About Irrlicht

[JimNewbie]

I don't know if this is the right section but I am a C++ beginner but this is my problem.

Some of you might have heard of the Irrlicht game engine. Its a free open source C++ based game engine available here

http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/

I used to have an earlier version of Irrlicht installed on my computer. The C++ program I use is Bloodshed Dev C++. This combination used to work fine for me. I was able to compile and run basic newbie applications based on this engine.

Then I had to format my computer. Months later when I installed the latest version of Irrlicht I got problems. I am able to compile applications but when I run them they crash. I have Irrlicht.DLL copies both in the system folder and in the local folder.

Does anyone have any solutions. I don't want to go with Visual C++ because I like the simple interface of Dev C++. So if anyone, especially someone who uses Dev C++ has any solutions for me, they would be much appreciated

Thanks in advance

You should ask this question in the Irrlicht fora/mailing lists. You're more likely to get better answers.

PS: Dev-C++ sucks.
