Windows 7 and DirectX, : tutorial - linker and syntax errors

EDN Admin · Aug 6, 2012

Hi
I am trying to compile the DirectX tutorial samples, the first 2 work, cos theyre easy. But everything else after that doesnt. initially it asks for d3d9.h.
after introducing the following in the include directories in project properties: 

sdkpath inlclude
DXsdk2009include
DXsdk2010include
 

and then in the libary directories:
sdkpathlib
Dx2009libx64
Dx2010libx64
The Unresolved symbol error for the linker stop and evolves into these syntax errors, however they mostly are references to actual structures within DirectX, heres the output :

Now, I know that these are not worth playing with as many of them are probably dependents within another DX object... So what can I do!!!???
I have : tried x86 libaries
reinstalled IDE, Windows sdk, DirectXsdk 2010, DirectXsdk2009
This tutroial is only the icing on the cake, I have other projects that are not compiling. can any one at least help me with the Basic setup of DirectX??!!
Any help whatsoever would be Greatly appreciated, I have spent quite a few hours looking for the solutions for these problems.
