Hi to everyone, I have one project written in C++/DX. When I try to run it I got an error. Error: "c:\program files\microsoft visual studio\vc98\mfc\include\afxv_w32.h(126) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: ''ddraw.lib'': No such file or directory" In my "Include files" dialog I have this: C:\PROGRAM FILES\MICROSOFT VISUAL STUDIO\VC98\LIB\DDRAW.LIB C:\PROGRAM FILES\MICROSOFT VISUAL STUDIO\VC98\MFC\INCLUDE C:\PROGRAM FILES\MICROSOFT VISUAL STUDIO\VC98\INCLUDE C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\ATL\INCLUDE C:\LIB_SDL\SDL-1.2.5\INCLUDE BTW. I think I dont have DirectX SDK installed. I have installed only Visual C++ 6.0 and MSDN Library. Greetings, Nebo

I have added this in "Library Files" dialog:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\LIB

In this directory I have ddraw.lib, but there is still the same error!

Nebo

You have to link it. What you have done is just give the compiler another directory it can look into. I can't remember how it was done in VC6 but you should be able to find it in the project options.

Since you think you don't have the DX SDK installed, go download it and install it because the DX which ships with VC98 is very very old.

"c:\program files\microsoft visual studio\vc98\mfc\include\afxv_w32.h(126) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: ''ddraw.lib'': No such file or directory"
what the hell is that? it looks like afxv_w32.h wants ddraw.lib? is that even possible? probaly if thats the error actualy . . . is that a file that you made? or is it something else?

you probaly should add ddraw.lib to the project. thats the only usefull thing i can say

if you do have the SDK installed, edit your include list to look like this:

C:\DIRECTXSDK(or whatever the file is called)\INCLUDE
C:\PROGRAM FILES\MICROSOFT VISUAL STUDIO\VC98\MFC\INCLUDE
C:\PROGRAM FILES\MICROSOFT VISUAL STUDIO\VC98\INCLUDE
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\ATL\INCLUDE
C:\LIB_SDL\SDL-1.2.5\INCLUDE

Make sure it is at top
