Yep vista and irrlicht 1.4... Oh what a day!

thomas:
It's not Irrlicht's fault, really... as long as there are enough users/developers/hardware manufacturers who will happily buy an operating system that deliberately breaks 75% of all available software for no good reason, things like this happen again and again.
Worse, however, you don't even have much of a choice soon, as it affects other platforms, too.

hahaha that's funny, you're brave to say that :lol:

MortenMacFly:
Sorry for being OT, but I use and like Vista. It's at least far better than XP.

I think it's a matter of taste... just like everything. IMHO, Vista is still in Beta stage. It takes a lot of resources, has a lower performance (it's like every new Windows version is conceived to be a lot slower than the previous one), breaks compatibility with software that worked perfectly up to XP, by trying to get an implementation of "we'll help you keep your system secure" they ended up with "we'll bug you to Hell by asking you 100 times if you're really sure about something", and so on.

The only thing I find interesting about Vista is what game developers will be able to achieve with DirectX 10 ;)

Anyway, what really matters right now is that workarounds have been created so MinGW + Code::Blocks can work on Vista out of the box. It's also good to know that there's someone who can test and develop Code::Blocks on Vista, and, more than that, he actually enjoys it (I feel sorry for you, Morten :P)
