Getting Started Building on Windows
« on: June 21, 2011, 11:17:55 PM »
Hi,

I'm using OIS to create a browser plugin to handle joystick input and pass it through to JavaScript. Everything builds fine in Linux when I follow the build instructions, but I can't seem to figure out how to get it building in WindowsXP.

I've installed the latest DirectX, and opened ois.sln in Visual C++ 2010 Express but I'm getting the error: LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'dxguid.lib'

Any tips on getting started with building on windows, preferably a step by step getting started guide.

Thanks in advance.

After installing DirectX SDK, you have to setup your paths in the IDE's directories settings. I'm pretty sure in Visual Studio it is: Tools -> Options -> Projects and Solutions -> VC++ Directories (Though, seems to be slightly different in VC2010).

Anyway, you need to not only add include paths, but also lib paths.
