Compile problems with Caleb's DX8 includes
I'm try to use direct draw, not direct 3d 


include \masm32\include\user32.inc

include \masm32\include\kernel32.inc

include \masm32\directx8\include\ddraw.def

include \masm32\include\windows.inc

includelib \masm32\lib\user32.lib

includelib \masm32\lib\kernel32.lib

includelib \masm32\directx8\lib\ddraw.lib


Yes I put windows.inc after the ddraw.def, because it will not work before.

I get an error that I am missing olectl.inc. This file is not part of MASM32, where can I get it?

Is there anything else I must include??

Thanks.

I've not had a lot of luck with Caleb's wigged out includes myself either,
but I can tell you this much: you plan on using DX8, you won't be needing any DirectDraw stuff, because DirectDraw was swallowed whole by D3D8.
Check out GameDev.net tutorials on "enhanced 2D" ... also check out the DX8 "donuts3D" example as it uses a 2D splash sceen in d3d.
You will see that most ppl are making a 2d surface in 3d, and pointing the camera at it in 3d so it LOOKS 2d.

ThoughtCriminal,
I uploaded ddraw.inc and ddraw.lib in a previous post. They do not require any obscure includes.
I also attahced a radasm project dmonstratin ddraw in action.
