Hi, I''ve been reading Jim Adams''s book,(Programming Role Playing Games in DirectX)but I seem to be having problems compiling stuff(Using Bloodshed Dev-C++ 4).Whenever I use DirectX things, it says I have 31 errors.Even when I downloaded the latest DirectX,(I was working with all the files that came with the CD with the book)these errors still persisted.Do I need to post here what my compiler results were,or is it a problem everyone has,or what?The things I really remember are...Hmm,lets see... Some problem with mmsystem.h,a problem with d3d8,and lots of them about com objects,when I investigated them further they pointed to a line with just }; on it...If I need to post the exact things,just ask -Klarh

If I recal correctly, setting up DirectX on compilers other than Visual Studio requires some greater detail (sorry, I use Visual Studio, so I don''t really know what it entails). Does Jim Adams mention anything about how to set the projects up?

I would do a search on google, or a search of this forum on using bloodshed with DirectX. It has been done before.
