Can somebody post an step by step tutorial about how to set up a VC project? I checked the tutorial, but I still have some doubts about type of application and some other parameters.

Tutorial 1 is a step by step VC tutorial. What doubts do you have exactly?

Type of application (console, win32 application), pointer to classes (dont remember exactly the name of parameter).
The problem is that i created a project, but i got tons of errors, some of them concerning the engine and so on.

i just created an empty win32 console and things worked fine. Did you set your paths correctly?

In fact it is easy to create EMPTY project (console or windows) using Irrlicht, but it's not so easy to create e.g. MFC project with Irrlicht. I mean application with MFC support.

It is possible to make MFC-applicable version of irrlicht. AFAIK you need to change the source code...

I had such a problem and I solved it by declaring createDevice function out of irr namespace. I know that the purpose of this namespace is to collect all data about Irrlicht in "one place" to avoid function duplications and so on... But that was the only way to build MFC dll. Otherwise I had a linker error about unresolved external symbol irr::createDevice... Converting from C++ to C linkage didn't help...

Tell me, please, if you know a better way...
