Wrapper Library for Irrlicht Platform and Compiler Support

---

Overview

IrrlichtWrapper is supplied with three sets of files. MSVC versions, GCC versions and Linux Versions. The default version of the files are those compiled with MSVC, these provide support for OpenGL, Direct X 8, Direct X 9 and software rendering. The GCC and Linux versions support both OpenGL and Software rendering.

GCC Compiler

To use the GCC DLLs you need to rename the supplied files: -

1. Rename Irrlicht.dll to Irrlicht_ms.dll
2. Rename IrrlichtWrapper.dll to IrrlichtWrapper_ms.dll
3. Rename Irrlicht_gcc.dll to Irrlicht.dll
4. Rename IrrlichtWrapper_gcc.dll to IrrlichtWrapper.dll

You will now be able to build the IrrlichtWrapper with the GCC compiler and run the examples. You will not be able to use either Direct X rendering mode..

Linux Platform

The supplied linux library files libIrrlicht.so and libIrrlichtWrapper.so can be installed to your, /usr/lib directory, you will then be able to use the freebasic compiler to build and run the example files.

Linux support is limited at the moment the release is tested under Software Rendering on Fedora 11. The supplied libraries may provide reduced performanceand it is recommended that you rebuild both the Irrlicht Library and the IrrlichtWrapper library on your own system to utilise the OpenGL support that may be available on your system.
