Hello everyone,

I am trying to get a very simple ODE project to compile:

#include "ode/ode.h"int main(){  dWorldID world = dWorldCreate();  return 1;}

however, I am met with the following linker error:

error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _dWorldCreate referenced in function _main

In actuality I have been trying to integrate ODE into a larger project, but not even this will link.

I have included the ou_debug/ou.lib files in my configuration dependencies.

Normally I associate LNK2019 with an undefined function or an un-included lib file so I am somewhat stumped.

Perhaps someone can see something obvious I have missed?

Thanks for reading,
NiX

Hey guys,

I have solved this and the solution is rather embarrassing, none the less in case someone falls into the same pit fall I thought I'd post.

I basically decided follow some different instructions; this time from the ODE Manual wiki page - this time I built with premake. I then opened the solution, compiled and built, set the VC++ directories for the libs and copied the dlls over into debug/release folder.

Proof that sometimes working on the same thing for hours straight is not a great idea, and a days break can really work wonders =).

Cheers,
NiX
