cant get projects working in DX
Author
I just downloaded the latest SDK and I tried to run the project I had been working on on the previous SDK and i got the folllowing error:
Linking...
d3dx9.lib(fastftoa.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __aulldvrm
LIBCD.lib(crt0.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _main
Debug/Game.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 2 unresolved externals
Error executing link.exe.
Game.exe - 3 error(s), 0 warning(s)
I also get this when compiling the DX samples that came with the new SDK (summer 2004)
- Do your drivers support Dx9? Try updating them.
- Was it installed correctly? Try reinstalling it.
- Do the already-compiled samples work? If they do, then it's a problem with the complier.
Does the compiler know the directories to search for header and lib files? Sounds to me it can't find them.
LIBCD.lib(crt0.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _main
fairly sure this means that either you made a console project when you meant to do a windows project & thus you didn't code a main function (or that you meant to do a console one & miss typed main)

and this sounds like there's another library to which you need to link. could very likely be a pathing issue (i.e. your old project is set to use your old directX installation directory and you need to convert it to the new one)

I had dx9 sdk and thats what i used to make my projects in the first place.
I had my computer wiped but i kept the project on disc. I reinstalled the sdk and then i got this problem.
when you install, it sets the directories on installation (MSVC++ .0)

Make sure of the following...
1. Open Microsoft VC++
2. Tools -> Options -> Directories
3. Drop down menu to "Include Files"
4. Make sure the first line in the box is the correct path to the DX include files(must be the first line, order matters!) The default is C:\DXSDK\Include
5. Drop down menu to "Library Files"
6. Make sure the first line in the box is the correct path to the DX library files(must be the first line, order matters!) The default is C:\DXSDK\Lib
7. If you changed anything hit OK
8. Try to compile again
If your paths were correct then try this:
1. Open your project
2. Project -> Settings -> Link
3. Look in the box labeled "Project Options"
4. If somewhere in that box it says /subsystem:console change it to /subsystem:windows
5. If you changed anything hit OK
6. Try to compile again
