exe error: The 3D Engine can't be initialized!

Post by sampb »

Hi all,

I try to compile the example "light.pb" in the folder "..\example\source".
When I run the light.exe, it returns this error. Why?
What is missing?

Thanks in advance
:)

we need a bit more information to help out, sampb

what version of PB are you using?
what OS?
if windows, do you have DirectX 7+ installed?
what kind of graphics card are you using?
have you tried any of the other 3D samples successfully?
there is no sig, only zuul (and the following disclaimer)

Thank you, Comtois and citystate.
I copied all the dll files of folder "compiler" into "source". It works!
