Dev-C++ problems

[Lightning Willy]

I am using Dev-C++ 5 and when I compile the irrlicht dll without changing anything in the source code files, the compilation is succesful but the size of the output file is 0 KB. Here is my log-

Maybe the Irrlicht DevPak created by stoffe new helps?

I don't know if that is the problem. I'm thinking this could possibly be it but I don't know how to fix it: C:\DEV-CPP\BIN\DLLWRAP.EXE: Must provide at least one of -o or --dllname options

Exactly what have you done? I did this right now:

* Unpacked 0.5 source
* Opened Irrlicht.dev
* Opened project settings and changed:
** Library directories to "jpeglib" and "zlib" (relative paths)
** Include directory to "include" (relative path)
* Hit CTRL-F9 (Compile)

And it just worked, built a nice fine DLL for me.

If you have no need for building the library yourself, but just intend to use it, you don't need to bother with this though, everything you need is already built, or you could take the really easy route and get the mentioned DevPak - it is upgraded to 0.6 now.
