Error when using C::B irrlicht wizard

Post by ericthered »

I'm running the latest Code::Blocks on Ubuntu. I run the irrlicht project wizard, and when I get to the step where I enter irrlicht's path, I get this error:

The path you entered seems valid, but this wizard
can't locate the following Irrlicht's include file:
irrlicht.h in it.

Almighty Google tells me nothing. :?

But the forum search does. Try
"The AND path AND you AND entered AND seems AND valid"
without the quotes.
"Whoops..."

When using code::blocks, do something like this:

-Create an empty project. A console project if you wish to have the console showing messages, or a Window project, if you don't wish so.

-Set the Irrlicht libraries and includes in the search paths on the project properties, not in the Code::Blocks environment, that way you won't mess the compiler settings. RMB Click on the project's name, and search for something like "Project Build Options", and there, set the library, and the search path.

The wizard is a bit clumsy, so, don't rely on it.
