DirectX for TMT pascal

TMT pascal pages:  | Home | News | SDK's | Samples |
  
Here you can find DirectX 8.0 / DirectX 9.0 SDK's for TMT pascal compiler 4.0

To install SDK in TMT pascal 4.0 you should:
  1. Unzip provided ZIP file to TMT pascal home directory - by default it's "C:\TMTPL\"
  2. Verify what PAS files from ZIP archive overwrited previous ones in "Source\RTL\Win32\DirectX" directory - newer files are have been modified in 2002 year
  3. Build "_install.pas" extracted from archieve with other DirectX SDK headers
  4. Verify what DirectX FPW units in "UNITS" directory have beed replaced by new ones - you can verify it for just one of the units, i.e. "D3D.fpw"
  5. You can (and probably should) remove "_install.exe" from "UNITS" directory
Current versions should be completely backward compatible with version provided in TMT 4.0 release. Anyway it is always good idea to backup contents of "Units" and "Source\RTL\Win32\DirectX" directories.

Note what Direct3DX 8.1 are not fully compatible at source level with Direct3DX 8.0 - some function different have names others are not parameter compatible - but it's Microsoft decision.
