 Posted: Sun Mar 20, 2011 7:08 pm Post subject: (LNK2019) Direct3D9 |
 |
|
Hey.
I installed the Direct3D SDK Version (February 2005) and moved all the files from the /lib/ and /include/ to the Microsoft SDKs folder.
I included the library and the header files for Direct3D9, and i'm getting a linker error for Direct3DCreate9 Function.
Here is my code:
| Code: |
#include <Windows.h>
#include <D3D9.h>
#pragma comment ( lib, "D3D9.lib" )
LPDIRECT3D9 D3D;
LPDIRECT3DDEVICE9 d3dDevice;
void initialize ( HWND hWnd )
{
D3D = Direct3DCreate9 ( D3D_SDK_VERSION );
D3DPRESENT_PARAMETERS d3dParameters;
ZeroMemory ( &d3dParameters, sizeof ( D3DPRESENT_PARAMETERS ) );
d3dParameters.Windowed = TRUE;
d3dParameters.hDeviceWindow = hWnd;
d3dParameters.SwapEffect = D3DSWAPEFFECT_DISCARD;
D3D->CreateDevice ( D3DADAPTER_DEFAULT, D3DDEVTYPE_HAL, hWnd, D3DCREATE_SOFTWARE_VERTEXPROCESSING, &d3dParameters, &d3dDevice );
}
|
Heres the error the compiler is outputting:
| Code: |
1>MainCode.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _Direct3DCreate9@4 referenced in function "void __cdecl initialize(struct HWND__ *)" (?initialize@@YAXPAUHWND__@@@Z)
|
This is the only function i'm receiving a linker error for, other functions seem to work fine..?
Please help,
Thanks.

You're doing it wrong.
1. Download the most recent versions if you don't need outdated ones.
2. Don't move files, learn how to include outside directories.

I downloaded this one because I need DirectPlay which has been depreciated and isn't stored in the latest SDK's.
Thanks for the suggestions Wicaan.

Only reason I can assume you would need it is for a private server or client for an extremely dated game or poorly designed idea. If you are doing something with DirectPlay on your own, it was depreciated for a reason (its horrible). Look into other options if you don't have to use it.
