[VIDEO TUTORIAL]Compiling the Irrlicht Engine

[afecelis]

Wildrj reported that the "Bin" folder from the platform SDK is also required to get a good compilation (in case you're not downloading the whole thing but using the compressed folders we're linking here), so if you're missing the folder you can grabbed it zipped here:
http://files.wildspad.com/afecelis/irrl ... es/Bin.zip

Uncompress it into your platform sdk folder.

regards,
Alvaro

LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file '..\..\bin\Win32-visualstudio\Irrlicht.dll'
Process terminated with status 1 (0 minutes, 2 seconds)
