DevC++: Can't run Irrlicht 0.10 with DX8/9

[ayman]

Now I searched the forum for one hour but couldn't find a solution.

I had Irrlicht v0.8 installed on my Dev-C++ (4.9.9.1) and all was running well. Today I changed to Irrlicht 0.10.0, copied the new Irrlicht.dll into the search path ... but now no executable using any DirectX-drivers is able to run.
Compiling works without any errors.

All I get is this message:

DirectX9 Driver was not compiled into this dll. Try another one.
Error: Could not load built-in Font.

I remember I had the same problem, when I installed my first DX9c onto my old DX8.1. I was using Irrlicht 0.8 at that time. Somebody offered a ZIP file with a special Irrlicht.dll. This one had support for my DX8.1 and DX9c DLLs for Dev-C++ in it. Now it seems I need the same service again.

Who can help? Who can support me with this dll-package I obviously need.

Thanks for your help.

P.S.
There should be a better (more current) tutorial on how to install the actual Irrlicht release on Dev-C++.
Cause the "Tutorial 1.b Setting up the Dev-C++ IDE" doesn't do the job any more for me and The DevPack doesn't work either (doesn't find a single include).

Irrlicht 0.10.0 dll was compiled without DX support due to EULA licence ...

if you want to use DX with Irr 0.10.0 you have to recompile it with DX support (using DX sdk) or chek older posts on this forum iremember that someone posted a zipfile with irrlichtDLL that support directX ....

anyway, if you can, i recomend you to use OpenGL since it's better than D3D and cross-platform

I don't agree with KAd about dx and ogl, but that's another story.

Here is a post in the tools section about adding dx support in Irr 08 I understand some people have had problems getting it to work tho.
Give it a try and see.
