OpenIL and d3d8.h problem?
Author
i am working a a opengl problem and have desided to use OpenIL/DevIL for my texture class. Well my code keeps generating an error dealing w/ the d3d8.h file. I have even added that file to my project w/ no luck. If you could help me out that would be great. I have just started working w/ IL so i dont know much about it. thank you

Why would u be using D3D and OGL?
OIL != OGL
although, he does say " i am working a a opengl problem and have desided to use OpenIL/DevIL for my texture class."
I think he is a little confused.. but then again so are you.
Anyway. Can''t tell if you don''t give us the error, but is it perhaps the header files defining the same thing?

I think i had the same problem as you, near the bottom of ilut.h there''s a block of includes and stuff in an
#ifdef ILUT_USE_DIRECTX8
#endif
thing, which includes some directx headers... although i wasn''t using directx at all, and never defining ILUT_USE_DIRECTX8, it was still including the directx stuff... i just commented out the whole block, and now it works fine...

Is your DX8 setup correct in that you''ve properly added the path to the SDK to your directories list - and moved it above the default DX5 path (adding header files to projects is generally useless; they''ll be found as dependencies)?
OpenIL/DevIL themselves may require certain setup (some libraries do) to correctly compile and located required resources; check their documents and see if there''s anything you need to do.

Thanks alot for your help and i figured it out. Another problem has found its way to me. So everything compiles and links but my program crashes when i run it. I noticed i didn''t make any calls to glTexImage2d(). well with using the OpenIL i cant figure out how to get the width and height values? Or is there a func in the library which i am leaving out? Thanks for all your help so far.
