So I am working on an example project that displays video from a network stream.
The project is in C++.
After building the project in release, and trying to run the project on a different computer, I get errors on missing DLL files.
These DLL files are located within the installation location of Visual studio.
one example is msvcp140d.dll.
After copying all the missing files, I get a generic error with no specific file.
So:
Is there a way to tell visual studio to add all relevant files when building the project?

I am working on a Visual Studio 2010 c++ project where i have 2 DLL with same name but different version. one is build on VS 2010 and another is on VS 2017. Requirement is there is a number of projects link together and placed there binary on a single folder along with statically linked DLL's. i have to put 2017 DLL on this folder and created a folder here where i put 2010 DLL and its path is set on environment variable, among these projects only 1 project is required to use 2010 version DLL, i read on internet its possible if add DLL in these project's manifest file but not get much info how to achieve it is it possible by manifest or any other way. can anybody please help me to get rid out of that.
Here is the drill. I have a cross-platform project written mostly in C++ (more on this later) that runs on windows, android and ios.
Is there any way in which android studio can be configured to have a custom directory that contains all the native C++ code ? By custom, I mean external to the main folder in which the android studio project resides in.
I'm guessing you can see where I'm getting at... I have a cross-platform project that can be opened from 3 different IDE's... visual studio, android studio and xcode and I want to be able to write / edit / compile the code from all of them.
Let's say I have the following main hierarchy:
projectDir
src (C++ source files .cpp)
include (C++ headers .h)
_visualStudio (visual studio project)
_xcode (xcode project)
_androidStudio (android studio project)
assets (resources .png etc)
others...
This is what I want to achieve, but I am unable to figure out how can I configure an android studio project to be able to accept external source files, but most importantly to be able to see and edit them from the android studio IDE. Basically I want to tell android studio... "Look, this is the path for the native files, treat them as if they belong to the project".
I know this is possible from visual studio and from xcode because I already did that, but up until now I used my own build system for android and I had no need for android studio. Is there any way to achieve this ? Perhaps some kind of symbolic folder links ?
The thing is I want to keep only a single copy of my shared resources (src, include and assets should only be in one place, but should be available for android studio as well).
So far the only solution is to keep them inside android studio project directory, and change visual studio paths to look for them there, but I find this very nonprofessional.
EDIT:
Is there any addFileToProject (as in visual studio) in android studio in which the file can be outside the project ?
After a bit of more digging I found that it is actually possible.
You just have to create a directory junction like this (inside app/src/main/cpp where the files would normally be).
mklink \J linkName linkDestination(can be outside the project)
Android studio will be able to see the containing folder as it's own (it sees it as a link, but you can double click it to expand the contents). You can also edit source files inside it with the only mention that you have to add these files within CMakeLists.txt or whatever build file you are using in order to have intellisense (you get a sync warning from android studio if the files aren't referenced anywhere in the build files).
Later edit... if you are using junctions for Java / Kotlin files in an android studio project, make sure to set the source sets through the junctions as well... in order to avoid visual errors like 'duplicated class'.
I'm an intern working on a machine learning program. While I have learned C++, I have no experience actually making programs or loading existing ones.
The code files were shared to me via one folder.

The circled folder consists of these files:

As you can see, a lot of cpp files. There's an hpp file not shown in the image. A compiled exe is also included
I have Visual Studio (2017). My job is to load the project, make a change to a variable, recompile and then use that exe to complete a simple job.
However, when I load the folder into Visual Studio, I am not able to rebuild/compile the code.

How do I load the code so that I can rebuild and compile a new exe?
I know cmake is a tool which can produce visual studio solution files from source files. I see many of c++ projects are stored in the github in that way. My problem is how create that source. Is there anyway to generate it on visual studio or anyother way.? I have created a project by using visual studio . So I have the solution file. I want to upload it in to github as a portable source which can produce project files later using cmake for anyone.
I have been trying to port my C++ based mass data transport protocol project into visual studio 2010 with no success :(
The code I have been working on is fully compatible with Win based systems..well this is what my mentor also says :) But I have not been able to make the project build and run using my existing *.h & *.cpp files under VS 2010.
The Project basically is a API under which i have 4 separate applications. The hierarchy would be:
SRC FOLDER- all the *.h and respective *.cpp files
APP FOLDER- 4 applications (the API / library and some *.h files to be available before linking such as the final dll file under SRC folder & the main header file under APP folder)
I do also have a makefile as when the project was developed on Linux platform but I have no idea how to implement the same on Visual Studio 2010
FYI: VS 2010 on compiling reports that there are missing header files such as <cstdlib>, <unistd> but my best bet is this is not the real prob. but the prob. lies in the way I make the project build itself. I don't know should I go with making a dynamic dll project for the main library and then make the 4 empty c++ projects inside that for the 4 respective applications..?

I would recommend that you parse the data that you need from the working .mak file that you used previously. Create an empty project & sln, then add the contents of the "src" by using "add->existing files" in the file menu.
At that point open up the project configuration settings and go through the C++ and linker settings one by one. At each step have a look at the linux .mak file and see that you are choosing equivalent options and path settings. In particular make sure that you add all of the necessary include paths to where your .h files are.
That's what I would do anyways... same process as porting forwards old MSVC4 .mak projects to a modern version.
