Compiling Hello World for the first time....

[coderwannabe67]

I'm using Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0. I created a new win32 app (empty). Added the hello world main and used the include and lib in my directories. Hit compile and received this error:

please advise....Thankyou!

Microsoft Visual Studio 6 is no longer supported, but there is Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition, which is free.

[coderwannabe67]

Thanks Twilight, I agree. I downloaded it today, but since I'm not use to how it works, compared to visual 6.0, I only built the projects that were available in irrlicht's folders. They worked fine!

I'm trying to do hello world, like the tutorial, but I can't find where to do the include directories and lib, like it was in visual 6.0, using the options directories tab.

[venomzx]

i'm using vs2008pro but i expect it is the same

include directories:
Project Properties > C/C++ > General > Additional Include Directories

lib directories:
Project Properties > Linker > General > Additional Library directories

lib files:
Project Properties > Linker > Input > Additional Dependencies
