sorry I didn''t know whether to put this in the DirectX or OpenGL tutorial as it''s a bit of both! I have attempted to alter the nehe directinput tutorial so that it uses DirectX version 8 rather than 7. My attempts at this failed due to lack of understanding of directx I think. So instead I decided to download the relevant include and library files for DirectInput7 and put these in my Visual C++ directory and linked them. However, I am still getting these errors upon compilation: syntax error : missing '';'' before identifier ''g_DI'' ''LPDIRECTINPUT7'' : missing storage-class or type specifiers I am baffled and don''t know what to do. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks regards Gareth <><

make sure you link with dxguid.lib

Make sure your DXSDK include & lib dirs are before VS''s ones in the search path. You''re most likely including an old header.

Already solved it. Moving to Linux and it RAWKS.

yep thanks for that, it was to do with the order of the libraries, etc

thanks a lot
