Hey everyone, I''m loosing my head trying to figure out how to compile LaMothe''s t3dconsole2 on my system and of course anything program based off this console. I''m positive that all the DirectX and Library files are included. Everything else seems to compile fine for me. I''ve looked around and I can''t find much relating to these errors I''m getting. So anyway, here is the output from my build log. Any Ideas? Compiling... t3dconsole2.cpp c:\dxsdk\include\dinput.h: DIRECTINPUT_VERSION undefined.

have you linked in the .lib's??
ddraw.lib
dxguid.lib
dinput.lib
(im guessing) dsound.lib
( i think )

JUST INCLUDE THE LIBS!
and you need to define the direct input version

//whatever version it uses
#define DIRECTINPUT_VERSION 0x0700


Also....
this might be the problem..
Have you added t3dconsole2.h/.cpp to the project and any other relating files? If not...add them.

I''m quite sure i have all the directx library''s included.

and according to the comments dxguid.lib isnt needed because of the #define INITGUID statement. but i tried it and it compiles the same.

here is the rest of my debug file. As you can see all the directx librarys are included. So anyone have any other ideas?

Yeah. I figured it out on my own a little bit earlier today.

CaptainJester was right on the mark with the problem tho.

I only feel slightly silly ^^;

Thanks everyone.

Sounds like you need to link to ddraw.lib.

I am having a compiling problem too:

Linking...
demo6_1.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _IID_IDirectDraw4
Debug/TricksCompile.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals

not real sure what that means... I''m still figuring it out, but I figured this might be a quick fix if sombody has had a similar problem.

You need to link to ddraw.lib and dxguid.lib.
