Download the SDK, go to source/Irrlicht/ and open Irrlicht-gcc.cbp with Codeblocks. Compile the library and copy the .dll from the bin/Win32-gcc/ directory to your Project-directory.

Ok thanks. do you think the tutorials on here are enough to teach you how to design your own games? I have pretty basic limited knowlege of C++ and i was getting bored following the examples on cplusplus.com.

If you start with simple enough games maybe. I mean won't hurt working your way through a few tutorials and just checking if you understand already what's going on.

Tutorials are not enough to make a game. You should know how to design your game. Irrlicht is one of your multimedia libraries (a good library), nothing more , nothing less. Tutorials explain how to use irrlicht, not how to make a game.

If you don't understand you should read some good C++ tutorial about Object oriented design, and also some introductive tutorial to 3D graphics can help (I started with Nehe tutorials, lighthouse 3D and Zeus tutorials).

Probably the most interesting thing for your could be a tutorial that shows how to create a game with a top-down approach using C++.
