greetings :) it is a straight up compile of Irrlicht so I'm not sure why it would be happening. The DLLs are running the examples that use mouse fine in all 3 (OGL/DX9/DX8) and I havent heard of anyone else with the issue. I have had weird things happen when not all files have been fully rebuilt in a project. I would do a full rebuild of your project if you havent already and make sure no other Irrlicht DLLs can be found in your path.

this one is a little different. it contains a precompiled DX9/DX8 compatible v1.7.2 Irrlicht.dll and a DX9 only DLL. Both include OGL and libIrrlicht.a. this was compiled using CodeBlocks 8.02/MingW 5.1.4 and UPXd. i ran the GCC exe samples after building and they ran.

Hi guys.. I have a question...

I use 2 computers (Windows Vista x64 and Windows 7 x64) and I compiled the irrlicht with the Directx 9 headers.. well, on Windows Vista x64, my Irrlicht.dll have 6Mb.. on Windows 7 x64 30Mb.. what´s the problem or what is wrong? The same irrlicht 1.7.2 source and Directx 9 package are used.

Thanks!

I'd swear you are compiling with all the debugging information... but i can't tell. The smallest irrlicht DLL i have gotten with GCC compilers is around 4.23 Mb, stripping all the symbols (enabling the option -s) and the debugging data. (not enabling the option -g) And using the switches -O2 to optimize speed and -OS to optimize the size.

here is the precompiled DX9/DX8 compatible v1.7.3 libIrrlicht.dll and a DX9 only DLL. Both include OGL and libIrrlicht.a. this was compiled using CodeBlocks 8.02/MingW 5.1.4 and UPXd. i ran the GCC exe samples after building and they ran.
