I download the tree source code,and when I build it,there is a error:fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'irrlicht.h': No such file or directory,why? what can i do?

Probably because you didn't tell your compiler where the include files are to be found.

Have a look at the html-file in the first Irrlicht-tutorial.

If you work in Visual C++ 7 or later (2003 or later) , you go to the Tools tab. From there you select Options. A window is going to appear. There is a list there, on the left. Scroll down and open the tab Projects and Solutions. From the list that appears under the tab, select VC++ Directories.

On the upper right part of the window there is going to be a box . Above it is a label named : Show Directories For:
<1> Beneath that there is a scroll box.
click on it and select "Include Files".

Ok. Now. Beneath the scroll box there is a button that looks like a folder that has an * in the upper right of it. (the new button )

ok. click on it.

in the box beneath the button there is going to appear a blank space and on it's right side a button labeled "..."

click on it and browse to the path : <irrlicht directory>\include\

ok. now go back to the <1> label that i put in this post.

from there do exactly what it says next, except for:

instead of "Include Files" go to the tab "Library Files"
and then browse to the path <irrlicht directory>\lib\win32-visualstudio\

. that's it

now follow the tutorials
