Compiling the "hello world" example in Irrlicht with Dev-Cpp

In order to compile the demos, or make your own projects using Dev-Cpp, you need to do the following:
Open an example. I'm using the hello world example.
Then, click on the project link in the top nav bar.
In the drop down menu, click on project options.

From there, you need to add your libraries.
Under "parimiters" add the "libIrrlicht.a" from the irrlicht/lib/win32-gcc folder

Under "directories" add the include folder from Irrlicht.

From there, copy the Irrlicht.dll from Irrlicht\bin\win21-gcc to your project folder.
Once that's done, I usually make a new folder inside my project folder named "media" and copy the
needed objects and textures to that folder. Then, I remove the ../../ from in front of the media folder
name in the projects Main.

Then compile. That's it. Click on the exe and it will work.
Please remember that DirectX will not work with Dev-Cpp. You need visual studio to compile with
directX.
Happy compiling.
