Using irrlicht with the gcc compiler

Post by peeves91 »

I'm trying to compile irrlicht with the gcc compiler in code::blocks, and I looked for the gcc library, but it's not there. Where can I get the library so I can compile my project?

gcc library? do you mean compiler? or are you talking about the irrlicht library files?
also, what's your OS?

You have to compile it yourself. There are project files in source/Irrlicht for that. For gcc/MingGW on Windows there is a dll - but it depends a lot on the gcc version which you are using if that will work or not (unfortunately there seem to be compatibility troubles between different gcc versions there).

If you are on Windows, try MinGW. It's the GCC for Windows.
If you are on Linux, try the package management system of your distro. The packet is usually called "g++".
