Almost there!

everythings built, and im trying to build my first Ogre app using the tutorial "Humble Beginnings: Your First OGRE Application".

i followed the project settings intructs. and got the error 'LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file "OGREMain.LIB" '.

OgreMain.lib is in the Release folder of OgreMain\lib, but not in the Debug folder, thats OgreMain_d.lib. i tried to include 'OgreMain_d.lib' but a STLport_vc6_stldebug45.dll was not found at runtime.

changing the lib path to the Release folder compiles this:
--------------------Configuration: Space - Win32 Debug--------------------

just one step away i hope to trying out the engine!

If you're building a debug version of your application you'll need to link to OgreMain_d.lib (and the runtime will then need OgreMain_d.dll) if you're building in Release mode then you'll need to link to OgreMain.lib (and hence the OgreMain.dll) runtime library.

You're trying to compile a Debug mode executable against the Release mode Ogre libraries, which is why it doesn't work.

Link your release mode executable to OgreMain_d.lib (which I imagine worked OK, since you got a runtime error) and copy the STLPort DLLs you require into your ogrenew/Samples/Common/bin/Debug directories manually

thanx monster, just copying that stlport dll did the trick.

OGRE works great!!
