Irrlicht Engine

Excuse me, I tried to compile irrlicht source in Windows use VC++6.0. It's very simple, just clicking on compile button in project workspace of irrlicht source. All of thing were fluently, no errors and no warnings. When I used the product which was compiled, the examples application don't run. It was notify that there was not driver in the product which was compiled. I don't know how to compile irrlicht source with driver embedded in it. Anybody tried to do this? Can you help me?

Which version of Irrlicht?

What is the exact error message that you get when you run the apps?

With VC6 and any newer DX SDK the D3D9 driver is disabled, because it's not supported (at least that's what the note in IrrCompileConfig.h says). But D3D8 should work.

Hmm, it seems a bit strange to define it conditionally only to undef it later based on another conditional, but the logic gets a bit tortuous otherwise.

The error message is "DIRECT3D9 Driver was not compiled into this dll". I chose Direct 3D8 dirver, it's working fine. But the Irrlicht engine which was previous compiled by the author has direct 3d9 driver embedded in it. I don't understand this problem, why the author disabled the direct 3d9 driver? How to compile irrlicht source with direct 3d9 embedded in it?

search the forum for IrrDX and you'll be provided with a thread that contains dlls with DX9 compiled in for all versions of irrlicht

1) Use a compiler written in this millennium. Microsoft Visual C++ Express is freely available.

2) Use the October 2004 DXSDK and Extras.

3) Lobby Microsoft to re-enable support for VC6 in their latest DXSDK. While you're at it, get Alyson Hannigan to return my calls.

Thank you! I will try
