Direct X problem

Requiem · Post by **Requiem** » Tue Mar 27, 2007 11:58 am

Hi, i hav a problem when running my program with direct x driver either 8.1 or 9.. The error i've got is that "Driver is not compile into this dll"
When i compile and run the existing example on irrlicht I get the same error of driver not compile in it.
But when I execute the bin and use the direct X driver It work perfectly well

Someone know how I could fix this error??

Read the FAQ or directly recompile the library with DirectX support.

if you need DirectX support, goto http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/ ... hp?t=20203 to download the DLL and lib files, but this is for Visual C++ express edition 2005.

if your refering to the VC++ 2005 express edition Lib files then put the files in your {irrlicht path}\lib\Win32-visualstudio folder and put the DLL in the folder where the exe will be compiled.

have you set VC++ 2005 to run win32 apps first btw? I'm not sure if you need to do this first or not. try it first and see what it does.

I dont use DevC++, switch to CodeBlocks - they are actively developing this and producing updates / patches constantly!
