Pesky errors won't go away.

[Pokey38]

Hello MPGH community.
This is Pokey38 here, And I've just re-started making Combat arms hacks.

sadly, I keep getting the errors that are most common.

Before I say them I will have to ask, please don't troll or such because I do know what i'm doing these just won't go away.

I get three of the same errors...C1083: Cannot open include file: 'd3dx9.h': No such file or directory...

Yeah this is a noobish error. I have already included all of my DirectX stuff. same with the librarys, these errors shouldn't be here. I don't know what I did wrong. And I have tried google, but the results are all the same.

Dear Sir, please make acquaintances with Google: C1083: Cannot open include file: 'd3dx9.h': No such file or directory - Google Search.

I have already tried google, the only things they said, Is stuff I have already done. next time please be more infomative. and not being a smartass

I don't see how linking to Google to help you solve an issue that appears almost daily in this section can be considered "smartass".

Here are some extracts of what Google thrown at me, courtesy of the source websites.

Sounds like your d3d9 dir is not in your include enviroment...there are a couple of ways to fix this...easiest/quickest is to add the full path to the #include statement...and rebuild all.

#include "<absolute path to DirectX includes>"

You'll need to add your DirectX includes into your project, which are usually located at C:\Program Files\Microsoft DirectX SDK (August 2009).

In VS '10, Project Properteries -> C++ -> VC++ Directories

In <= 08, these can be found under Tools -> Options -> VC++ Directories

I've personally answered this over 100 times, by the way. There's a point where you get tired of spending 10 minutes answering a question when the author could have spent much less using a search engine.

Okay, I've included the directx includes once again, and the library. I now get a NEW error =\

"LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _D3DXCreateFontA@48"

EDIT:
It's working now. thanks for your help, even though it didn't help much. Glad the mpgh community is nice enough to help newer hackers. A lot has changed sense I last made a hack. so yeah.

Please ensure that you add the libs to the VC++ directories as well.

I didn't copy and paste anything. I had problems with my includes and library, but its working now.
