I need the docs updated on how to compile RF in MSVC6
or this Visual Studio Express thing from Microsoft.
Do I need the 192 MB direct x 9 sdk?
What else do I need
Is the information below correct?
A. This is a compatibility problem. Since the summer update 2004 DirectX doesn't support the MSVC6++ compiler any longer.
This doesn't mean you can't compile the project, there are several steps you need to make:
1. Install the extras for the DX9 SDK
2. Now you get a new folder called "Extra" in you DirectX directory. There you will find the D3DX9.LIB. This file is compatible with Visual C++ 6, the default D3DX9.LIB is not. Rename the original D3DX9.LIB (e.g. DX9VC7.LIB) and copy the compatible library to this directory.
3. Copy the following code and save it as BASETSD.H, put it in the include folder of DirectX or MSVC:
