just did the first tutorial and I'm getting an error.
"this application has failed to start because Irrlicht.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem."
I added the section of code that is supposed to bypass setting it up in project settings "#pragma comment(lib, "Irrlicht.lib")" and still got this error.
how do I make it find the dll?
what is the process for setting up what that bypasses in visual studio 6.0?
the first tutorial should explain the basics of using a compiler and anything that needs to happen with the irrlicht folder or anything in it. I'm not even sure if I'm compiling it correctly.
It would be the same process as a C++ helloworld.cpp program correct?
any help on this?
Irrlicht.dll Error
Here's what you should do.
Look at the hello world tutorial. Create a folder called "hello world" or whatever. Copy the "irrlicht.dll" into that folder as well as all the media that you need "sydney.md2, sydney.bmp". Now where the code has "../../media/sydney.md2" and "../../media/sydney.bmp", get rid of the "../../media/". Copy the rest of the code exactly as is.
Now, go through the steps that explain how to tell your compiler to look in the 'include' folder and for the "Irrlicht.lib" file. Now, compile it. It should work.
NOTE: the DLL has to be in the same folder as the executable. (But in VC++, if you have a folder c:\helloWorld and the executable is in c:\helloWorld\Debug you can just copy irrlicht.dll into c:\helloWorld and then run the executable from inside VC++. But if you are running it manually (double-clicking on it in explorer, etc), irrlicht.dll needs to be in the same directory as the executable.[/b]

ok cool I think I understand the concept there having installed alot of mods for other games.
the problem is I don't understand my compiler.
My compiler help files are messed up atm and I can't find anything to actually teach me coding.
I could handle coding basic peramiters and such but I'm still a programming Noob.
I've done the basic c++ helloworld tutorial a few times now and even learned a few things beyond that but I'm still far from building even a simple USEFUL program.
does anyone know where some really good slightly advanced C++ tutorials are? I can only seem to find the very basic stuff.
or maybe just talk about how to compile everything correctly?
I'll learn the harder coding later but I need to understand compilation a bit better for now.
