Trouble building the examples

Post by mhoot80 »

I tried following the readme that came with Irrlicht about adding the include files to your project and the dll and lib files...but after still getting the "fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'Irrlicht.lib'" error I looked in the Win32-visualstudio directory inside the /lib folder and there isn't anything there. Where is this Irrlicht.lib file if it's not where the readme said it should be?

I'm using irrlicht-1.5 by the way. I also tried it with irrlicht-1.4.2 and still there doesn't seem to be an Irrlicht.lib file. I even ran a file search through the entire irrlicht folder and no sign of Irrlicht.lib. Oh...I'm also using Visual Studio 2005 Professional. I'm hoping that I'm just an idiot and someone can show me the errors of my ways.

It's definitely there, unless you got the code from SVN. Then you have to build the library before you can use it to link against.
