Question

Having trouble creating my swap chain. I receive the following error.

DX3dApp.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _D3D10CreateDeviceAndSwapChain@32 referenced in function "public: bool __thiscall DX3dApp::InitDirect3D(void)" (?InitDirect3D@DX3dApp@@QAE_NXZ)

Below is the code ive done so far.

#include "DX3dApp.h"




bool DX3dApp::Init(HINSTANCE hInstance, int width, int height)
{
    mhInst = hInstance;
    mWidth = width;
    mHeight = height;

    if(!WindowsInit())
    {
        return false;
    }
    if(!InitDirect3D())
    {
        return false;
    }
}

int DX3dApp::Run()
{
     MSG msg = {0};

     while (WM_QUIT != msg.message)
    {
        while (PeekMessage(&msg, NULL, 0, 0, PM_REMOVE) == TRUE)
        {
            TranslateMessage(&msg);
            DispatchMessage(&msg);
        }

        Render();
    }

    return (int) msg.wParam;
}

You are not linking against the D3D library (D3D10.lib).

Add that library to your linker options (Project properties -> Linker -> Input -> Additional Dependencies). You will need to make sure the library location is in the “Additional Library Directories” path as well.
