Compiling Irrlicht 1.7.1 Source (DEV-C++, maybe others)

Post by [DEF] »

Hi guys,

When opening the .dev project, dev-c++ is complaining about missing files, some of which ARE there, but with slightly different names, e.g:

Octree.h needs to be renamed to OctTree.h
COctreeSceneNode.h needs to be renamed to COctTreeSceneNode.h
COctreeSceneNode.cpp needs to be renamed to COctTreeSceneNode.cpp
COctreeTriangleSelector.h needs to be renamed to COctTreeTriangleSelector.h
COctreeTriangleSelector.cpp needs to be renamed to COctTreeTriangleSelector.cpp

And missing files in \source\Irrlicht\jpeglib\
- jchuff.h
- jdhuff.h

Just letting you guys know :) (and also if the jpeglib files are important?)

Thanks.

:EDIT: Tried compiling with Code::Blocks and the files need NOT be renamed.. I think just editing the Irrlicht.dev will solve things here.
Still not sure about the jpeglib files though, since Code::Blocks doesn't complain :S

Does the IDE complain about the missing files? Under Windows it should not make any difference (filenames are not case sensitive), maybe DevC++ does use string comparisms? Anyway, as DevC++ isn't developed any more I would strongly recommend sticking the Code::Blocks, which is really fine.

Haha yeah, Dev-C++ is getting a bit dusty now, was the first IDE I ever used (it has love :P)
After about two years of giving Irrlicht a break, I decided to come back to it for some projects (and I'm not going through all the trouble of setting up OGRE again lol)
But yeah, I think I'll start using Code::Blocks more often now, I agree it really is a great IDE :D

Just one thing though, the two jpeglib files (jchuff.h, jdhuff.h) aren't in the source, so I guess they aren't important :P (Code::Blocks doesn't complain about them)
I guess the Dev-C++ project file was outdated.

Well, thats all well and done :D haha, thanks :)
