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

Thanks

Hi, back to that problem...
I'll get messages like this :

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.
