Is this the tutorial you were looking at?

[Geostigma]

no from http://www.drunkenhyena.com/cgi-bin/view_net_article.pl?chapter=2;article=7
and the set up i have been winging it. This looks very useful

I'm lost now from this point I have no clue what to do so ill read that article.

EDIT followed this to a tee, Same error using the tut file vs2005 version
EDIT 2 Okay, missed one line now i have these

code:

------ Build started: Project: CreateDevice, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------ Linking...

Do you have the Platform SDK? You can get it here.

[Geostigma]

.......... I have everything I wouldn't even be at this point if I didn't have it.


EDIT: hold on Ill have to try that tonight after thinking about it, I think I don't have it. I'm at school so I can't check sorry for hasty response

[Martin]

So, success?

[Geostigma]

Umm no success yet. I think I may have deleted a directory location by mistake. Can someone post there entire link set that have "$" in them.. also the error i get is.

code:

------ Build started: Project: CreateDevice, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------ Linking... Project : error PRJ0003 : Error spawning 'link.exe'. Build log was saved at "file://c:\Program Files\Microsoft DirectX SDK (April 2007)\Samples\C++\Direct3D\Tutorials\Tut01_CreateDevice\Debug\BuildLog.htm" CreateDevice - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s) ========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========

Very important if someone could name of the exe list, include list, library list, exclude list, and source reference list directories so I can make sure that I didn't delete the wrong one. I tried reinstalling VS 3x with no avail and can't figure out how to reset the list.

[Geostigma]

Know what, a picture is worth 1000 words and I solved my link.exe error.

I'm almost positive that your problem has to do with not having the Platform SDK set up properly. Those are all Windows methods. Out of the (digital) box, Visual Studio Express only allows you to make .NET applications, and the Platform SDK is required to use old Windows technologies like Win32. Make sure that you follow all of those steps in that link that I sent you a few posts up.

[Geostigma]

I attached a photo for a reason in my above post. I don't know what I'm missing when I have checked a billion times. Now i just cant get object files..

[Geostigma]

yes works finally effin yes1 bits and karma

[Martin]

Woohoo Live and learn.

[Geostigma]

Apperntly I didn't edit the file where I had to add the extra

"AdditionalDependencies="kernel32.lib user32.lib gdi32.lib winspool.lib comdlg32.lib advapi32.lib shell32.lib ole32.lib oleaut32.lib uuid.lib""

Must of forgot to save it. After that NeHe AND direct X now compile.
