More fun with RenderSystem_GL

Ok, working on getting the core libraries built on a windows xp-sp2 system, and I've managed to get everything to compile and link, except for RenderSystem_GL, which gives me these linking errors:

RenderSystem_GL.dll - 22 error(s), 0 warning(s)

I'm using vc6, and the DirectX 9 SDK December 2004 build, and the d3dx9.lib from the October 2004 extras package.

It apparently linked fine in Release mode, and all of the Release sample programs work - none of the debug samples work, they error out with a error:9 exception - could not load dynamic library rendersystem_gl.

I've heard some discouraging things about vc6 and directx9+, but I'm hoping there's just a library or an include that's not getting called in this case. Can anyone tell me where these symbols originate?

Thanks for any help/direction.

Have you changed anything in the project files? That looks like you're not linking some pretty crucial libs but they should all be set up for you.

Experimentally, try adding one or more of the following libs:

OPENGL32.lib GLU32.lib kernel32.lib user32.lib

Adding these dropped me from 22 errors to 5, so I unpacked a fresh workspace, and sure enough, I was missing others as well.

Don't remember changing anything there, but I was trying everything before I realized that the Dec 2004 d3dx9.lib didn't work with vc6.

Much thanks, must go play!
