[DevC++] dll with directx 9.0c support available

[JP]

Just thought i'd say that i realy appreciate the work of providing these IrrDX downloads, very useful! Keep up the good work!

[Tarzan02]

high i've tried your solution and i've got an error on the linker:

La ligne entr‚e est trop longue.

mingw32-make.exe: *** [Default Profile/Irrlicht.exe] Error 255

Execution terminated

someone has an idea ??

here is a precompiled DX9/DX8 compatible v1.4.2 Irrlicht.dll and libIrrlicht.a. this was compiled using the newest CodeBlocks and MingW 5.1.4. the DLL again ended up a bit bigger than normal, so in addition to NDEBUG i also added the compiler options -s (strip all symbols) and -Os (optimize generated code for size). it is UPXd. all this resulted in a significantly smaller DLL. i ran the hello world GCC exe provided and it ran. i am not yet able to test it on the rest of the samples.

i really need this thank you garrittg. i realized that open renderer has quite a few problems especially material and light.

here is a precompiled DX9/DX8 compatible v1.5 Irrlicht.dll and libIrrlicht.a. this was compiled using CodeBlocks 8.02/MingW 5.1.4 and UPXd. i ran the hello world GCC exe provided and it ran. i am not yet able to test it on the rest of the samples.

enjoy

also, im curious about the post from yoquese. im leery of jumping to something different for DX8 since the current method is time-tested, but not requiring a seperate DLL is enticing. i may look into this in the future when i have a bit more time.

Hey, I am attempting to recompile irrlicht 1.3 with direct x support using Dev C++ but am having trouble doing so... I have included all of the header files from the direct x sdk and linked to all of the libraries. Under the C++ compiler tab and the compiler tab I added:
-D_IRR_COMPILE_WITH_DIRECTX_8_=1
-D_IRR_COMPILE_WITH_DIRECTX_9_=1

Under the linker tab I added:
-ld3dx8d
-ld3dx9d

I have installed the DevC++ Direct X 9 devpack and it still does not seem to be working... It compiles just fine into a dll, but when I chose DirectX9 it says that it has not been compiled into the dll. can anybody see what I am doing wrong?

[Acki]

Under the C++ compiler tab and the compiler tab I added:
-D_IRR_COMPILE_WITH_DIRECTX_8_=1
-D_IRR_COMPILE_WITH_DIRECTX_9_=1

you must define this in the IrrCompileConfig.h file !!!
and not =1, just uncoment the define(s) in IrrCompileConfig.h...

[hybrid]

If those defines were not already enabled in IrrCompileConfig.h passing them on the command line as shown would be enough. However, with gcc you need a different define: -DIRR_COMPILE_WITH_DX9_DEV_PACK
If you also need DX8 (which is disabled by default) you should keep the DIRECTX_8 define as well.

[Nate_D]

Thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately none of these changes seems to have made a difference... I tried defining

#define _IRR_COMPILE_WITH_DIRECTX_9_
#define _IRR_COMPILE_WITH_DX9_DEV_PACK


in the irrcompileconfig file and when that didnèt work i tried defining it in the compiler options as
-D_IRR_COMPILE_WITH_DX9_DEV_PACK
-D_IRR_COMPILE_WITH_DIRECTX_9_

any suggestions?

[Nate_D]

Okay got it to compile in debug mode by changing

#define _IRR_COMPILE_WITH_DIRECTX_9_

to

#define _IRR_COMPILE_WITH_DIRECT3D_9_

I cant seem to be able to get it to compile in release mode however when i change
-ld3dx9d
to
-ld3dx9

an error box comes up and says Id.exe has stopped working...
then in dev c++ it gives me compile errors saying

.drectve '/DEFAULTLIB:"uuid.lib" /DEFALUTLIB:"uuid.lib" 'unrecognized

any ideas?

----EDIT------
Oops checked the directx devpack in the devc++ package manager and it only has

lib\Definitions\d3dx8d.def
lib\Definitions\d3dx9d.def

I guess i needed a devpack with release mode.

found one on this site

thanks for the help...

For the past few days, Dev-C++ and wxDevCPP is giving me a headache... There are errors when building the DLL,

Help here please ^_^

[hybrid]

Warning just means "Hmm, not sure if this should be as is". But you can still work with it, it's pretty safe

Thanks for the reply sir, but the main problem is during linking, there is an error that prevent DevCPP to make it DLL...

Here is the error sir:

Code: Select all

 C:\irrlicht-1.5\source\Irrlicht\Makefile.win [Build Error]  [../../bin/DevCPP/Irrlicht.dll] Error 255

[bitplane]

I think that "error 255" just means the command line is too long. Try using this to do the last step.

You may also want to try a nightly build.
