   Setting up directx
  i need to setup direct x sdk in Dev c++, first i dunno where to get the sdk and second i have no idea how to set it up...people are saying i gatta make my own libs and stuff.?   
  You can download the latest (October) DirectX SDK here.Once you've done that, move everything into the correct folders that relate to Dev-C++ (E.G. move the Include directory in the DirectX SDK to your Include directory in Dev-C++). Then, you can start developing using the DX SDK!Good luck.   ;  what about linker setting and what not? are there any at all?   ;  You need .lib files, and there is some problem with this in DevWhy not download Visual Studio 2005 express?;  i put the lib into the lib and the includ einto the include but isnt there some dlls for the bin? i didnt see any...also im getting lniker errors so i MUST need linkers and i googled how to set this up for dev and no luck...   ;  anyone?   ;  the sdk didnt come with any .dlls? can someone help meout at all? with that and linker?   ;  Personally, I'd go with the suggestion of downloading Visual Studio 2005 express. I use VS and am very happy with it.   ;  whats that gatta do with the dlls? it still is utterly useless without the dls and stuff..   ;  has nobody used dev c++ for directx or what? this is the first question that actually hasnt ever been answered!
