CoderLaureate had the same problem im just not sure how he fixed it.

could someone explain what environment variable stuff is. everything is installed in the default directorys so if some that has it working can just tell me what there enviroment variable entres are.

thanks hope you can help Pete

You don't *have to* use the module version.
Can't you just include the minib3d.bmx ?

the error you point out might come from the fact that there is a little error in the thread.

The MingW variable must be present for all users, not only vista ...

And no you can not just include minib3d.bmx as it has C++ relations as well which need mingw working

i had a missing system varible it all works great now, got a few pointers from klepto2 and smilertoo in the blitz irc channel

thanks for you help anyway dreamora

Same problem here could someone let me know what system variable?

MingW variable most likely, pointing to your mingw install path ( c:\program files\mingW)

as the mingw installation already adds the path variable itself pointing to the mingw\bin subpath
