Command line compile in win, using gcc from minGW?

[Rusk]

Hey, it's been six months and a new hard drive since I did any programming... so I'm kind of starting over from scratch. I decided to skip code::blocks this time and try a bare bones approach, just for fun. I've hit a dead end already though, trying to get the first tutorial to compile.

I am using windows 7, the latest stable irrlicht, 1.8, and mingw with gcc version 4.6.2. I am compiling the first tutorial and get errors:

Code: Select all

g++ -Wall -ID:\Opt\irrlicht-1.8\include -LD:\Opt\irrlicht-1.8\lib\Win32-gcc sub.cpp libIrrlicht.a -o sub.exe
 
sub.cpp: In function 'int main()':
sub.cpp:13:5: error: 'IrrlichDevice' was not declared in this scope
sub.cpp:13:20: error: 'device' was not declared in this scope
sub.cpp:20:5: error: 'IVideoDrive' was not declared in this scope
sub.cpp:20:19: error: 'driver' was not declared in this scope
sub.cpp:40:65: error: 'sColor' was not declared in this scope
mingw32-make: *** [sub.exe] Error 1

I guess I don't know how to specify the library. The paths should be right since it finds the header. I've tried swapping places of "sub.cpp" and "libIrrlicht.a" although I think the libraries should be after the file(?), also replacing "libIrrlicht.a" with "-lIrrlicht" (according to http://www.network-theory.co.uk/docs/gc ... ro_17.html). There must be something else I'm missing... any hints?

These are compile time errors, so your code is simply wrong. IVideoDriver is missing the last 'r' and IrrlichtDevice the 't' in the center. Maybe go back to an IDE which would tell you directly such things...
And yes, -lIrrlicht is better and has to go after all .cpp and .o files mentioned

Also sColor is SColor.

You are right, there were a lot of spelling errors there.
