I'm wondering what the proper method is for using the D3D common files included with the sdk in your project. Specifically, I find the functions in "d3dutil.h" very useful, however when including that file in my source files I naturally get unresolved external link errors (LNK2019/1120). I've searched the forums and it looks like I have two options: include the apparently deprecated "d3dframe.lib", OR include the source file "d3dutil.cpp" in my project. Unfortunately, "d3dutil.cpp" requires I switch to the unicode character set. This isn't a problem; my code is all unicode compatible - however, it appears direct3d is not (or at least what I'm using is not - things like the adapter identifier's description, device name, etc). At anyrate, I have a feeling I shouldn't have to switch character sets just to use the common files. Am I going about this all wrong or is this the way you have to do things? I seems it would just be easier to copy the functions into my own source code.. oh well hopefully someone will provide the answer :) Thanks!
