Linker Error: LNK2001 unresolved external symbol

[maplelm]

so I am very no to this engine and prgramming games in general and i have been trying to set up the engine to code with for weeks know and no matter what i try i all ways get linker errors to do with not finding the Irrlicht.dll or that there is some other unresolved external symbol i have set up the linker to link with the Irrlicht.dll and i have set up all the included and all that i have tryed putting in

Code: Select all

#pragma comment(lib, "Irrlicht.lib")

and

Code: Select all

#pragma comment(lib, "Irrklang.lib")

nothing is working i am starting to want to give up I think that if i can get the engine to work i would be perfect for me what that is if i get it setup ever any help?

oh and i am just trying to run a hello world project nothing fancy

the exact error is

fatal error LNK1120: 3 unresolved externals

You have to set the paths to the libraries. If you are using VS, the only libraries it can find without help are the MS ones. Also, "fatal error LNK1120: 3 unresolved externals" is usually not enough - you should show the next three lines, that is, the symbols that can't be resolved. If you want help setting the linker paths, try googling "Linker Error: LNK2001 unresolved external symbol".

you can try to copy irrlicht.dll to you debug/release directory.
