    Strange Simple Error

    Code:
    // check for an error during the load process 
    if ( tex_2d == 0 )
    printf( "SOIL loading error: '%s'\n", SOIL_last_result() );

    \visual studio 2005\projects\domino\domino\domino.cpp(264) : error C2059: syntax error : 'if'
    I can't figure out how to solve this one.

    More code required. Especially the preceeding lines.

    Code:
    GLuint tex_2d = SOIL_load_OGL_texture
    	(
    		"img",
    		SOIL_LOAD_AUTO,
    		SOIL_CREATE_NEW_ID,
    		SOIL_FLAG_MIPMAPS | SOIL_FLAG_INVERT_Y | SOIL_FLAG_NTSC_SAFE_RGB | SOIL_FLAG_COMPRESS_TO_DXT
    	);
    	
    /* check for an error during the load process */
    if( 0 == tex_2d )
    {
    	printf( "SOIL loading error: '%s'\n", SOIL_last_result() );
    }
    There isn't more than this. All the other part of the program are working fine.

    And you have a file called "img", with no extension and that contains suitable data of a kind that the application can load?

    Compilers can produce warnings - make the compiler programmers happy: Use them!

    even with an extension I get the same error.

    Try printing the result message:
    Code:
    printf("SOIL loading error: '%s'\n", SOIL_last_result());
    Shamelessly copied from
