Hi!

The following error drives me crazy... What iam doing wrong?


------ Build started: Project: Irrlicht, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------

I hope thats enough information

Did you download MS Platform SDK? There are some header files required from it.

also check this thread:
http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/ ... c&start=30

and here:
http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/ ... c&start=45

Check Baal Cadar's quote:

Step 4. Update the corewin_express.vsprops file.

You just need to take one more step(..) You need to edit the corewin_express.vsprops file (found in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\VCProjectDefaults) and change the string that reads:

AdditionalDependencies="kernel32.lib"

to

AdditionalDependencies="kernel32.lib user32.lib gdi32.lib winspool.lib comdlg32.lib advapi32.lib shell32.lib ole32.lib oleaut32.lib uuid.lib"

I think this will fix your prob.

Hmm... I had the same error and adding libs didn't solve the problem. In the end I went into CSoftwareDriver.cpp and duplicated the code near the bottom:

Code: Select all

IVideoDriver* createSoftwareDriver(const core::dimension2d<s32>& windowSize, bool fullscreen, io::IFileSystem* io, video::IImagePresenter* presenter)
{
	return new CSoftwareDriver(windowSize, fullscreen, io, presenter);
}

and then renamed the function like so:

Code: Select all

IVideoDriver* createSoftwareDriver2(const core::dimension2d<s32>& windowSize, bool fullscreen, io::IFileSystem* io, video::IImagePresenter* presenter)
{
	return new CSoftwareDriver(windowSize, fullscreen, io, presenter);
}

It simply can't find the routine createSoftwareDriver2 when it tries to link. So I just gave it a dummy one based on the createSoftwareDriver function since I don't expect to use any of the software video drivers...

BIG THX!

I opened the "Irrlicht7.1.vcproj" with VS Express 2005 and changed the following:

Code: Select all



Go to : C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\VCProjectDefaults

open "corewin_express.vsprops" (XML-File)

replace

AdditionalDependencies="kernel32.lib"

with

AdditionalDependencies="kernel32.lib user32.lib gdi32.lib winspool.lib comdlg32.lib advapi32.lib shell32.lib ole32.lib oleaut32.lib uuid.lib"

oh yes! you're right on that one too. Irrlicht's 0.14 VC8 project has got some errors so opening and converting the 7.1 project will compile with no problems.

Also, Duncan Mac Leod uploaded a working (corrected) MSVC8 project here:

here's the thread:
