DXSDK 9 (Summer2004) and Visual C++ 6 issue
-
Hi all ... I've just downloaded the updated DirectX 9 SDK and now I cant compile the samples (capturesound) with my Visual C++ 6. I have the Platform SDK 2003 Feb installed and the problem is, it askes for UNICODE build. If i define UNICODE in the project settings, it gives another error: "__noop not defined". From MSDN, I found out __noop is a microsoft specific C++ intrinsic and my guess is, its not implemented in VC6 compiler. Is there any workaround to this problem for Visual C++ 6? Thanks in advance. -Tareq

Hello, From the DirectX9 readme: Compiler Support Developing C++ applications with the DirectX 9.0 Summer Update requires Visual Studio .NET 2002 or later. Visual Studio version 6 is no longer supported. Developing managed applications with the DirectX 9.0 Summer Update requires Visual Studio .NET 2003 and .NET Runtime 1.1. Developing 64-bit applications requires the Microsoft Platform SDK. All DirectX SDK supported 64-bit samples have a corresponding sample_makefile.x64. These makefiles are compatible with AMD64 and Intel64. You should use the DirectX 8 sdk for development with VC++ 6.

Thanks for the quick reply... but the old dx9 sdk supported vc6 ... and the old code also compiles great with vc6 ... its just the samples... well... i'll try using the old sdk samples with the new sdk... :sigh: -Tareq

I was thinking more along the lines of rewriting the macros which make use of __noop. -- Arigato gozaimashida!
