C++ novis i need!
Author
I''ve ust converted to th wonderful world of DX for c++ from being a hardcore VB programmer...
I''ve realized that C++ is not only the world of wonders but also the world of enturnal errors...
Now to the question, why do I get this message when trying to complie this code?
The message:
ATH_Device.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _D3DXCreateTextureFromFileA@12
Athena___Win32_Debug/Athena.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
Error executing link.exe.
The Code:
if( FAILED( D3DXCreateTextureFromFile( a_D3DDevice, "banana.bmp",
&a_Texture ) ) )
return E_FAIL;
please help me!

Sounds like you haven't included the appropriate library in your project settings. It may also mean that you have the wrong number of parameters or anything along those lines, but since you don't seem to have gotten a compiler error, I'm not sure.

I use:
#include
#include
as include files that should work right, and the parameters also seam okey...
Mabye I should add that I got the error then I added the & sign to correct athoner error, but that should work cuse thats how the do in the MS sample.
This beats me

you haven''t included the relevant library (library != header)
The CreateTextureFromFile is in d3dx.lib I think, go to project->settings->link and add d3dx.lib to the list of included libraries....

Hallo,
I''m not to shure about that, couse i am also new to
programming directX -
but i think you have to link
d3d8x.lib
to your projekt and
include d3d8x.h
couse they are nedded to perform
D3DXCreateTextureFromFileA
hope this helps, if not i''m sorry for sending you on the wrong way
