codewarrior and DirectX
Author
Hey, can anyone plz tell me how to set up metrowerks codewarrior for directX. When I try to compile the simplest DX program the compiler acts like it doesn''t have a clue whats going on. WTF! Jeez!
thx,

I purchased a copy of it for my company because we were bidding on a contract to port a game from Macintosh to Windows. The Mac publisher said they wanted us to use it because they used CodeWarrior on their Macs and that it would be easier to port it if we did so. After toying around with the code that they gave us to evaluate, we learned from one of their developers that our best bet was to create a completely new project based for Windows. After that, we decided to decline from accepting the contract.
While I''m sure that there are ways to use it, and I''ve seen them after searching on Google, it was a frustrating experience trying to move from VC++ to CodeWarrior. The biggest thing you need to do is make sure that all of your libraries are linked. If not, you''ll get some pretty strange, and ambiguous error messages that don''t really tell you anything about the problem. Good luck, and sorry I can''t help more.

eewww...codewarrior. That''s is the biggest piece of crap compiler i''ve ever worked with. Honestly, if you can use VC++.
I''m trying to keep from flaming codewarrior, but it''s hard....

thx, but can i get some technical advice here? where can I get teh libraries for it??
thx, dtekfoo

umm.....do u have your directories configured for the header files and the lib files? that might be a problem.....you could just copy the header and lib files in codewarrior''s directories if you cant configure the lib and header files.

I''d have to disagree with you there... Its not the compiler that''s bad, its the IDE
Anyway, I''m using CW7.0 with directX without any problems. As acidchaos said, make sure that you''ve set up the "access paths" correctly. CW7 comes with the directX 7 headers and libs already installed. If you want to use a newer DXSDK you have to put its path at the top of the "system paths" list. That means that the newer headers and libraries get found before the old ones (the same thing happens with VC++ BTW).
If that''s the problem the compile errors will probably be about IDirectWhatever8 being undeclared. If that isn''t the problem, post a sample of the error messages you''re getting.
