Compilation on win32
I all,
I tried to rebuild OpenAlchemist on win32 (yes I know shame on me... 
) and it is a complete nightmare.
I gathered all the required libraries that ClanLib needs.
Now I'm stuck with the ClanDisplay lib because this one seems to use DirectX8 SDK files or lib but I have DirectX 9.0c.
So I am not able to find how to compile display_window_win32.cpp properly. (Because of LPDIRECTINPUT8 definition)
I found some advices on including Dinput8.h instead of Dinput.h but I cannot find this header.
Could you please give a hand one this?
Does the person who made portage on win32 can give me where he get his/her sources?
Maybe it could be usefull to add sort of package containing lib needed to download on your website for the win32 compilation (or maybe not 
)
Thank you for your help

Re: Compilation on win32
OK, so here are the clanlib compiled files and here are the compiled clanlib dependances.
It's compiled with and for Visual Studio 2008 Express. I don't know if it will work with other compilers.
Download it and then follow this instructions :
ClanLib instructions wrote:
1. Select File->New...
2. Select Projects->Win32 Application, and specify where you want it located.
3. Select "An empty project", and press OK till you're finished with the wizard.
4. Select Project->Settings...
Notice there are several configurations in which you can modify settings.
Normally, these are 'Win32 Debug' and 'Win32 Release'. You switch between
these in the 'Settings for:' droplist.
In section 5 and 6 below, you need to modify both these settings
(sections a for release setting, and sections b for debug settings).
5. Select the 'C/C++' tab, and then Category 'Code Generation'
5a. For Release version, change the 'Use run-time library' to Multithreaded.
5b. For Debug version, change the 'Use run-time library' to Debug Multithreaded.
Then, my instructions :
* Add the include and lib folders of my .zip(s) in the project propreties (C++/Others Includes and Linker/Others libs).
* Add all the source files of OpenAlchemist in your project.
* Compile
* Switch to Linux, where it's realy easier ! (apt-get install libclanlib-dev)
Actually, I have the same problem as you with dinput.lib...

Re: Compilation on win32
Thank you very much for your time and your concern.
Actually I already have done steps 1 to 5 and I was adding libs on the linker demands , and so compiled them one by one this way...
I will try that as soon as I can but my version of visual is 6.0, I hope this could work.
In fact, in the mean time, I switched to linux as I just re-installed an ubuntu mint version. So I think that I will begin by try it on linux first.
Thank you again

Re: Compilation on win32
Ok, then, I tried the compiled library that you gave me on win32 and it does not seem to work... I did not try really hard but there were so many linking problem that I gived up on this side...
I tried on my ubuntu and I bless the guy who has got one blessed day the idea of "apt-get" ... Need a library, pff too easy 
Now I have Clanlib correctly installed I am able to recompile the source code !
