Linker error for D3D9RenderSystem

[Ephon]

Hi

I get an error when linking this code:

Code: Select all

INT WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInst, HINSTANCE, LPSTR strCmdLine, INT)
{
	try
	{
		Root *pRoot = new Root();
		RenderSystem *pRenderSystem = new D3D9RenderSystem(hInst);
	}
	catch(Ogre::Exception &e)
	{
		MessageBox(
			NULL, e.getFullDescription().c_str(), "An exception has occured!", MB_OK | MB_ICONERROR | MB_TASKMODAL);
	}
}

The error is:
error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: __thiscall Ogre::D3D9RenderSystem::D3D9RenderSystem(struct HINSTANCE__ *)" (??0D3D9RenderSystem@Ogre@@QAE@PAUHINSTANCE__@@@Z) referenced in function _WinMain@16

Path to the library for the RenderSystem is set, and I'm using the debug version.

Any help on this issue is appreciated.

You shouldn't create your own D3D9RenderSystem, as the plugin constructs itself on DLL loading. The way to set the rendersystem is through the ogre root object.

Then how shall I aquire D3D9RenderSystem directly in program code and setting it through Root.setRenderSystem?

Shall I retrieve a list of available renders, query its name and choose from that list? Or is there are better way?

[:wumpus:]

If you already know it's name you can just use that; the name will never change. Setting it by name is the only option though.

How come I dont get any renderers when I call root->getAvailableRenderers() method?

The vector returned contains 0 items.

Try loading one or more rendersystem plugins first!
