Hello,
I am new to this, I am trying to set dev up to run Irrlicht engine. The tut. I am useing said this:
For release 0.3, we can find the files we need in "irrlicht-0.3\lib\DevCpp. There are three files of interest:
********************************************
libIrrlicht.a -- the Irrlicht library
libjpeg.a -- the Independant JPEG group library
libz.a -- the zlib compression library
*********************************************

We're going to go ahead and add all three of these to our Dev-C++ project. To do that, go back to the "Project Options" dialog, and click on the "Parameters" tab. Something like the window below will appear. To add each of the required libraries, simply click the "Add Library or Object" button; use the file dialog to locate each of the libraries listed below, and then click okay, Once you have added all three, we're done, and you can click "Ok".

I can not find the files that the tut. is talking about.
Does anyone know where I can find the above files?

I have devC++ Version 4.9.0
and
Irrlicht Version 0.14.0
Thank You

The DLL's for the compiler Dev-c++ uses are in the bin/Win32-gcc folder, the static libs are in lib/Win32-gcc, that's all you need, that tutorial seems out of date.

Why didn't it work? There's nothing stopping you from setting this up in Dev-C++.

Try the one in my signature.
It may help.
All you have to do is to include the proper path to the include and lib files.

Compiling with dev-cpp is really easy. The tut in my sig is for irrlicht 0.10, but still applies.

In dev-cpp includes, include the "irrlicht0.14/includes" folder
lib "irrlicht0.14/lib/Win32-gcc/libirrlicht.a"

copy the irrlicht.dll from "irrlicht0.14/bin/Win32-gcc" folder to your project folder.

That's all there is to it.
