Dev C++ Compilation Error

Post by dbzprogrammer »

When I try and compile the simple tutorials, I get this error message;

c:\mydocu~1\quake.cpp:1: irrlicht.h: No such file or directory

Quake.cpp is what I called my file when I saved it. I've checked the project directories in options and they're all correct. I don't really understand what it's telling me.

Thanks.

make sure that you've included the proper directories 'includes/', 'bin/' etc as apart of your project (or IDE) settings.

In the options menu or in the actual code?

I tried the options and it still doesn't compile.

Can anybody help? I really want to be able to use Irrlicht. I copied the files from the bin folder in DevCpp to Irrlicht>bin>DevCpp and made sure all the file directories are correct. I still can't run the program. It keeps telling me that irrlicht.h doesn't exist, even though I've told the compiler it's in Irrlicht>include and checked it is there.

Well I would, but that's for WinXP. I'm currently running Win98. Any tutorials for my OS?

Thanks anyway.

it will work for you too. theres nothing WinXP-specific about it. (though in Win2k, you'd use winnt/system32 instead of windows/system32, for the .dll, I think)

Maybe the version of your Dev-C++? I have Win2000 and Dev-C++ 4.9.8.5, and it looks about the same as in the tut.
