Can anyone build techdemo in Visual C++? 100 errors...

[Wolf Dreamer]

Can anyone build techdemo in Visual C++?

I tried with the irrlicht version .5, the latest download, copying the most recent .dll into the windows\system\ and windows\system32\ just in case that mattered. But, alas, it doesn't compile.

When I first tried to load up the project it asked if I wanted to update it so I could use it with the current version of Visual Studios, and otherwise I could do nothing with it. So I agreed.

I have Microsoft Visual C++ .net Standard 2003.

Maybe you did not update your include directories in Visual Studio?

[keless]

I can tell by your StaticText error, that you're still linking against the old 0.4 version of the IrrLicht headers.

I click on View, I see property pages dulled out, me unable to select it.

I've been looking through the help, and apparently I need to be able to click that to update my include directories.

Any idea what to do?

The Visual C++ help files tell me to do something I can not do... its just odd.

[Wolf Dreamer]

Got to click on solutions menu to access view property pages. Doh!

If you have last clicked on the area with the code- or the code window is we technically sophisticated people call it- then its faded out in the View menu and you can not select it.

But clicking over on the solutions menu, provided it is open, then allows it to be selected in the View menu.

OK. Everything should work now. Thats just a rather strange error.

I posted over at game dev and stumbled upon it.

Back when using 4.0 ... or was it 4.1... anyway, I had copied all the header files .h into the Visual Studios\include\ folder. Doh! I erased them, and all the errors went away.


Although the battle was long and hard, mostly do to personal stupidity, I have alas emerged victorious. I will now go forth and begin my great adventure in game making, sure to take on many epic battles along the way, before slaying the evil beast that is reality, and make a dream take form with a kick ass massive multiplayer game.
