Irrlicht->Dev-C++->DX8 problem

As I stated beforehand, you may need to make a modification ( see my previous post ). For DLL, you must also need to add them in your project, just try to play around with the settings and find out where dll files are defined for ypur project. You should be really more careful ( if it doesn't find your dll, it is because your output makefile doesn't acknowledge it, so you must add them in the settings )

I don't know if the other libs i posted here were useful, anyway here are the DirectX8-enhanced libs that i use with Dev-C++ :

Yeah, they're useful...(I just downloaded'em) (been along time since someone replied to this thread

)

Hi !

I also can't compile the engine at my pc (Win2K Prof. + DevCpp 4.9.8.5 + MingW + Gcc 3.3.1). It brakes while linking and shows this message:

mingw32-make.exe: *** [Irrlicht.dll] Error 255

Does anyone have suggestions for solving this problem ?

Whoa, alot of errors there. . . did you go by the Dev-C++ tutorial??

This is the infamous "The input line is too long" error. I had to make a batch procedure like this:
DLLWRAPDX.BAT:

Code: Select all

dllwrap.exe --output-def ../bin/DevCpp/libIrrlicht.def --driver-name c++ --implib ../bin/DevCpp/libIrrlicht.a *.o -L"C:/Programmi/Dev-Cpp/lib" -L"jpeglib" -L"zlib" --no-export-all-symbols --add-stdcall-alias -lgdi32 -lglu32 -lopengl32 -ld3d8 -ld3dx8d -ljpeg -lz  -o ../bin/DevCpp/Irrlicht.dll

Now, I must first compile from Dev-C++ interface, then launch dllwrapdx.bat from a console box.

By the way, I compiled the engine to work with DX8 in Dev-C++ and all is OK... but a small issue: addAmbientLight does nothing at all.

Meanwhile I've managed it with a modified MAKEFILE, in which all the objects given to dllwrap are replaced by a *.o (@madinitaly: I had read your thread due to this, thanks ...)

Now the Irrlicht DLL has got a size of 1 MB ! And thats too much as the downloadable versions from NOP have only about 25 % of this size.

Any suggestions how to manage this ?

The configs I use now in the MAKEFILE are:

CXXFLAGS = -s $(CXXINCS)-D__GNUWIN32__ -W -DWIN32 -DNDEBUG -D_WINDOWS -D_MBCS -D_USRDLL -DIRRLICHT_EXPORTS -mcpu=i686 -O3

CFLAGS = -s $(INCS)-D__GNUWIN32__ -W -DWIN32 -DNDEBUG -D_WINDOWS -D_MBCS -D_USRDLL -DIRRLICHT_EXPORTS -mcpu=i686 -O3

$(BIN): $(LINKOBJ)
$(DLLWRAP) --output-def $(DEFFILE) --driver-name c++ --implib $(STATICLIB) Objects/*.o $(LIBS) -o $(BIN)

Greetings, Thomas

Someone owuldn't happen to have an updated DLL with DX8 for Dev-C++ would ya?

I have one (the one in my project's page), but there are two flaws:
-DX8: setAmbientLight () has no effect at all.
-DX9: problem with mipmapping: can't create textures
