Hey all, I''m trying to create my own 3d engine (like the rest of us ) but suffer from complete newbieism. Every time I try to compile my program, I get the same error messages from DirectInput. I''m sure there is a really simple fix for this, but right now it is beyond me! Any help would be greatly appriciated This is the compile error I keep getting, well a section of it anyway: input.cpp C:\Program Files\DevStudio\VC\INCLUDE\dinput.h: DIRECTINPUT_VERSION undefined. Defaulting to version 0x0800 C:\Program Files\DevStudio\VC\INCLUDE\dinput.h(646) : error C2501: ''UINT_PTR'' : missing decl-specifiers C:\Program Files\DevStudio\VC\INCLUDE\dinput.h(646) : error C2146: syntax error : missing '';'' before identifier ''uAppData'' C:\Program Files\DevStudio\VC\INCLUDE\dinput.h(646) : error C2501: ''uAppData'' : missing decl-specifiers C:\Program Files\DevStudio\VC\INCLUDE\dinput.h(658) : error C2501: ''UINT_PTR'' : missing decl-specifiers C:\Program Files\DevStudio\VC\INCLUDE\dinput.h(658) : error C2146: syntax error : missing '';'' before identifier ''uAppData'' C:\Program Files\DevStudio\VC\INCLUDE\dinput.h(658) : error C2501: ''uAppData'' : missing decl-specifiers C:\Program Files\DevStudio\VC\INCLUDE\dinput.h(1056) : error C2501: ''UINT_PTR'' : missing decl-specifiers C:\Program Files\DevStudio\VC\INCLUDE\dinput.h(1056) : error C2146: syntax error : missing '';'' before identifier ''uData'' C:\Program Files\DevStudio\VC\INCLUDE\dinput.h(1056) : error C2501: ''uData'' : missing decl-specifiers C:\Program Files\DevStudio\VC\INCLUDE\dinput.h(1209) : error C2501: ''UINT_PTR'' : missing decl-specifiers C:\Program Files\DevStudio\VC\INCLUDE\dinput.h(1209) : error C2146: syntax error : missing '';'' before identifier ''uAppData'' C:\Program Files\DevStudio\VC\INCLUDE\dinput.h(1209) : error C2501: ''uAppData'' : missing decl-specifiers

Yes, I have tried doing a Rebuild All.

I have 0 experience with VC5. There are probably service packs available for it, if the problem is mendable. Otherwise, I really can''t help except to suggest that you try it on another compiler.

I''ve been thinking about upgrading, so I guess now is the time. I would buy VC++.NET but it needs NT (or XP, I think), while I am using Windows ME. Can you still purchase VC++ 6.0 new?
