2002 vs 2003 Link Problems
-
So I'm trying to learn DirectX and got a book to do so ( pause here for laughter ) but I'm having a bit of trouble. The book teaches DX 8.1 and requires VC .NET 2002. I've got .NET 2003 and keep getting link errors saying some library can't be opened. A quick search of my HDD showed that it's there where it ought to be and I can open it fine. My include directories, library dependencies are set correctly, and the DX 8.1 SDK is installed to default paths. Even when I open the solutions directly from the indluded CD I get the same link errors. Is there some discrepancy between 2002 & 2003 or is it something else?

Specifics of the error: LNK1104: cannot open file "libci.lib" Any ideas? Always Fear the Man with Nothing to Lose Jeryth
Hmm, I'm replying more to my own question. I have found the problem, the libci,lib file is in the wrong spot somehow. I think it might have something to do with having VS 6.0 installed simultaneously w/ .NET I moved the library to a different folder and explicity listed that dir as an additional lib folder and the lining went fine. Could any of you do a search and find where the library is on your machines? Thanks. Always Fear the Man with Nothing to Lose Jeryth
