DirectX 10 Compile Problems

[Blahrg]

I realize this might not be the place to ask this, but I've tried many places and just seem to be ignored, I hope you guys can help.

I'm getting some problems that I can't seem to fix when I try to compile my code.

I get this error:

error C2660: 'D3DX10CreateEffectFromFileW' : function does not take 12 arguments

And it applies to this line:

r = D3DX10CreateEffectFromFile(L"../GameLib/DefaultShader.fx", NULL, NULL, "fx_4_0", shaderFlags, 0, m_pDevice, NULL, NULL, &m_pDefaultEffect, &pErrors, NULL);

Now the problem would usually seem obvious, but the problem is that the function actually does take 12 arguments. So I would guess that this error has something to do with the linker error or vise-versa.



I also get this error, which I realize is a linking error but I've linked all the correct libraries.

error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _D3DX10CreateTextureFromFileW@20

These are what I have linked

ws2_32.lib
winmm.lib
dsound.lib
dinput8.lib
d3d10.lib
d3dx10.lib
dxguid.lib
odbc32.lib
odbccp32.lib
d3dx10d.lib

Is your project configured for multi-byte character set? That looks like a possible cause.

[Blahrg]

I've tried that, it causes more errors.

It could be a problem that you link d3dx10.lib and d3dx10d.lib at the same time...the functions will be identical so this may cause an error.

Took out d3dx10d.lib while leaving d3dx10.lib in and still got the errors.

Tried taking out d3dx10.lib while leaving d3dx10d.lib and again still got the errors.

I honestly have no idea what the problem is.

Fixed these errors, stupid me had the library referencing to June 2007 SDK when this is more recent then that.

r = D3DX10CreateEffectFromFile(L"../GameLib/DefaultShader.fx", NULL, NULL, "fx_4_0", shaderFlags, 0, m_pDevice, NULL, NULL, &m_pDefaultEffect, &pErrors, NULL);

Take out the L in front of the filename, and set the character set of your project to multi-byte.
