DirectX and OpenGL programs in VC++6. Plus, all the major game companies use it, most of those cool games you see out there like Quake III were written in VC++.

Flich, you must have vc++ installed incorrectly. Reinstall it from cds, and get all the updates from microsoft.com.

[dx/x]=HUNT3R · Post by **[dx/x]=HUNT3R** » Sat Nov 08, 2003 4:22 pm

you really only need 1 update, SP5

Flich · Post by **Flich** » Sat Nov 08, 2003 8:28 pm

Directx and opengl...

Fich, irrlicht ROCKS!

If no-one else is having these problems, it's probably a problem with your setup. Make sure you've got the right irrlicht dll for the code you're using.
