TOPIC:

I had the same problem on my WinXP SP3.

I downloaded the MS DirectX End-User Runtime (about 95 Mbytes) and installed it, then rebooted and rebuilt all but I still have the D3D9.dll error.

I then tried to comment out the directx11 line as suggested by almsoares and rebuilt all, now CT 2.90 starts with no errors.

In our LAB we have 5 PC with WinXP and with CodeTyphon 2.90

There must be something else that you have installed in your WinXP machines because I can't get CT 2.90 to work even after installing the runtime as you suggested.

Thanks Sir
we will fix this soon

Muchas gracias ! (spanish)

I do not know English well, sorry (Google translator)
it is possible to use DirectX instead of OpenGL?

[ERROR]: Lazarus32 BIG-IDE NOT Build

Cop, you should delete C:/codetyphon/lazarus/components/pl_Win_DirectX11 folder and re-build lazarus.

I tried aas you suggested, but the damm thing just reappears, leaving me again with the small ide, also trying to delete just after it has been recopied didn't solve the issue, when I afterwards try to open the lazarus it claims that the directx11 package was marked for installation, and just opens the small ide again. Why did this worked out the first time and not anymore the second time.
What other files needs to be changed, also when you select remove all, built all or remove lazarus built lazarus it always copies all files again.

Thanks for your assistance.

Open your small ide (that calims to be big in the CT center) and remove directx11 and orca.
Then you should press "Save and relaunch" (the 3rd buttonin the install/remove packages window).
Alternatively you could rebuil lazarus using profile "MyProfile" from "Service" menu.

I've done it a couple of minutes ago and it works.
The next move is after CT development team - I think they would re-pack and re-upload installation package

PS: do not rebuild all but only lazarus itself.

Tried it, but now my lazarus.exe claims to be corrupted, well back to 2.80 version. Will wait until a new releae pops up.

Well, althoug I managed to compile 2.9 I'm too gonna stay with 2.8 for a while...

CodeTyphon 2.90 in not compatible with Windows XP. It's because Direct3DCreate9Ex is supported only in Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, and Windows 7. Earlier versions of the D3D9.dll library do not include Direct3D9Ex and Direct3DCreate9Ex. You will get "The procedure entry point Direct3DCreate9Ex could not be located in the dynamic link library d3d9.dll" error when you build Lazarus using CodeTyphon and try to run it under Windows XP.

So... did anyone manage to fix this yet?

Please, enclose quotations in "[ quote ]" tag. At the first moment I thought you're stating it, not quoting
And back to business... If you don't like solutions on this forum then (maybe) you should PM Sternas?

So... did anyone manage to fix this yet?

If you want to start BigIde from 2.90 on XP, you must manually remove package pl_win_directx11 and pl_AsphyreSphinx & pl_ORCA (contain directx11 package depending code).

from /bin/src/lazarus_mod_src.zip
from /lazarus/components - Makefile & Makefile.fpc
from /lazarus/ide - Makefile & Makefile.fpc & lazarus.pp
- please remove all strings with problem packages info

from /lazarus/packager/globallinks - remove links to problem packages

from /bin/settings/win32/slazarus:
from miscellaneousoptions.xml & packagefiles.xml - remove xml parts, that describes a problem packages

from /scriptsWin/x_Lazarus_Win32_build.bat remove all strings, contains compilation form problem packages.

rebuild lazarus by std for CodeTyphon method.

(from topick www.pilotlogic.com/sitejoom/index.php/fo.../2289-error-d3d9-dll)

I will install 2.8 version or wait for 3.0....

Cheers,
