Irrlicht Engine

I've read that for using my3d files I must patch some classes in Irrlicht 0.12 and then recompile...is so?
I haven't linux: can someone give me an Irrlicht patched or explain how can I recompile irrlicht under Windows Xp with gcc ?

ehyyyy!!

There's a thread in another forum that deals with exactly this, if you're using windows, you shouldn't have a problem with My3D, or so I believe.

oh... thank you but I have a problem: irrlicht says invalid ID_HEADER
and doesn't load the mesh
