   Compile Problem
  I have recently purchased Programming Role Playing Games with DirectX.My problem is how do I compile the source code. I am using Visual Studio.Net 2003 and I get the errorTile fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file ''libci.lib''   home of a nutter!http://www.thenutters.co.uk/ 
  Do you try to open a premade project or just write the code provided in the book?   ----------------------------------------------Petter Nordlander"There are only 10 kinds of people in the world. The who understand binary and those who don''t" ;  premade project ;  This is linker problem, not compiler problem.You probably need to obtain libci.lib (if you haven''t already),and make it available for the linker. This is done using project settings in vs.net 2003.Please don''t ask me on how to find libci.lib. I have no clue ;  I have tried adding the libci.lib to the linker like the direct-x libs and I still get the same error. ;  But the error message still implies that the linker cannot find it.Or, it can't use it otherwise (file damaged). (I haven't ever experienced this myself).Make sure that the lib file is in the directories that VS searches for it. This is specified in the VS options, not the project options.EDIT:The setting is found on tools->options->projects->vc++ directories.   [edited by - Nik02 on August 4, 2003 4:39:40 PM];  My Visual Studio.Net 2003 didn''t come with or didn''t install the libci.lib. I don''t really understand what is going on but I added this file from an older studio version and it worked.the only info I could find was this linkhttp://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vccore98/html/_crt_c_run.2d.time_libraries.aspWas I simply have a missing file or am I not understanding something? I would love for someone to put me right!and Thanks Nik02 ;  I think you should add that *.lib to the linker in a command-linecompiler. I had the same problem wiht BC++B in opengl. maybe it''ll work ;quote:Original post by Anonymous Poster  Was I simply have a missing file or am I not understanding something? I would love for someone to put me right!sorry, meant to say - Was I simply missing the file or am I not understanding something? I would love for someone to put me right! ;  look, search for that *.lib that''s missing. if there isn''t, get it on the net. then pass it directly to the linker( i mean compile the code including this library). you might understand now
