Compiling problem.

Hi all. Ive searched around the forum, but with no luck. I have the latest verson of Ogre, Ogrenewt and Newton. The Ogre demos run fine, but only on openGL. I can live with that. The Ogrenewt demos compile, but when i run the app i get an "filenotfoundexception" error. Im sure everything is linked ok and the compiler does not have any linker errors. Can anybode shead some light?

most likely you don't have the project "debugging" settings pointing to the proper directory. Try setting it to the executable directory, and the demos should run OK from within the IDE.

Ok, i did what you said and rebuilt all. Now the error has changed to "InternalErrorException". It has to be something to do with the OgreNewt as the Ogre demos compile fine.

have you copied all the proper DLLs from Ogre into the OgreNewt demo directories?

that error often happens when you try to run an executable compiled with Service Pack 1, but you have an old DLL in the directory that was compiled without the SP...

Bellow is the ogre text file that appears when i try to run the ogrenewt app. The problem seems to be the directx 9 drivers. I had the same problem with the ogre demos, so i ran them in opengl. I have the latest drivers for my computer. Any ideas?

in DynLib::load at ..\src\OgreDynLib.cpp (line 80)

did you compile the RenderSystem_Direct3D9? it should be a DLL file.

anyway, you can fix tht by editing the "plugins.cfg" file... either change the name to the proper one (if you are in DEBUG mode, it should be "RenderSystem_Direct3D9_d" I believe), or remove it entirely and it won't try to load it.

that error is caused because the plugins.cfg file is specifying a file that doesn't exist.

I changed the plugin cfg file, but still no change. You asked if i compiled the directx dll. What did you mean? I am using a pre-built Ogre SDK. Should i be compiling the dll?

Thankyou for the advice. Ogrenewt is now working with directx and opengl. I think it was a linker problem telling the app where to find the dlls. Sorry to be a pain.
