Locating DirectX 9

I'm prepared to be told this is bleedingly obvious, but I'm just testing the waters of DirectX. Code so far:

App.h

Code:

#ifndef APP_H #define APP_H #include <Windows.h> #include <d3d9.h> //global finctions //handle any messages from windows LRESULT CALLBACK wndProc(HWND hWnd,UINT uMsg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam); //main entry point int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nShowCmd); //global variables IDirect3D9 *g_pD3D; IDirect3DDevice9 *g_pD3DDevice; #define WINDOW_WIDTH 300 #define WINDOW_HEIGHT 200 //error macro debugging #define ERROR(msg) {MessageBox(NULL,msg,L"Error",MB_OK|MB_ICONEXCLAMATION);} #endif

WinMain.cpp

Code:

#include "App.h" #include <Windows.h> #include <d3d9.h> LRESULT CALLBACK wndProc(HWND hWnd,UINT uMsg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam) { switch (uMsg) { case WM_CLOSE: PostQuitMessage(0); break; } return DefWindowProc(hWnd, uMsg, wParam, lParam); } //main method int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nShowCmd) { WNDCLASSEX wc; wc.cbSize = sizeof(WNDCLASSEX); wc.style = CS_HREDRAW | CS_VREDRAW | CS_OWNDC; wc.lpfnWndProc = (WNDPROC) wndProc; wc.cbClsExtra = 0; wc.cbWndExtra = 0; wc.hInstance = hInstance; wc.hIcon = LoadIcon(NULL, IDI_WINLOGO); wc.hCursor = LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_ARROW); wc.hbrBackground = NULL; wc.lpszMenuName = NULL; wc.lpszClassName = L"DirectXWindow"; wc.hIconSm = LoadIcon(NULL, IDI_WINLOGO); RECT rect; rect.top = (long)0; rect.left = (long)0; rect.right = (long)WINDOW_WIDTH; rect.bottom = (long)WINDOW_HEIGHT; //REGISTER if(!RegisterClassEx(&wc)) { ERROR(L"Error couold not RegisaterClass"); return 0; } //calculates the required size of the window AdjustWindowRectEx(&rect, WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW, FALSE, WS_EX_APPWINDOW | WS_EX_WINDOWEDGE); HWND hWindow = CreateWindowEx(NULL, L"DirectXWidnow", L"DirectX Window!", WS_CLIPSIBLINGS | WS_CLIPSIBLINGS, 0,0, rect.right-rect.left, rect.bottom-rect.top, NULL, NULL, hInstance, NULL); if (!hWindow) { DestroyWindow(hWindow); UnregisterClass(L"DirectXWindow", hInstance); ERROR(L"Window Creation Error."); return 0; } ShowWindow(hWindow,SW_SHOW); UpdateWindow(hWindow); SetForegroundWindow(hWindow); SetFocus(hWindow); D3DPRESENT_PARAMETERS d3dpp; ZeroMemory(&d3dpp, sizeof(d3dpp)); d3dpp.Windowed = true; d3dpp.hDeviceWindow = hWindow; d3dpp.BackBufferWidth = WINDOW_WIDTH; d3dpp.BackBufferHeight = WINDOW_HEIGHT; d3dpp.BackBufferFormat = D3DFMT_X8R8G8B8; d3dpp.SwapEffect = D3DSWAPEFFECT_DISCARD; //GET A HOLD ON VERSION g_pD3D = Direct3DCreate9(D3D_SDK_VERSION); //CREATE DEVICE if(FAILED(g_pD3D->CreateDevice(D3DADAPTER_DEFAULT, D3DDEVTYPE_HAL, hWindow, D3DCREATE_SOFTWARE_VERTEXPROCESSING, &d3dpp, &g_pD3DDevice))) { ERROR(L"Failed to create device"); } MSG msg; while(GetMessage(&msg,NULL,0,0)) { g_pD3DDevice->Clear(0,0, D3DCLEAR_TARGET, D3DCOLOR_XRGB(0,0,0), 1.0f,0.0f); g_pD3DDevice->Present(NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL); TranslateMessage (&msg); DispatchMessage (&msg); } g_pD3D->Release(); g_pD3DDevice->Release(); return 0; }

Gives the message LNK1104 cannot open file d3dx9.lib d3d9.lib winmain.lib

If I use d3dx9.h for the include lines, it is not recognised even though that header file appears to be in the relevant folder.

I am using VC++ 2010 and running DirectX 9 (graphics card won't support HiDef or DirectX 10/11 so not an option yet) I have made a separate program just for windows.h and that works fine, just an empty window.
