clanlib 0.8 asks for dinput.dll

[cherrywilliams]

clanlib 0.8 refers to a directx library dinput.dll when some where in the source code. this however causes a problem with newer versions of directx as the name of dinput.dll has been changed to dinput8.dll . the problem can be fixed just by making a copy of dinput8.dll renaming it to dinput.dll and putting it in the same lib directory as all other directx libraries. i don't know if this has been fixed in later versions or caught by those smarter than me.

thanks just thought i'd let you know

by the way i am running windows vista 32bit with directx10 sdk

We have known this for a while. It was fixed for ClanLib 0.9, but not for ClanLib 0.8

Now fixed in ClanLib 0.8 SVN.

Thanks

Another windows problem compiling with VC8.0: windows has not unistd.h

I get a clanCore-static-mt-debug.lib(init_win32.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp__timeBeginPeriod@4 referenced in function "void __cdecl init_system(void)" (?init_system@@YAXXZ) when trying to compile with the new svn version.

Shouldn't clanlib request the systemlibs it needs?

Hey gpmfuchs, applied your patch, thanks.

Hrm, it's strange my system can build the examples ok without manually adding winmm.lib. Maybe a difference in how VS8 Pro vs VS8/9 Express handles this?

I went ahead and added a #pragma comment(lib, "winmm.lib") to core.h, hopefully this will fix it.
