One error with a vanila install of TSE + VC2008

Hi guys :)

I tried to install the TSE using VC++ Express 2008 and following the basic instructions from the help file but....

I get one error...

Error 3 error C2065: 'D3DXSHADER_OPTIMIZATION_LEVEL3' : undeclared identifier c:\Torque\TGEA_1_7_1\engine\source\gfx\D3D9\gfxD3D9Effect.cpp 69


#ifdef TORQUE_DEBUG
   U32 flags = D3DXSHADER_DEBUG;
#else
   U32 flags = D3DXSHADER_OPTIMIZATION_LEVEL3;
#endif

Any one had the same problem? I'm atm searching for a solution a trying to understand, but if any one knows just give me a hand ;)

Thanks in advance,


EDIT: I forgot to mention that it runs well, but never the less, I'm still trying to understand the problem...

Is your dx sdk up to date?

Don't blame the SDK... blame me :)

Delete the entire #else part. D3DXSHADER_OPTIMIZATION_LEVEL3 is a DX10 flag--it's not supported on DX9.

Kick my butt for not testing the non-debug path and kick my butt again for not reading the docs thoroughly enough.

Note to self: do proper research before publicly blaming myself.

The non-debug path was tested. And I read the docs properly. DX9 is using the DX10 compiler and the flag is available.

@The Fallen
I suspect you are using an older DirectX SDK, quite like Dan suggested. Must be using the DX9 compiler still and thus not have the flag.

Yes it was that. In my laptop I have the last DX SDK but in my PC I still had one from 2006...

Only good now :) Many many thanks for the quick and good replys :)
