DirectX 9 for Dev-C++ in Irrlicht

[puh]

As I found there is a way to use DirectX 9 library for projects in Dev-C++,
see link for details.
Will it be possible to add DirectX functionality in Irrlicht.dll for Dev-C++?

I already thought about including D3D support also for Dev-C++. I'll try it out, and maybe it will be in in the next release.

It will be great! When it will be pure approximitely?

diffucult to say.. I think in about one month.

Amazing!
[off]How do you do several irrlicht.dll (for VC and Dev-C++)? You maintain 2 projects - one in VC and the other in Dev-C++?

I use the same source files, but a project file for VS and one for DevCpp.

[Guest]

so is it possible to take a vc++ 6.0 source code to a program and compile it in devc++ ?

[niko]

Sure, but with some restrictions. Some things work with Visual Studio which g++ does not like. For example declaring a method like this:

void foo(const& bar=Bar());

But there are not much constructs which work with one compiler and don't work with the other. If you don't use any of this, it will work with both compilers.
