Linking Console Executable

(1/3) > >>

like2program:
I can't compile an irrXML.cpp into irrXML.lib.
It should work and the code looks OK.
It would be great if someone could help.
Error Log:
Compiling: C:\Paintball Project\irrLicht\irrxml-1.2\src\irrXML.cpp
Linking console executable: C:\Paintball Project\irrLicht\irrxml-1.2\src\irrXML.exe

From the looks of it Code::Blocks is broken...

You are *not* linking to a library but an executable (application). Thus you either need a main routine or you change your project setup to be a library project.

How would I change it to a library?

Seronis:
'Project' menu -> 'Properties' menu option -> 'Build Targets' tab

Right side of the dialog, 2nd field, is a pull down menu.

I can't click on properties.
It's un-selectable.
