i never understood why you make this though :D people who are not able to build a library with a given "10-step-tutorial" should not be doing game-dev anyways :? or am i wrong with that?

Hmm, well, mainly I made it just for my own needs...
Because I'm using several different Irrlicht dlls for different projects I was bored for editing and recompiling the engine manually...
So I created this tool to be able to do this all with just a fiew mouse clicks...

And because in the forum there are nearly every day questions about recompiling Irrlicht, I thought this tool could help other people as well...

btw, there is another project avilable (patcher) that creates a patch file by comparing the unmodified and modified files. Then you can use this patch file to make the changes with your source files...
But I don't think this tool is as save in use as my tool !!! ;)
In my oppinion the patch files are depanding to much on the creators file system... :?

Hmm, seems you don't know patches that well. The patches just require the same relative positions on both systems. Since I make all my patches based on the original source structure (i.e. the dir Irrlicht with subdirectory include/ ) you'll always get them running unless you really screw up everything. If you issue the patch command with parameter -p1 you just have to be in the Irrlicht dir and everything will working on every system. Trust me.
BTW: The patch tool is probably about 30 years old, I'm just preparing the diffs, not the tool.

that's the lack I was thinking of... ;)

@gfxstyler: no, no, you're damn right, recompiling "by hand" should be no problem for anybody who wants to code complex games !!! ;)

@Sudi: hmm, I'll check this... what Dev version do you use ???

But your program won't work either if the directory structure is messed up, right?

also patches is not really easy to use...
You have to open a console window, copy the patch files to the working directory and start patches for each single patch you want to add...
Or you make one single patch file with all patches included, but in this case you can't exclude or include single patches...

This is all irrelevant for IrrExtensions !!! 8)

Unfortunaly there are some bugs with the DevCpp project I'm working on...
The Code::Blocks project works 100% (I'm using it almost every day) !!!
!!! I recommend all DevCpp user to switch to Code::Blocks !!!
I also started with Dev and found it great...
But Code::Blocks is much, much better and similar to use !!!
(but be sure to use the nightly builds)

I just uploaded a debugged version...
Now DevCpp works, too (with any gcc version) !!!

The Dev problem was not the project file, nor my extensions, but the makefile was not created correctly...

@Sudi:
The first error you mentioned is a bug from Dev... ;)
If a project specifies an output folder and this folder does not exist Dev gives an "could not build executeable output directory" message !!!
So create the folder(s) or go to the project's properties page and set the output folder(s) new...
And the file that was missing doesn't natter, because it was an unused header file from the previous version and will not be compiled in any ways...

why :P ? i didnt critizise his tool. i appreciate his effort to help the ppl who dont want to build irrlicht manually or who just cant - but since this tool only works with a fresh irrlicht 1.0 (so if you added some files yourself, you face a problem) - or at least i think so - the use is limited :)

my previous post was basically a nicer and more friendly version of "newbies who aren´t able to build irrlicht theirselves shouldnt be in game-dev anyway" - and thats because game-dev is (usually) not as easy as just recompiling a library where you have a lot of tutorials flying around on how to do it.

anyway, lets end this here, i think i explained my post and i dont want to hijack his thread :D

btw: i think you should use codeblocks too! devc++ has a lot of annoying bugs (but unfortunately codeblocks doesnt seem to be really actively developed anymore - the progress is slow :/ )

see ya´ll later!

CoedeBlocks is verry active !!! ;)
Almost every day there is a new update avilable...

If you want to give C::B a try, first install the normal version:
http://www.codeblocks.org

Then load the latest nightly build (update) and replace all old files with it:

Now it supports Irrlicht V0.14 and V1.0 !!!

The Code::Blocks projekt file is corrected and the DevCpp project file should also work, so you need only to open the project file in C::B or Dev and click on "compile" !!!

The created project file for MSVC++ seems not to be correct (I don't own MSVC++ :oops: ) - maybe someone can tell me what's wrong with the setup... ;)
