How to setup DX projects
-
I downloaded the DXSDK and what I started out to do was trying to get the samples to compile. So I enter Samples\C++\Direct3D and pick a random sample. I then open up the .sln file with VS .NET 2003 which pops up an question about if I want to convert the project. A question where I of course pick yes. Everything works fine so far and after some reading I of course want to compile the thing to see what it looks like. After hiting F5 and waiting for a few secs it complains about not finding d3dx9.h. Fine, probably some include missing so I take a look at the includes and add the path to d3dx9.h. After another compile it complains about a lib, which I remedy by including the path to the libs as well. On the third compile I get LNK1104, which means a file couldn't be opened, namely d3dx9dt.lib. The file do exist in the supplied lib path though. So naturaly what I'm asking for is a way to get this thing to work :)
