compiling troubles

[squareball]

I tried doing the tutorial
http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/ ... php?t=5813

but it couldn't compile

Code: Select all

  cannot find -ljpeg 
  ld returned 1 exit status 
 ...\Irrlicht\Makefile.win [Build Error]  [Irrlicht.dll] Error 1 

I followed the instructions as shown in the tutorial, and I'm using dev-cpp 4.9.9.2

perhaps u could look at the sourse to that link that u used
This should be the solution to the problem
its not simple though..

lmao, got it to finally work with dx8 and dx9...but I also found that it disabled opengl

Rather than open with opengl, it just closes, as it normally does to dx when it's not supported.
Oh well, I'm too tired tonight to work on it: maybe I'll tinker with it tomorrow after work.

Thanks for the link, btw.

That is an important isue! -ty.

Ok, I figured it out: both tuts are missing one step to enable opengl support.

In Project Options, Parameters, Linker...
Throw in libopengl32.a from the devcpp\lib directory.
