All right, as the title mentions, I'm trying to compile a DX project with
DMC++. I've made sure to use the compiler options -I..\..\mssdk6.1\include
and all the necessary options but it didn't work. If anybody managed to be
able to compile DX projects with DMC++, let me know how.

Thanks.

As far as I know... Yes there have been other that compiled DirectX projects

You just state you have a problem though... Not wat the problem is.
Compiler messages?
Linker messages?

Thanks

It means you need to be linking with the direct 3d .lib file, which is
d3drm.lib. But that symbol isn't in that library - which dll is it
in? -Walter

Hi Mark!

I've looked everywhere for the two functions you mentioned. I.e. InitDirect3D
and
Direct3DCreate. The only reference I can find to the second is in MSDN's Visual
Basic section. They are not defined in any of the header files (VC-- 98,
Microsoft
SDK, Microsoft Platform SDK)...
Are you sure these 2 functions are not implemented in a source file that you
need to
include in your project???

In the past (1999) I have had some requests for people using DirectDraw which is
part of DirectX which has the functions in DDRAW.LIB. I bugged Walter Oney (not
Walter Bright!) a long time and he patched COFF2OMF to be able to convert this
M$
library.
