it's something to do with sound, but i don't know what, and sorry, but i don't know how to solve this(i know, i said that for the 1000000th time, but whatever)

[zhuaple]

Okay, i solved it. Dunno wether it's the right way or not, but i just added sound_player_ds8.cpp file to the source folder of the Glest project.
Now i have some new problems and since no one wants to answer in this topic i will create another one

I suppose it's about DirectX, right?

I've never compiled with DirectX, but try to find out in the documentation of DirectX or DirectSound what to add to your project configuration to link the DirectX libraries at compilation...

[zhuaple]

The thing is i dunno how to compile without it.. I mean.. there are folders such as d3d9 and openal and i guess they are not used when i'm using gl folder and ds8 folder:(
i wish i could have some tip on using d3d instead of gl and open al instead of ds8...

[martiño]

When you compile Glest you have to choose between direct sound 8 and openal and between the win32 api and sdl, just compile the files in the folders you want and ignore the others. There is no d3d option, the only supported graphics API is OpenGL.

The error you are getting is a link error inside the code, just look for the cpp file thet contains the implementation of the function and compile it.

[zhuaple]

I solved the problem with linking, but it still asks me for files wich are in ds8 folder, even if i include openal instead of it..
