Portable Install?

[reudas]

I travel a lot, use different computers, and often cannot install software on the machine I'm using...

All the installation tutorials are geared toward IDEs, which I don't use; I prefer Digital Mars C++(DMC) because I don't have to install it to use it.
I found an old (2006) post on the topic:
http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=17637

The download doesn't work anymore-- does anyone know how to properly setup the include, dll, lib, etc. manually?

As it seems you won't have too much luck to compile Irrlicht with DMC. There are many things that are not supported by DMC, and which are not easily fixable as it seems. Latest SVN/trunk at least now has the easy things fixed. So you have to either dig into the way DMC interprets C++ syntax and come up with fixes for the Irrlicht code, or find a way to use MSVC or mingw dlls. The latter will be required for DirectX and OpenGL anyway.
For setup simply check the command line options and add includes and libs as required. Depends on how these things are usable there. But I guess a step by step creation of the project files should be possible. Maybe just cross-check with an MSVC project setup or so. Maybe also just set includes first and compile an example. Then post the error messages or look those up yourself. Shouldn't be much more than a handful of settings required for an app to get compiled.

Sounds about as I feared, Thanks for your help. I'll go ahead and install with MSVC and see if I can figure out how things are done. I didn't even consider that I would need the dlls for DX and OGL. thanks for heads up. If I figure anything out, I'll post it here. It's likely that years from now this thread will remain barren and forgotten...

Why not use a VM? Qemu is portable, and I hear Virtualbox can be too.
