[Dev-C++] Irrlicht..........

Hi Malcolm... (thank you for your attentions)

Just to get the problem straight in my mind, you are trying to compile
the examples which came with Irrlicht 0.5 in DevCpp?
It's right.

I would suggest
downloading and installing the newer version 0.6 from the Irrlicht
site.

Did you download the DevPak for Irrlicht? Did you install the
DevPak?
No, but I will do it (I didn't know there was a devpak for irrlicht...).

I believe that the code is being compiled for DirectX use, but the
Irrlicht DLL which accompanied the program was not compiled with
DirectX. As a user you have to recompile the SDK in order to use
DirectX with Irrlicht.

As a workaround look for a line in the source files which looks like:

IrrlichtDevice *device =3D createDevice(video::EDT_DIRECTX8, =
core::dimension2d<s32>(640, 480));

change it to

IrrlichtDevice *device =3D createDevice(video::EDT_OPENGL, =
core::dimension2d<s32>(640, 480));



Yes, it's right...  I only wanted to try also directx=20
(I have never used it: open question:
 (I hope in a large number of opinions!)...  which is better: OpenGL or =
directX, ...and why?
Thanks,=20
bye M.
