Thread: DirectX errors (newb alert)

Hmmm... I'm just trying to compile Nexe's "setting up a directx window" tutorial, and I followed the directions on setting up the SDK, but I get the following error: (MSVC 6)

Code:

kernel32.lib user32.lib gdi32.lib winspool.lib comdlg32.lib advapi32.lib shell32.lib ole32.lib oleaut32.lib uuid.lib odbc32.lib odbccp32.lib d3dx8.lib dxguid.lib d3d8.lib/nologo /subsystem:windows /incremental:yes "/pdb:Debug/nexe1.pdb" /debug /mach
ine:I386 "/out:Debug/nexe1.exe" /pdbtype:sept 
.\Debug\one.obj 
LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file "d3d8.lib/nologo.obj"

I deleted everything and made a new project (win32 application) and pasted the code in there, but I still got the error, so it isn't MSVC being strange like it sometimes does. The only thing I can think of is that I installed the 9.1 SDK and Nexe was written with 8, but I don't think that should make a difference. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

Thanks I feel like a moron (again). I feel like more of a moron because my ISP died last night as I tried to post this.
