Irrlicht Engine

Posted: **Wed Nov 17, 2004 6:43 am**

Hi all,

I try to build the irrlicht dll and fail.

Irrlicht fatal error LNK1104: Datei 'libci.lib' kann nicht geöffnet werden

What I use:
- VC++ 2003
- DX SDK 9c

MSDN says that libci.lib contains the old-style iostream objects. I searched the sources and did not find any references to stream objects.

Can anyone shed light onto this?

Thanks! ...thomas

Just add libci.lib to your Ignored Libraries. It isn't needed to compile Irrlicht. Thx for asking, from now on this will go in the FAQ

Right click on your Irrlicht project, go to Properties-Linker and add the library to exclude.

Here's a shot:

Why is libci.lib being requested in the first place? I know the fix, but why is the linker unhappy in the first place?
Thank

From what Google taught me: libci.lib has been renamed to libcp.lib since VS.NET 2003 but is still being used by DirectX8 (which is pre-2003). As it doesn't exist in VS.NET 2003 you get a link error and it is safe to ignore it.
