Visual Studio 2010 help for beginner

[UserS3]

Hello,

I am trying to run the HelloWorld tutorial in Visual Studio 2010 but I have not been able to add the static library Irrlicht.lib correctly because my application asks for Irrlicht.dll. What am I doing wrong?

there was this line in the demo if you copied it then stop messing with other way of linking irrlicht it just give randoom results

cpp Code: Select all

#ifdef _MSC_VER
#pragma comment(lib, "Irrlicht.lib")
#endif

if you do have this line then you need to copy the irrlicht.dll file located in the binary file of the irrlicht sdk you downloaded into your aplication folder (in case this is your issue good luck irrlicht is gonna be painfull i started there 1 year ago...)

UserS3,
There are things: compiling and running. For compiling app that uses Irrlciht you need header files and lib file. Seems from your screen shot you have it OK. The second - running. You see this message because Irrlicht.dll is needed to be placed neer your executable file. So near your IrrlichtTest.exe should be placed Irrlicht.dll (in the same folder).

Wish you good luck UserS3!
It'll be a painfull start but learn and know your C++ and you'll get there.
