hello
this is mostly not irrlicht but i would suspect that if there is a solution it would be known here -I get a win popup when i try to run
the basted thing is modal *grr*
I suspect that the error some way lies in the resourse -an image
I would SO like to read the error debug string that i for a split second see flashing away in the console
Can i 'peek' into the console (no...)
Can i catch the console content in a nifty way ..a file???
The problem is in Emil Halim 2d sprite class demo
Nice (btw - some small errors needs fixing)
t.y.

Depends on your compiler.

MSVC (at least the IDE version) supports debugging. It may dump you back in assembly code, but it will allow you to at least find out the line and it may allow you to inspect the local variables.

Otherwise, maybe you can get a version of the Gnu debugger (gdb) for Windows.

If you can't get that, I'm afraid you'll just have to do a lot of printfs to the console (or log to a textfile) to determine where the error occurs.

With either of the last two options, you'll have to start a console window manually - because if it is opened automatically, the window is closed automaticallyas well.

If it's just the contents of the console you might use a pipe to more or redirection to a file. If I recall correctly Windows is using the same syntax as Unix systems, i.e. use
myprog.exe | more
to pipe to more or
myprog.exe >out.txt
to redirect to a file.

unfourtunately no file is created

Kind of a quick and dirty approach, and sorta lame but does the trick.

I had this issue with something else a while back, I used some video editing software that allows you to capture your desktop and it's contents, cranked up the fps, ran the program, and then viewed the movie frame by frame till i saw when the error popped up. Maybe this'll help you.

I know it's lame, but i got what i needed to know quck.

That's strange. If you go to the windows console and run

myprog.exe >stdout.txt 2>stderr.txt

then 2 files should be created, normally...

What compiler do you use?

Which windows do you use?

@Reverie
-i had that thought -but ..as u says ;)

@jox
i know why it does not work
to many param -eg files is in to deep in the filetree
changing that will be ..less amusing ;)
my tech specs is in my signature, 98 can propl not use such a long cmd string -couriously -WIN386.SWP grew as did a couple of other bug files
