What's wrong with this simple DirectX prg?

Hi all,

I just want to print the results of subtraction of two vectors.
I installed VC++ 2005 express and DirectX SDK April 2006

Project types: Visual C++, Win32, Win32 Console Application, Empty project

#include
#include
main(){
D3DXVECTOR3 A3 (5.0f,2.6f,10.f);
D3DXVECTOR3 B3 (2.0f,3.4f,3.0f);
D3DXVECTOR3 C3=A3-B3;
printf("C3=A3-B3=(5.0f,2.6f,10.2)-(2.0f,3.4f,3.0f)=(%f,%f,%f)\n",C3.x,C3.y,c3.z);
return 0;
}


When I run the prg, I get...
------ Build started: Project: start, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------
Compiling...
start.cpp
c:\program files\microsoft directx sdk (april 2006)\include\d3d9.h(40) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'objbase.h': No such file or directory

start - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)
========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========

Configuration settings of VC++ 2005 express:
Tools>options
"Projects and Solutions" > VC++ Directories
(1) Platform: Win32; Show directories for: Include files
C:\Program Files\Microsoft DirectX SDK (April 2006)\Samples\C++\Common
C:\Program Files\Microsoft DirectX SDK (April 2006)\Include
$(VCInstallDir)include
$(VCInstallDir)PlatformSDK\include
$(FrameworkSDKDir)include

(2) Platform: Win32; Show directories for: Library files
C:\Program Files\Microsoft DirectX SDK (April 2006)\Lib\x86
$(VCInstallDir)lib
$(VCInstallDir)PlatformSDK\lib
$(FrameworkSDKDir)lib
$(VSInstallDir)
$(VSInstallDir)lib

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
:)

If you've set the library includes up correctly, try adding all the lib files to your project (same as adding .h file).
Also your printf has c3.z instead of C3.z

Hi Chris,

Do you have "objbase.h" on your computer? Where is it?

Thanks in advance

I'm not a home at the moment and I use Visual Studio .NET. (I don't know if this makes a difference or not.). I'll have a look into it when I get home but I must confess I can't recall objbase.h from anywhere..

It works. I add this line to VC++ directories - include files
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2\Include"

and change to
int main()

Thanks a lot.
