[SOLVED]A doubt about the Irrlicht on the Code::Blocks

battousaihimura · Post by **battousaihimura** » Fri Mar 31, 2006 1:57 pm

Hi, I'm a noob user of both Irrlicht and Code::Blocks (before I used to program with Dev C/C++). I was reading the tutorial to how setup the engine on the Code::Blocks IDE (this one -> http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/tut_codeblocks.html, but I have a doubt on the step 5. There it says to add some libraries to the project, but I don't know if I just have to put the name of the lib or put the path to them. Since I didn't find the path to them, I just put their name... but the IDE didn't find the compiler... Can anyone help me on this? Thanks ^__^x

those libs you type in the name (or copy-paste them from the tut) one by one followed by enter. But you must have the MS sdk installed and properly setup in your system for them to be found.

If you're using C::B with MinGW you have to use the same as for DevC++ (it's the same compiler)

Anyway, thnx for the help ^^x

as they said... do you have it installed?

darkfox is right: Either you haven't installed MSVC toolkit or you haven't run vcvars32.bat in the VCToolit directory to adjust system paths.

You can also add the path manually:(in your environment variables, in system variables' PATH:)
C:\PROGRAM FILES\MICROSOFT VISUAL C++ TOOLKIT 2003\BIN

Sometimes you may have the Toolkit installed and the error still occurs.
Just try to fix exactly what it is saying. Maybe you did not install the Compiler in the default directory and C::B did not look for it in a different location.

Just check your compiler options -> programms tab if the setup path is correct

I have found the error...
I'm brazilian, so, here the path to the VC toolkit is this one:
C:\Arquivos de programas\Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003

and not this one, that was the default in the C::B:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003

so I just have to change the path to the VCTollkit.

Thnx everyone for the help =)

Right, C::B comes with only MinGW !!!
All other supported compiler you have to download and install first...
