cannot find exe?

Post by KarneeKarnay »

I've recently moved onto Visual Studios 2012 and since then I've had this weird bug. Can you guys help me? When I try to run the example of my own code it appears.

IMHO using Visual Studios isn't really worth it. Codeblocks is way more flexible and a lot more widely used (at least from what I have seen) with Irrlicht.

I see the project on the left but it is not expanded. Do you have source code there?

I haven't used 2012 but I have used the two three previous ones. Though they get increasingly worse (I blame .NET) they are quite usable. I think you may have set the project up incorrectly. Go into the Irrlicht source and open the HelloWorld project there. VS should migrate the project for you.

KarneeKarnay: That link don't show an error here, just some photobucket advertisment. Maybe use imgur for posting - I think they keep images around a little longer.

I think in svn trunk we already got vs2012 files by now, so you could also switch to that if you want.

@Mitchell: Please don't post into threads just to tell people their work-environment is the problem when they ask specific questions. This is neither helpful nor very friendly. We do support VS and I've even just installed VS 2012 myself last week.

Can you repost the image?

Having compiled Irrlicht with VS 2012 since i started using it, I may be able to help you out. Otherwise usually when I couldn't make the .exe it was because I wasn't including the lib or include file in the Project Properties properly. That is the first step.

Sorry for the lack of response guys. RL got in the way. Here is the image again from another provider.

If the link doesn't show, the error I have is that the system cannot find the exe (in this case the HelloWorld.exe, This is the example that comes with Irrlicht when you download it.). This is weird as I thought the exe would just be built when the project was.Any ideas?
