Problem with compiling the Irrlicht.dll

zyclop · Post by **zyclop** » Mon Jan 21, 2008 10:13 am

Hi, I watched the vid how to compile Irrlicht, but:
1. Some links are dead, so can't get needed files
and
2. I want to get the Irrlicht.dll with DevC++

in the /source/irrlicht/ folder is already a project file. But it doesn't work!

Info: Platform: Windows Vista Home Premium
Irrlicht-Version: 1.4
IDE: DevC++

Can someone help me please?! Or give me the compiled dll and the Lib file?!

You can search in the FAQ forum for the precompiled version with D3D support (the other one is already contained in the SDK). However, in order to use th elib you'll have to compile anyway. So better get used to your compiler.
You don't need any files to compile Irrlicht other than the SDK and your compiler. Be sure to use the latest Dev-C++ version (5beta, aka 4.9.9.2, or later). In case you get error messages post them here to get more help.

Or you can try my IrrExtensions !!!

You don't need to add any of my extensions, but the program sets the Irrlicht project files up for compiling...

If you're new to C++, reading error messages and compiling stuff, do yourself a favour and use Microsoft Visual C++ Express!

I used to use Dev-C++ myself, but switching to MSVC++ has saved me more hours than I could ever count. I promise you, even if you hate Microsoft you'll love their debugger.

I'm not a a Microsoft fanboy, I'll stop endlessly repeating this advice as soon as there is something that can compete with their visual debugger.

Ditto. If it helps, think of it as sticking it to the man by 133ch0rz1ng his w4r3z. When I have to use a gdb-front end (or raw gdb) now it feels like I'm trying to debug by bashing a rock against the source and listening to the echo.

Theres a GDB front-end?!? What package in the repository???
(all this time I have been trying to use GDB in the console)

Ok here is my Error Report:

Code: Select all

ld: dllcrt2.o: No such file: No such file or directory

C:\Dev-Cpp\bin\dllwrap.exe: no export definition file provided.
Creating one, but that may not be what you want
C:\Dev-Cpp\bin\dllwrap.exe: c++ exited with status 1
C:\Dev-Cpp\bin\make.exe: *** [../../bin/Win32-gcc/test/Irrlicht.dll] Error 1

The file "dllcrt2.o" is available in dicrectory: "C:\Dev-Cpp\lib\"

I don't know what i can do -_-
