Linking with glog library - c++

I'm trying to use the glog logging library (LINK).
In VS2012 (I'm on Windows 8 Professional 64-bit (Japanese)), I create an empty solution with a single main.cpp file like the one in the documentation (LINK).
Also I import the glog project inside the solution (either the dll one or the static library one) and set the project dependency.
To avoid some errors I have to comment out line 97 from port.h:
/* In windows-land, hash<> is called hash_compare<> (from xhash.h) */
#define hash hash_compare
While glog compiles, the main application gives me unresolved external symbol erros (with both dll and static version).
1>main.obj : error LNK2019: 未解決の外部シンボル "void __cdecl google::InitGoogleLogging(char const *)" (?InitGoogleLogging#google##YAXPBD#Z) が関数 _main で参照されました。
1>main.obj : error LNK2019: 未解決の外部シンボル "public: __thiscall google::LogMessage::LogMessage(char const *,int)" (??0LogMessage#google##QAE#PBDH#Z) が関数 _main で参照されました。
1>main.obj : error LNK2019: 未解決の外部シンボル "public: __thiscall google::LogMessage::~LogMessage(void)" (??1LogMessage#google##QAE#XZ) が関数 _main で参照されました。
I'm compiling as Win32.
If I check the debug folder it actually contains the dll+lib or static lib file.
I also tried linking to the library manually without using the visual studio dependency system, but it's the same.

I've built glog for MSVS2012 from trunk (little patch mentioned in header already presented here, as i know), so it works for me.
Looks like your dependency description of glog library is missing.
Can you add windows-specific
#pragma comment(lib, "path_to_glog_from_project_dir.lib")
to one of your project files, for example, directly into main.cpp and test it.

C++ - Unable to link in libyaml using Visual Studio 2019/CMake

Attempting to link in libyaml (0.2.5) using Visual Studio 2019 Enterprise and CMake, as I have a cross-platform (Linux/Windows) project that uses this library. According to the documentation, this library should work in Windows 10. It links in just fine on Linux (64-bit machine).
I'm compiling it as a static lib, and it has no issue generating the .lib file. I've copied it to the appropriate location that I'm linking in from my CMakelists.txt, as well as the header.
When I link it in from my project on Windows:
ts.lib(yamlparser.cxx.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp_yaml_parser_initialize referenced in function "public: bool __cdecl YAMLParser::parse_cfg(void)" (?parse_cfg#YAMLParser##QEAA_NXZ)
ts.lib(yamlparser.cxx.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp_yaml_parser_set_input_file referenced in function "public: bool __cdecl YAMLParser::parse_cfg(void)" (?parse_cfg#YAMLParser##QEAA_NXZ)
ts.lib(yamlparser.cxx.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp_yaml_parser_scan referenced in function "public: bool __cdecl YAMLParser::parse_cfg(void)" (?parse_cfg#YAMLParser##QEAA_NXZ)
This is what I'm doing on the CMake side - the very same thing I'm doing to link in my GoogleTest libraries on both Linux and Windows:
if (UNIX)
...
...
else()
set (MY_LIB_DIR "C:/mylib/lib")
set (MY_INCLUDE "C:/mylib/include")
set (YAML_LIB "${MY_LIB_DIR}/yaml.lib")
set (VCPKG_LIBRARY_LINKAGE static)
endif()
include_directories(${MY_INCLUDE})
add_library(ts
...
...
)
add_executable(myexec main.cxx)
target_link_libraries(myexec ts ${YAML_LIB})
VS isn't giving me many clues here except that there's a linkage problem that I can't quite figure out.
Any advice on how I can debug this or what the problem may be?
The __imp was the clue that my code was trying to include the library dynamically... Opening up yaml.h, I noticed that it tries to export from DLL unless YAML_DECLARE_STATIC is defined. Defined this in CMake and my issue is resolved.

How to build a static Clucene library to avoid any linker errors

I work with Windovs and I need to build a static CLucene library. I downloaded the latest source code and build them into Visual Studio 2010 Project through CMake-gui 3.4.3. When building I used a flag BUILD_STATIC_LIBRARIES = true. I successfully built two libraries: clucene-core-statics and clucene-shared-static. However, when I run the test project cl-test-static occurs a lot of linker errors. The same thing happens when I add these libraries in another test project.
Error Example:
Error 1 error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol
"__declspec(dllimport) public: static wchar_t * __cdecl
lucene::queryParser::QueryParser::escape(wchar_t const *)"
(__imp_?escape#QueryParser#queryParser#lucene##SAPA_WPB_W#Z)
referenced in function "public: void __thiscall Main::Start(void)"
(?Start#Main##QAEXXZ) c:\Users\user\documents\visual studio
2010\Projects\TestClucene\TestClucene\Main.obj TestClucene
Does anyone have any experience in building static CLucene libraries?

