Library.

[irrlichter]

Well I tryed again to fix the problems, everything working fine now but still the library is in trouble.

When compiling the Hello World tutorial I get this

--------------------Configuration: 01_tut_hello_world - Win32 Debug--------------------
Linking...
LIBCD.lib(wincrt0.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _WinMain@16
Debug/01_tut_hello_world.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
Error executing link.exe.

01_tut_hello_world.exe - 2 error(s), 0 warning(s)

The next strange thing is sometimes I don't get an exe file.
Can anybody tell me what i'm doing wrong?
I had set up all 3 directorys from the libraries.
Like:
D:\IRRLICHT-1.1\LIB\WIN32-VISUALSTUDIO
D:\IRRLICHT-1.1\LIB\WIN32-GCC
D:\IRRLICHT-1.1\LIB
Why does that wont work?
Thanks a lot guys.
No one?

You don't have to add all of Irrlicht's LIB directories (you shoudln't do it!).

Instead only add the sub directory that matches your compiler - I assume it's Visual Studio?

What does your main function look like? Is it a "main" or a "WinMain"?

You'll need one like this to compile your Project as a Win32 program:

Code: Select all

int __stdcall WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance,HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,LPSTR lpCmdLine,int nCmdShow )
{
  ...
}

Another solution: Change your project's application type to "Console".

Now i deleted the libraries exept of the irrlicht/lib.
He compiles it and i dont get an error but also no executable exe file.
I try to compile the hello world original example and this works fine.
If I try mine this doenst work.
Its yes its visual studio 6.0 and i start doing this with a win32 application.
adding there a main.cpp and writing there the code.

Code: Select all

using namespace irr;


using namespace core;
using namespace scene;
using namespace video;
using namespace io;
using namespace gui;


#pragma comment(lib, "Irrlicht.lib")



int main()
{
	

	IrrlichtDevice *device =
		createDevice( video::EDT_SOFTWARE2, dimension2d<s32>(640, 480), 16,
			false, false, false, 0);


	IVideoDriver* driver = device->getVideoDriver();
	ISceneManager* smgr = device->getSceneManager();
	IGUIEnvironment* guienv = device->getGUIEnvironment();

So I really must say i suck completltey now there.
i'm sorry for borthering you, thanks for helping.

Exchange your main() function with the one above. Win32 programs need a "WinMain", other programs are happy with a "main()".

[irrlichter]

hmmm it isnt aroudn the main.
Just tried another compiling it gaves me 0 errors and 0 warnings but he is telling me that he couldn't execute hello world.exe
If I compile the original hello world tutorial he gaves me the sydney mesh out like it should work normally.
I'm running against a wall now....

Your compiled executable is able to find the irrlicht.dll (right version)?

Your compiled executable is able to find the irrlicht.dll (right version)?

it was finally only the .dlls fault, i need it always when starting something with the irrlicht engine and the tutorials dont ask me why.
hey thanks lot guys.

hey thanks lot guys.

I am curious.

Did you really need 1.5+ years to figure out or are you just spamming the forums?
