error building irrlicht 1.1 with dev c++ 4.9.9.2

QtGraphDev · Post by **QtGraphDev** » Tue Aug 08, 2006 11:53 am

i'm trying to compile and build the latest irrlicht 1.1 release using Dev c++ 4.9.9.2 and the directX 9.0c devpak made by g-production but i got finally the link error
"C:\irrlicht-1.1\source\Irrlicht\Makefile.win [Build Error] [Irrlicht.dll] Error 255 "
i got the same error when trying irrlicht 1.0.

this is a problem with ms-dos not allowing >255 chars on a command line.
go into the build log, copy the failed command, replace the object file names with wildcards... so "a/a.o a/b.o a/c.o b/a.o b/b.o" becomes "a/*.o b/*.o", then run the last step manually through dos. or use code::blocks, which is actively being developed unlike dev-cpp

ok it compiled and builded succesuffly thanks to that.
but now can i use this newly created irrlicht.dll with any irrlicht app, i mean compiled and linked with VS 2005 or VS 2003 or MinGW ?

Are you using Win98 to compile your code, or why doesn't this happen to me when compiling with dev-c++?

Want something more weird ? This is what happens when I try to compile IrrLicht 1.1 source in DevC++ 4.9.9.2 with GCC 3.4 -.-"

I can fix the first problem (CNullDriver.h:345: error: ISO C++ forbids declaration of `IAttributes' with no type) by adding "IAttriutes.h", but I still get the "conflicting return error...

Ah, and DevC++ complains about two missing files "CImageLoaderMisc.cpp" and "CImageLoaderMisc.h"... but I suppose these have been removed, because I can't find them in the SVN repositry...

Ok, IAttributes have been added, the two files were removed from the project (came from my development version, just like the dev-c++ debug settings). But I don't understand the other problem, all declarations are the same.
