Adding DXSDK in vs2005 express

by Mike Rowley · in Technical Issues · 08/24/2006 (6:40 pm) · 4 replies

I need to know how to point the linker to the dxsdk on my computer. For some odd reason, vs2005 express isn't finding it and I'm getting compile errors.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Mike, do a search on the forums for directx and visual studio. The answer to your question is out there.

In general you need to tell visual studio where to find them. Here is the short answer:

Tools->Options->Visual C++ Directories

This dialog allows you to define where the important files are located. For example here are my links to the bin files:

one step at a time. good luck.

Mike... go here --> www.garagegames.com/docs/tse/general/ch01s04.php

scroll down towards the bottom, and find the section on compiling...

this thread was helpful as well... when all those compiler errors started popping up--> www.garagegames.com/index.php?sec=mg&mod=resource&page=view&qid=5957


good luck...

Mike you should not have to do anything else but install the DXSDK . This is because it appends its path to the windows "path"environment variable automatically during the install, allowing all of your computers executable files to see it.
