compile with visual c++ 2005 express?
compile with visual c++ 2005 express?
is it possible to compile and link using ms visual c++ 2005 express edition? i have a small utility that i need to port from linux to windows. i downloaded the express program, sp1, and windows platform sdk, but i'm not having much luck. the examples will generally compile, but linking is a problem. typical errors look like this:
code:
exhostappservices.obj : error lnk2019: unresolved external symbol __imp__regenumvaluew@32 referenced in function "public: virtual bool __thiscall exhostappservices::ttffilenamebydescriptor(class odttfdescriptor const &,class odstring &)" (?ttffilenamebydescriptor@exhostappservices@@uae_nabvodttfdescriptor@@aavodstring@@@z)
dd_vc8md_gi.lib(odtruetypefont.obj) : error lnk2001: unresolved external symbol __imp__regenumvaluew@32
exhostappservices.obj : error lnk2019: unresolved external symbol __imp__regclosekey@4 referenced in function "public: virtual bool __thiscall exhostappservices::ttffilenamebydescriptor(class odttfdescriptor const &,class odstring &)" (?ttffilenamebydescriptor@exhostappservices@@uae_nabvodttfdescriptor@@aavodstring@@@z)
dd_vc8md_gi.lib(odtruetypefont.obj) : error lnk2001: unresolved external symbol __imp__regclosekey@4
thanks,

add "advapi32.lib" to the libraries list.
vladimir
do you mean the setting for options>vc++ directories?
if so, then c:\program files\microsoft platform sdk\lib is already listed there and advapi32.dll is in that directory.
now that i study it some more, i think i could use some help setting up the vc++ directories. currently i have the following references to oda files:
library files:
d:\oda\lib\vc8mt
d:\oda\lib\vc8md
should i also put the debug directories in there? do i need to list the exe directory or the include directory anywhere? what is the difference between the mt and md? obviously, i'm not familiar with the windows interface. if you can help me get configured so the examples will build, i'll be able to learn more as i go along.
thanks very much,
mark

you can either add the lib directly in the project settings, or in code you can:
code:
#pragma comment(lib, 'advapi32.lib') // requires registry api functions
in your code.
personally, i set the folders for the libs in the project settings, but i use pragma's in code to know which libs i require.
fair warning, i believe they are ms/windows specific, so if you intended to make cross platform compilable code you would either #define them out or have them in the project settings...
as far as...
code:
library files:
d:\oda\lib\vc8mt
d:\oda\lib\vc8md
you should only have one directory in there, dependent on your project settings..
what i have done, again as windows specific is..

then all you need to worry about is having the appropriate lib path per project configuration.
you may (and, perhaps, should) use ready project files for compiling examples.
then, having a working example, you may fix your project accordingly.
static md configuration: \projectfiles\win32\msvc8\allexamples.sln.
dll configuration: \projectfiles\win32\msvc8\allexamplesdll.sln.
md/mt differ in the c runtime usage (dynamc vs. static runtime)
(using #pragma(lib), as suggested above, is ... questionable)

so i edited the vc++ directories so there is a reference to vc8mt but not vc8md. then i loaded the allexamples.sln and tried to build odreadex from there. but i still have the link errors:

exhostap etc etc etc
i get similar results if i build the entire allexamples.

that's queer. anyway, add the library advapi32.lib to the libraries list:
"project properties" > linker > additional dependencies
vladimir
that improved things a lot! now there are only 3 remaining unresolved externals:
