problems with Irrlicht – mastallama

MastaLlama Member Posts: 671 From: Houston, TX USA Registered: 08-10-2005	Hey everybody, After takin' a look at steveth45.net, i decided to download Irrlicht and see what tutorials it came with. The only problem is, I can't get anything - even the HelloWorld program to compile. I'm using Dev-C++ and I tried setting the compiler options to point to the irrlicht files and I tried copying the irrlicht files into the Dev-C++ folders (\bin\, \lib\, \include\) and it still didn't work. Any ideas??? ------------------ http://www.jeremysouthard.org

MastaLlama Member Posts: 671 From: Houston, TX USA Registered: 08-10-2005	Well, I dunno, because the errors I'm getting aren't on the .cpp file, they're errors in the .h files that come with Irrlicht. Here's the errors from the Compiler tab of Dev-C++ Line Unit Message 33 e:\dev-c~1\include\irrlicht.h from e:\progra~1\irrlic~1\examples\01_hel~1\main.cpp:42: 217 e:\dev-c~1\include\aabbox3d.h unknown escape sequence '\D' 217 e:\dev-c~1\include\aabbox3d.h unknown escape sequence '\I' Like i said...i dunno ------------------ http://www.jeremysouthard.org
Briant Member Posts: 742 From: Stony Plain, Alberta, Canada Registered: 01-20-2001	Well, line 33 of irrlicht.h is the #include for aabbox3d.h, so the next two error messages are where the problem really is. I've looked at line 217 of aabbox3d.h, and it's blank in the copy I found (right before some ascii art of a cube), so maybe you have a different version of the file. What does your copy of that file say from lines 210 to 225? ------------------ Brian "OOP programmers have a lot of class"

MastaLlama Member Posts: 671 From: Houston, TX USA Registered: 08-10-2005	yeah, i'll do that. I'm hopin' steveth45 sees this topic too, he's using irrlicht on his current project. ------------------ http://www.jeremysouthard.org
MastaLlama Member Posts: 671 From: Houston, TX USA Registered: 08-10-2005	whoa...i just took out the comments in that section, and it compiled! But, now in the Compiler & Linker output i get: C:\DOCUME~1\Jeremy\LOCALS~1\Temp\ccADaaaa.o(.text+0x172):main.cpp: undefined reference to `import stub for irr::createDevice(irr::video::E_DRIVER_TYPE, irr::core::dimension2d<int> const &, unsigned int, bool, bool, bool, irr::IEventReceiver , unsigned wchar_t const )' nothing in the error window though ------------------ http://www.jeremysouthard.org

MastaLlama Member Posts: 671 From: Houston, TX USA Registered: 08-10-2005	wooo! after about 7 tries messing with settings, i got it! only problem is, i had to give the full path to the .h file... #include "E:\irrlicht-0-12-0\include\irrlicht.h" but then it turned out i had a "\" at the end of the path in the Project Options dialog, it had to be E:\irrlicht-0-12-0\include not E:\irrlicht-0-12-0\include\ hee hee, thanks guys!!!! ------------------ http://www.jeremysouthard.org
