Setup Ogre

[Lee123]

Hey guys, I know this question gets brought up just under a zillion times, but i'm very new to C++ (Ogre being the reason for me learning it) and i'm have a weee little bit of trouble setting it up. I'll go through what i've got, so hopefully you can tell me what i'm missing

Microsoft Direct X 9.0 SDK installed in:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft DirectX 9.0 SDK (December 2004)

stlport_vc6_stldebug46.dll & stlport_vc646.dll sucessfully compiled in:
C:\Program Files\STLport\lib

3rd Party thingies installed resulting in:
C:\Program Files\ogrenew\Dependencies

Microsoft Visual Studio 6 Installed

In Directories (Visual C++ 6.0)---------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Include Files:
C:\Program Files\STLport\stlport
C:\Program Files\Microsoft DirectX 9.0 SDK (December 2004)\Include
C:\Program Files\ogrenew\OgreMain\include
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\INCLUDE
..............

Library Files:
C:\Program Files\STLport\lib
C:\Program Files\Microsoft DirectX 9.0 SDK (December 2004)\Lib\x86
C:\Program Files\ogrenew\OgreMain\lib\Debug
..............
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

However when i open Ogre.dsw, and go Build/Batch Build, it's constantly bleeping me with errors during the process (ontop of loads of warnings). Is this to be expected or have I done something wrong somewhere along the lines?

Thanks in Advance
Lee

Could you post the exact error messages perhaps ?

[Lee123]

There's are errors in the build window, and it only shows a certin ammount of lines, i'll post here the first 3 error messages

I just tried opening C:\Program Files\ogrenew\Samples\Common\bin\Release\Demo_Water.exe, at it gives me this error:

"This application has failed to start because stlport_vc646.dll was not found, yada yada yar"

Sounds like i may have put a wrong include folder or something in VC perhaps?

Wont be 2 min, making that log

**I hope this isn't as bad as it looks**

Configure the DX SDK include and library directories for the "RenderSystem_Direct3D9" and "RenderSystem_Direct3D7" projects, that should reduce a lot of errors .

[Lee123]

Sorry to be a dummie, how would I go about doing that?

[Banania]

the "__security_cookie" crap when compiling DX9 comes from the fact that, with VC6, you need the directX extras package which contains the vc6 compatible version of D3Dx9.lib

This has been discussed before, you should find a link on this forum by using the search feature.

As for the stlport dll, you need to copy it where your executables are. VC6 won't find .dll for you, only .lib

[Lee123]

Hey Guys, only have these errors now, any ideas?

This forum has a search function, you know.

Utilizing it:

[Lee123]

thank you tanis.

The errors in my previous post were what I got after i tried installing the extras package (as discussed in the link).

The extras package, downloaded, extracted, but didnt self-install, i tried putting the lib in both the sub-lib directories, and that's the errors I got, any ideas?

In the C1076 post, sinbad mentions:

"or simply add /Zm500 to the compiler command line options in your project settings in debug mode"

Where would i do that on VC6?

[Lee123]

Update:
/Zm error resolved
