Hi all, When trying to compile a project in DevC++ using DirectInput I get 66 errors. The majority of them are the following: "411 C:\Dev-Cpp\include\objidl.h `com_interface'' only supported with -fvtable-thunks" Any help is greatly appreciated. The project compiled error-free before introducing the directx code, which was provided by Dave Astle with the book "OpenGL Game Programming". Thanks ahead of time.

Ah, thanks! That solved many of the errors. It still, however, won''t compile. The majority of remaining errors are: "syntax error before..." or "parse error before..." generally refering to "LPDIRECTINPUT8" or "LPDIRECTINPUTDEVICE8". The code itself is error-free, so what could be causing these errors? I believe that I am linking to all of the needed libs. Thanks ahead of time for any help.

I have the latest directx package installed for DevC++. Thankyou, though. Hmmm, still wonder what the problems is.

No link. No profile. And directx IS supported by devc++ (I got the package with it''s update program). So, no, that isn''t the problem.
