Re: hxclientkit question

Hi Daniel, 

1. I successfully compiled and run the "main.cpp" in test folder with ogg file. In fact, a new windows appeared but I could not hear the sound, may it be the problem with sound driver? By the way, thanks a lot for your help

2. I tested to compile "main.cpp" with eclipse since my job is to integrate helix DNA into another existing multimedia project. I was not quite sure about which directories I should include, so I just included ../player/hxclientkit/pub and player/hxclientkit/dbg/libhxclient.a.
Then, I got the following error

Description	Resource	Path	Location	Type
make: *** [HelixTest] Error 1	HelixTest		0	C/C++ Problem
undefined reference to `ClientPlayerClose'	main.cpp	HelixTest	295	C/C++ Problem
undefined reference to `ClientPlayerCreate'	main.cpp	HelixTest	251	C/C++ Problem
undefined reference to `ClientPlayerOpenURL'	main.cpp	HelixTest	253	C/C++ Problem
undefined reference to `ClientPlayerPlay'	main.cpp	HelixTest	254	C/C++ Problem

Do you have any idea or suggestion? Thanks a lot for your time

Best regards,

Tran Hoang Thanh
