How can I use the directx9.0 sdk under the codelite

[Alex Wang]

As the title, I want to use the directx9.0 sdk, but I don't know how to set the path.Now I already set the Tags Options->Include Files, add the path of directx9.0 sdk,like this:H:\DXSDK\Include,H:\DXSDK\Lib, but I still can't compile my programme.The error is: ddraw.h:No such file or directory.
Thank you!

Hi Alex,

if I understand you right, you have added the paths only to the tag options, which is for code completion.
You must add the include path to your compiler settings and the lib path to your linker settings.

At first,I appreciate you taking the time to reply to me.
I understand what your mean.But I don't know how to set the parameter.
I select the project then click the setting,but I don't know what can I do next.There are four options I can fill under the Complier Option——Compiler Options,Additional Search Path,Preprocessor and Using pre-compiled header via this header file,and three under the Linker——Options,Library Path,Libraries.Of course maybe use the vc++ will easily solve this problem.
But I don't want waste time in downloading the tools.

in Compiler Options->Additional Search Path enter the include path H:\DXSDK\Include,
then in Linker Options->Library Path enter the library path H:\DXSDK\Lib,
then in Linker Options->Libraries add the libraries you need to link against.

Thanks a lot for your reply.But I do the same work,and noting useful.The error as following:
mingw32-make[1]: *** No rule to make target `ddraw.h', needed by `ddraw.h.gch'. Stop.
mingw32-make.exe: *** [All] Error 2

I am sorry.The error is:
g++ -o ./Debug/T3DLIB1 ./Debug/main.o ./Debug/t3dlib1.o "-L." "-LH:/DXSDK/Lib" -lddraw.h -ddraw
h:/mingw-4.4.1/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.4.1/../../../../mingw32/bin/ld.exe: cannot find -lddraw.h

frank_frl , thank you very much.The problem is solved.You're right.I give the wrong libraries name.Now I correct the error.Thanks again.
