unresolved external symbols xeffects help?

[aburt11]

hey there guys, im getting some linking errors with my project and xeffects -reloaded.

Code: Select all

 
Error   1       error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: __thiscall effectHandler::effectHandler(class irr::IrrlichtDevice *,class irr::core::dimension2d<int>,class irr::core::string<char,class irr::core::irrAllocator<char> >,class irr::core::dimension2d<int>)" (??0effectHandler@@QAE@PAVIrrlichtDevice@irr@@V?$dimension2d@H@core@2@V?$string@DV?$irrAllocator@D@core@irr@@@42@1@Z) referenced in function "public: void __thiscall redNovember::initIrrlicht(void)" (?initIrrlicht@redNovember@@QAEXXZ)      
 
Error   2       error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: void __thiscall effectHandler::update(class irr::video::ITexture *)" (?update@effectHandler@@QAEXPAVITexture@video@irr@@@Z) referenced in function "public: void __thiscall redNovember::renderScene(void)" (?renderScene@redNovember@@QAEXXZ)       
 
Error   3       error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: void __thiscall effectHandler::addShadowToNode(class irr::scene::ISceneNode *,enum E_FILTER_TYPE,enum E_SHADOW_MODE)" (?addShadowToNode@effectHandler@@QAEXPAVISceneNode@scene@irr@@W4E_FILTER_TYPE@@W4E_SHADOW_MODE@@@Z) referenced in function "public: void __thiscall redNovember::LoadScene(char const *)" (?LoadScene@redNovember@@QAEXPBD@Z)  
 

what is the problem with it because right now the only parts i have used is

Code: Select all

 
        
        //to set up xeffects
        effect = new effectHandler(device,dimension2d<s32>(GameWindowWidth,GameWindowHeight));
 
//in with the scene
node->setMaterialType(EMT_SOLID);
                                        effect->addShadowToNode(node,EFT_4PCF,ESM_BOTH);
 
 

thanks for your help!

It looks as if you are not linking against XEffects.

[aburt11]

what is there to link?

[mongoose7]

You either compile the sources with yours or you put them in a library. Either way, EffectHandler.cpp appears to be missing.

[hybrid]

Looks like you use slightly outdated code. You have to convert numbers explicitly to strings, using core::stringc(mynumber) at all places where the compiler complains about the conversions.

thanks, it works flawlessly now!
