DirectX and DevC++

[CyberCarsten]

I have just installed DX8.
In my source code I include the ddraw.h, but the compiler errors out with 31 errors.
I have instructed the compiler to search for header files in C:\DEV-C++\Include\G++;C:\DEV-C++\Include\;c:\mssdk\include\

What is wrong???

[parksie]

What errors does it give?

[CyberCarsten]

Many!!! :)
This is some of them:
49 c:\dev-c_~1\include\objbase.h
from c:\MSSDK\INCLUDE\ddraw.h:36,

3 menuprog.cpp
C:\DEV-C_~1\INCLUDE\unknwn.h:23: `com_interface' only supported with -fvtable-thunks

23 c:\dev-c_~1\include\unknwn.h
warning: `com_interface' attribute directive ignored

37 c:\dev-c_~1\include\unknwn.h
`com_interface' only supported with -fvtable-thunks

The rest looks alot like these...

Here are the erros in a bmp file:

That's not a path problem. It means that some of the stuff used in the header files isn't supported by the compiler. Could you attach an full list of all the errors and I'll see if I can find out why.

[parksie]

You already attached it while I was asking :rolleyes:

dont you need to add the dependencies or something. In VC++ its something like tools->options

[CyberCarsten]

I don't know the compiler that well yet......:(

parksie--> :p

[CyberCarsten]

Maybe this is better:

[parksie]

Have you tried using the vtable chunks option? (Whatever the hell that is :p)

But let's face it...the DirectX SDK is supposed to be for MSVC++.
