[SOLVED] Error Compiling With IrrPhysX- JP Stay Cool

I couldn't get SPE to work with Irrlicht, so I decided to try IrrPhysX the PhysX wrapper. But I get this error when trying to compile the MeshExample:
Code: Select all
error LNK1181: cannot open input file '../../../../irrlicht-1.4.2/lib/win32-visualstudio/irrlicht.lib'
Well, I added
Code: Select all
#pragma comment(lib, "Irrlicht.lib")
but I still get the error. I have set up my compiler to locate Irrlicht 1.4.2/lib/win32... and to located the proper PhysX directories, but it still won't compile. My compiler is MSVC 2008, if anyone can take a sec to let me know the issue.

Your compiler thinks otherwise. I'd check those paths again.

I'm not saying you're wrong Rogerborg, But I have the linker set to
Code: Select all
C:\lib\irrlicht-1.4.2\irrlicht-1.4.2\lib\Win32-visualstudio
which is where the irrlicht lib is located, I've checked and rechecked.

C:\lib\irrlicht-1.4.2\irrlicht-1.4.2\lib\Win32-visualstudio
Wait, you have two folders in a row called "irrlicht-1.4.2" ?

yeah, its the way I extracted the compressed Irrlicht sdk file, it shouldn't effect the compilation though. This happens on none of my projects and their setup the same way.

Don't you have to tell it the actual lib in that path too? That's how i always do it... Not sure where those pragma comments work, it's either just GCC or just MSVC...

Yeah usually they do work on MSVC 2008, but I'll try it that way.

Well, I'm not saying you're wrong either. I'm quoting your compiler.
I'm puzzled as to where this path is coming from: "../../../../irrlicht-1.4.2/lib/win32-visualstudio/irrlicht.lib". Since you were getting that
before you added the pragma, I'd guess that you've actually got that path in your project options, e.g. under:
Properties -> Configuration Properties -> Linker -> Input -> Additional Dependencies.

The /../../blahblah thing looks like what i put into the project to link to where my irrlicht installation is... so maybe it's not been changed at all or been changed in the wrong place...

You put a path into IrrPhysX?
I think we have a winner!

lol, well, he put the paths of the project's additional dependencies into the "additional dependencies" path, so yes he did. Usually that field is left blank, but I see why he did it, because the MeshExample sample uses three or four .lib dependencies. I fixed it and its compiling properly now, thanks everyone.
