Hi,

I compiled and run all samples of DXSDK November 2008 but EffectPools sample. It gives an error like this:

'fxc' is not recognized as an internal or external command

My OS is Vista and GPU is 9800GTX+.

Could u help me?

I am having the exact same problem...

Did anyone ever find a fix to this?

Vista / Radeon 3200 HD

fxc is in your DXSDK folder,
you could just point it to the correct path statically.

just right click on .fx file -> change the property

hope this helps :)

Thanks for reply but both VS2005 and VS2008 solution of EffectPools sample of March 2009 SDK works fine. There's no

'fxc' is not recognized as an internal or external command

error anymore.

Ohh really now?

Hi,

I have Rebuilt EffectPools Sample again. This time EffectPools_2005.sln gives " 'fxc' is not recognized ... " error but EffectPools_2008.sln works fine again.

Hi again,

I have deleted and added again these fx files: EffectPools1.fx, EffectPools2.fx, EffectPools3.fx in VS2005.

VS2005 shows up a window like this:

A custom build rule to build files with extension ".fx" could not be found.
Would you like yo create a new file yo define a custom build rule to build files with this extension?

I said "NO" and worked fine in VS2005.

hi,
i met the same problem and google it and found not clear solution.
so i take a guess to fix it and then prove worked...

The reason is because VS is not set to include the newest DX categery...(Utiity/bin/x86,Include,Lib). when set right, this error will go...
