    Need help with Dev C++

    I get this error when compiling



    Code:
    g++: c:\documents and settings\ryan\my documents\t3diichap01\raiders3d.o: No such file or directory
    g++: file path prefix `C:\DEV-C_~1\Bin\' never used
    
    
    // And this one...
    
    
    g++: c:\documents and settings\ryan\my documents\t3diichap01\raiders3d.o: No such file or directory
    g++: file path prefix `C:\DEV-C_~1\Bin\' never used
    Can you please tell me whats the problem?

    I"m trying to compile a program that uses DirectX with the lib files but it says...
    Code:
    c:\documents and settings\ryan\my documents\t3diichap01\raiders3d.cpp:37: ddraw.h: No such file or directory

    Your mom is like a struct, she has no class

    How many C programmers does it take to screw in a light bulb? One to do it, 99 to tell him how to do it faster.

    1. The specified file cannot be found.
    2. You seem to not have specified the correct directory to search the includes & libs for.
    3. Are you trying to learn Dx? Are you sure you have the level to do so? Just a question.

    There is a compiler-dependent option in the command line of your compiler that should add a searching path for includes, and another for libs.

    The spaces in the path
    c:\documents and settings\ryan\my documents\t3diichap01\raiders3d
    might be causing the problem
    Put you files in a folder that's in a path with no spaces
    and it could solve your problem

    yes, you must add the path to the libs and .h files to be able to use them
