Hello, I am completely new to programming. I recently bought Game Tutorials and am trying to set up CodeBlocks on my new MS XP Pro computer to start learning. I have installed sdk, MSC++ Platform 2003 and CB. It worked great on my win2K machine, but on XP Pro I can't get the imported vcproj files to link. I doubt it has anything to do with OS.
Problem:
When I import a vcproj provided with Game Tutorials and try to compile/run, I get:
fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'odbc32.dll'
If I create a new project with CB, then copy the code from the Game Tutorials example into the new proj, it works without a hitch. That's fine for now while the examples are a single file, but later..... good grief. I see that odbc32.dll is part of Microsoft Data Access ODBC Driver Manager. I have no idea what that is or what to do with it... just yet.
I found references to the 1181 error, but none specifically with 'odbc32.dll'. Most are about something called "ogre"?
I've tried putting copies of this file "all over the place" and pointing compiler and linker to different directories (I think) but it doesn't want to work.
What am I missing? Lot's, I'm sure :")
