ok, I have this problem, i have included the d3d8.h include, and the d3d8.lib file added to my project in dev C++. However, when I am all said and done with the initiation code and compile it, it finishes compiling then says,
what does this mean, and how can i solve it? it gives me this same type of message when one of my functions is undefined.Code:[Linker error] undefined reference to `Direct3DCreate8@4'
That should be all that is needed. You can try linking to dxguid.lib though. Are you sure you didn't add the libraries for one configuration setting and then use a different one to compile?

jesus, downloaded the dx9 sdk, and its doing the same thing with d3d9.h and d3d9.lib, and even with dxguid.lib it doesnt work.
Well maybe it's something Dev-CPP specific. The above mentioned methods work on MSVC.

Did you use the DirectX DevPack from the autoupdater?Originally posted by EvBladeRunnervE

no, i just downloaded the SDK from MS's site
Well in that case use the modified SDK from the DevC++ autoupdater.Originally posted by EvBladeRunnervE

ok, I downloaded the dev-C++ SDK and it compiles, but when i run it, it doesnt load the window, even when the code is a direct copy and paste from Drunken Hyenas 1st tutorial. It also hassles me about the D3D9X.h, saying there are errors in the header file D3DMesh.h(sp?).
EDIT: im about ready to say screw DX, even though I wanted so much to learn and love it, this is giving me more hassle than I ever had with Opengl.
Well, as a few board members could confirm, I'm not a DirectX fan either - BUT to use OpenGL because you can't get DirectX running is .... well... you gave up!
You should have a look at the DevC++ site on SourceForge. They have a pretty active board with some 40k posts in it. I mean, I don't know if there are any helpful posts, but I'd give it a try if you really want to use DirectX.
hey i didnt say i was going to, i said I am about to.
