Compiling or Editing the Panda Source

Has anybody had success building the cvs version of panda with DirectX? What version did you use? What about the August 2009 SDK?

I’m getting this with that SDK:

Everything builds OK without dx9. I’m using VS 2008 Pro on Windows 7 - 64.

My settings:

makepanda\makepanda.bat --everything --verbose --optimize 3 --no-maya6 --no-maya65 --no-maya7 --no-maya8 --no-maya85 --no-tinyxml --no-maya2008 --no-maya2009 --no-max6 --no-max7 --no-max8 --no-max9 --no-max2009 --no-max2010 --no-dx8 --no-python --no-jpeg --no-tiff --no-vrpn --no-fmodex --no-openssl --no-fftw --no-artoolkit --no-squish --no-ode --no-directcam --no-npapi --no-opencv --no-ffmpeg --no-fcollada --no-gtk2 --no-wx

Gogg, have you looked into updating panda3d to use direct X 10 or 11?

I just saw this by chance when I was looking for another post. I won’t be interested in that for at least 2 more years, probably, seeing as a lot of users are still using XP. What we need is geometry instancing and shaders in the DX9 gsg.
