Use LibOVR with managed c++/cli (VS2012)
Hello colleagues,
I am trying to access the Rift from C# and have written a CLR wrapper with C++/CLI.
Unfortunately, the wrapper assembly will not load into a C# assembly. Runtime error:
"Could not load file or assembly 'Oculus.dll' or one of its dependencies. The specified module could not be found."
The OculusRoomTiny sample in the same solution builds and runs fine, I have copied all include settings to my wrapper.
In my configuration I have set the platform for all projects to x86/WIN32 or x64, respectively. To no avail.
It has been some 7 years since I have programmed in C++, so a lot will have slipped my mind.
Could you please help me with this?
Thanks,
Andreas Hassmann.

- When you build your Oculus.dll make sure you include winmm.lib.
- thanks for pointing in the library direction, jcollins.
winmm.lib was included, but due to the different approach to resolving dll hell in .NET
it turned out that you must
have a copy of the right version (platform) of d3dcompiler_xx.dll present in the executing assembly directory.
In my case that was
d3dcompiler_46.dll (VS2012)
and is probably
d3dcompiler_47.dll (VS2013) - Or, if you are the rather clever type of .NET developer, you just use
the SharpOVR package by Guy Godin
which is easily included via NuGet.
I will just delete my feeble C++ attempts...
