verifying SDK installation |
|
|
I just completed installation of DirectX December '05 SDK. I was of the notion I'd have everything I needed to build filter graphs, but at first glance this isn't working.
Many examples I've been studying include "dshow.h". I did a "dir dshow*.h* /s" starting at the root on my drive C: and it's nowhere to be found. I did a recursive findstr /i /s /c:"IBasicVideo" and it's nowwhere to be found.
I've installed the WMP 10 SDK, WMF 9.5 SDK, and the December DirectX. Am I missing something, and if not is there an easy way to make sure everything installed correctly? I should have a "dshow.h" file, right?
Or do I also need to install the Windows Media 9 Series SDKs?
It's not entirely clear, but it seems I'm missing something. I'm just not sure what it is or how to verify what I have.
Thanks!

Okay, I think I stumbled onto my answer.
Allegedly DirectShow is not part of the DirectX SDK. While that might be blatantly obvious to the masses, those of us new to WMP, WMF, etc, would pretty much figure with all the talk about DirectX/DirectShow, they'd be part of the same install image.
Apparently not, though I can't say for sure yet because I'm in the midst of installing the Windows Platform SDK as I type, but if what I found is correct, you have to install the Platform SDK to be able to compile DirectShow apps.
Personally, I find that problematic. It's kind of hard to figure out all the SDK's you need in the first place, but when related applications are distributed like this it really makes it challenging.
Guess that's why we get the big bucks, eh.... which reminds me, where's my check?!?!?

I do still have an issue with the installation...
It seems now when I include Dshow.h certain functions are miscompiling. For instance, I get an error on a ::wsprintf(... call.
Does anyone know if there is some kind of utility to assist you in determining which header files need to be loaded in which order? Or does anyone have any tips for minimizing side effects of installing new SDKs ?
Much abliged!

First: this is the wrong newsgroup. This newsgroup pertains solely to
Windows Media SDKs, not directshow. Here is the appropriate group for
directshow related questions:
win32.programmer.directx.video
Second, to answer your questions, DirectShow no longer resides in the
DirectX SDK. It's been moved to the Platform SDK. Download that to get all
the necessary DirectShow headers.

Or better yet, download the old Summer 2004 DirectX SDK. It has more
samples, has the samples compiled, has a separate CHM file for dshow and
includes VS project files :)
