Has anyone tried developing without installing the SDK, by bare files only (forget the debuging). --- Quite soon... ICQ: 163187735

Amazing how the maturity level can drop through the floor when people can hide behind the ''Anonymous Poster'' tag. Slashdot got it right when they labelled anonymous posts as ''Anonymous Coward''.

Developing without the SDK is indeed possible. All you really need are the include files and the libs. They provide you with everything you need to create an application that uses DirectX. Documentation can be downloaded separately from the full SDK.

With Delphi, all we need are the translated PAS files from Delphi-JEDI to do DirectX development. No SDK, no libs, no include files.

Thanks for the info, almost got everything working :D

p.s. Anonymous coward - hey, they should change their names on all over the site

The last post, and all other ones, were deleted by me as they were off topic or flame-bait. I don''t care if you mix an answer with flaming, it will get deleted. Read the site rules - if you have a problem, then either don''t post here or keep on topic. This is a private board that has rules.

I deleted them.

If you have a problem with the site, then please find another one. Nobody forces you to come and post here. Why come here if you think nobody here is worthy of your attention or praise?

We hope all visiters enjoy the site. It is quite helpful to many. People come here for help, not to get picked on and flamed. For that reason, I''m deleting most of the crap that goes off topic or even has a hint of flaming. If there''s a problem with this, please email Dave or one of the other guys and let them know.

A group you proudly became a part of when you registered.


And just for everybodies information, a lot of big-time companies visit this site, scouting for talent. I have picked up a few jobs in the last two years as a result of my participation with the site, and I''d like to say "Thanks GameDev!"


Since the answer has been posted a couple times, and some people keep insisting on flaming, thread closed...
