Is this ActivePerl 5.8.x or 5.6.x? I'm guessing 5.8, but I would like someone to confirm it. Kunnis Basiat

I have winxp pro 64 bit, and there isn't a 2003 DirectX SDK for me. I used the April 2006 and i didn't have any problems. Should we add this as a suggestion? Where should we put tips and tricks we figure out? Kunnis Basiat

Platform SDK vs the DirectX SDK

Right at the top:

Make sure that the includes and libraries paths have the DirectX SDK paths first, then the Platform SDK paths, and then the Visual C++ paths.

I just downloaded fresh copies of the platform and dx sdks, and this doesn't work. You need to have the platform sdk includes come first, or you get a conflict in the two versions of basetsd.h.

is the version of the platform sdk linden is using not the RC2 version that downloads now from the website?
