[Bf-committers] Compiling NDOF plugin on VC2005ce

[Ettore Pasquini]

Steve, did you apply both these patches (I sent them yesterday) ?

http://cubelogic.org/blender/ghost_ndof_fix.patch
http://cubelogic.org/blender/ghost_ndof_fix_win.patch

The first one in particular removes a double invocation of the
ndofDeviceOpen() function.

I verified your console output with the one I get and it's almost the same
except I get an additional line at the end:

3Dconnexion device initialization successul

You should also get it (either that or at least a "NOT successful" line)

Also -- just checking the obvious :-) -- the 3Dx driver should be up and
running and make sure you don't have accidentally two instances running. (It
a bug on the driver if you have them, but still...)

Ettore
