I downloaded the DirectX 8.1 SDK and installed it, but when I tried code from sunlightd.com I get these errors:

51 c:/dev-c_~1/include/objbase.h
from C:/DEV-C_~1/INCLUDE/ddraw.h:36,
7 drdw.cpp
C:/DEV-C_~1/INCLUDE/unknwn.h:23: `com_interface' only supported with -fvtable-thunks
23 c:/dev-c_~1/include/unknwn.h
warning: `com_interface' attribute directive ignored

and it goes on and on about "com_interface only supported with...attribute directive ignored..." Maybe I'm not ready for game programming after all...lol can't even get it to work

Hey, JaWiB. I used to use Dev-C++ 4.01, and I had the same problem. I moved on to MS Visual C++ 6.0 =). Anyhow, to fix this you need to go to your project settings. Click the Project menu, click Project Options. Under Extra Compiler Options (only for this project): type: -fvtable-thunks That should fix your problem. =)

Thank you!!! Lol, thought I'd never get an answer to that one Anyways all those errors are gone, but I need to link some files...

c:\dev-c++\myproj\directx\drdw.o: In function `InitDirectDraw(void)':
//c/dev-c++/myproj/directx/drdw.cpp:16: undefined reference to `DirectDrawCreateEx@16'

I'll probably figure it out on my own though...

Thanks again

EDIT: figured it out...