VC++ Problems using gumbo-query (linking error)

I've got a VC++ project, and I'm attempting to use the extension of the gumbo-query library, found here. This library wraps/extends Google's gumbo-parser found here. The following is the exact steps I've taken - I'm not very familiar with importing libraries, so I've done what I do to use the Boost libraries:
In Visual Studio (VS Community 2013), under the project settings -> Configuration Properties -> C/C++ -> General I have put the path to a folder that contains all of the source files from both of the projects linked above. Specifically, I placed the .c, .cpp and .h files from the src folder of both projects and referenced these in my projects settings as an include directory.
Following the example file for the project that extends Google's gumbo-parser (found here), I added these two lines to import the library:
#include "Document.h"
#include "Node.h"
At this point, my solution compiles fine. However, continuing to follow the example file, adding the first variable declaration:
CDocument d;
Causes a linker error, as follows:
1>Main.obj : error LNK2028: unresolved token (0A0003B7) "public: __thiscall CDocument::CDocument(void)" (??0CDocument##$$FQAE#XZ) referenced in function "private: void __clrcall MyApplication::Main::worker_DoWork(class System::Object ^,class System::ComponentModel::DoWorkEventArgs ^)" (?worker_DoWork#Main#MyApplication##$$FA$AAMXP$AAVObject#System##P$AAVDoWorkEventArgs#ComponentModel#4##Z)

1>..{omitted}..\MyApplication.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 4 unresolved externals
This error appears to occur no matter where I put a CDocument instantiation.
What can I do to rectify this? VS seems to think the includes are fine, and moreso when I put in CDocument d; it lights up to show it recognises the CDocument type.
As always, it's clear I've been a JS developer for too long. I really did need to compile a .lib file. Thank you to Christian for reminding me of this.
The original gumbo-parser project by Google includes a VS project. I opened this and compiled it, fixing all of the project settings problems so that I could import it into my project, which I did via the Configuration Properties -> Linker -> Input -> Additional Dependencies setting for my VS project.
Next, I added the extra source files from the wrapper library gumbo-query, where I had to fix a naming conflict between parser.h/parser.cpp from the original gumbo-parser project and the Parser.h/Parser.cpp file in the wrapper library. I also changed all references to #include <gumbo.h> to #include "gumbo.h"
Eventually, I got a gumbo.lib file containing both the original and the wrapper libraries, and this imported into my project and I now seem to be able to successfully use the functions.

Help on jrtplib and jthread

I have some link error problems when trying to compile using jrtplib and jthread on my simple project. The errors are:
Error 4 fatal error LNK1120: 3 unresolved externals C:\Users\Chicko\Desktop\tryout\Debug\tryout.exe
Error 1 error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: virtual __thiscall RTPSession::~RTPSession(void)" (??1RTPSession##UAE#XZ) referenced in function _wmain tryout.obj

and here is my main program:
// tryout.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.
//
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <rtpsession.h> //Confused to put "" or <>
#include <rtpsessionparams.h>

RTPSessionParams sessionparams;
RTPUDPv4TransmissionParams transparams;
sessionparams.SetOwnTimestampUnit(1.0/8000.0);
transparams.SetPortbase(8000);
return 0;
}
For your information, I do not import any header file from those libraries into my project. I use additional include libraries in the project setting and put `"..\jlib\jthread-1.2.1\src";"..\jlib\jrtplib3.8.2\src" (this is the folder where all the headers are stored). How do I fix this? Where should i put jrtplib.lib and jthread.lib? Please help...
Have you added jrtplib.lib and jthread.lib under your project linker options?
You can do this on the project property page under
"Configuration properties->Linker->Input->Additional Dependencies" and make sure that the directory that contains the lib files has been added to your library path: Either on the project properties
"Linker->General->Additional Library Directories"
or under the global VS settings (Doesn't apply to VC2010)
"Tools->Options" "Projects and Solutions->VC++ Directories->Library Files"
Under VC2010 you'll have to edit the property sheet of the project.
I see that it's a bit late to answer and I'm not so expert on Windows (I'm more a Linux user), but some day ago I've tried JRTPLIB on Windows and I had the same problem when I compiled the example in release mode and the lib in debug mode (I see that you use the debug mode). Hope it can help.

Linking Lua with Visual Studio 2010

We use Lua (www.lua.org) script to let users to customize our server software written in C++.
At the moment we are porting the 32 bits Windows version of our project to Visual Studio 2010.
Once everything works fine with VS 2008, we thought that we would have no problem on upgrade process.
Unfortunately whenever we tried to link the lualib (as dll) to our project in VS 2010, the lua functions could not be found by the linker (the error messages are displayed below).
It seems that some calling convention is wrong on 2010, like the application may be looking for the lua functions with a prefix '_'.
To access lua functions (written in C) from our project modules (C++) we use this:
extern "C" {
#include "lua/src/lua.h"
#include "lua/src/lualib.h"
#include "lua/src/lauxlib.h"
}
The same project compiles and links with lualib successfully on VS 2008 and Linux (g++).
Could anybody help me with this ?

The reported missing names are correct, this not a compile problem. You must be linking the wrong .lib. The name you use sounds wrong, it isn't "lualib", the current version of the import library is named lua5.1.lib (or lua51.lib, not sure what the difference is). Download it from here.
