To show it where the d3dx9.lib, set it up through the IDE as a Library path. On Visual Studio this would be tools\options\Projects and Settings\ C++ Directories. As for getting CC.Net to emulate the vs command prompt; it just seems to..I have never had an issue once I got it running from the vs2008 commmand prompt. One question though you are building it through the express IDE but you also have the visual studio command prompt? does that come with the express? or do you have both products installed? I am wondering if perhaps you have some wierdness where even though you use express, because you have VS2008 installed MSBuild is somehow getting its environment form the wrong tool?
