I'm trying build wxwidgets Hello World sample program in visual studio and i'm using prebuilt wxwidgets instead download that and build it myself.
and after configuring visual studio project for wxwidgets i always facing with this error:
Error C1083 Cannot open include file: '../../../lib/vc142_x64_dll/mswud/wx/setup.h': No such file or directory wxwidgets_programming_cpp C:\wxwidgets\include\msvc\wx\setup.h 140
where is the problem. I think i configured visual studio project in a wrong way. can you help me how to configure visual studio project for a regular wxwidgets app?
You need to define wxMSVC_VERSION_ABI_COMPAT in the preprocessor definitions to use these binaries, which will result in using the correct vc14x prefix instead of vc142 used by default. This is already supposed to be done by wxwidgets.props, at least for the DLL configuration which you seem to use, so I am not sure why it doesn't work for you if you do use this file, but at any rate this symbol must be defined and it isn't in your case.
I have just started learning more about C/C++ and I am using Visual Studio 2013 to manage the code.
A project I am working on to use the Tobii EyeX eye gaze system requires me to be able to tweak this code slightly, however I do not understand how I can compile this code to an exe file without a Microsoft Visual Studio project file. This is that code:
https://github.com/MastaLomaster/bkb
In the source folder you see all the project's files but not an actual project file. How would I go about compiling this code? Where do I start? I can not seem to be able to load this is Visual Studio at all - the programmer of the code says (at the bottom of the Github page):
Compiling the source codes As for now, you have to use Microsoft
Visual Studio 2012 (latest update preferred)...
Either create a makefile(if no makefile is exist) for visual studio using nmake or you can use the suggestion provided in this link.
Additionally you can create a project by adding these codes as source. follow this link.
I have searched for answers until I have become crossed-eyed and confused.
I have a Windows XP environment with Visual Studios 2010. I have downloaded and extracted CppUnit 1.12.1 from Sourceforge to C:\CppUnit. I understand I must use Visual Studio to open src/CppUnitLibraries.dsw and Batch Build all of the projects it opens to populate the lib directory with libraries. This is essentially the extent of the CppUnit "installation" process.
However when I try to open CppUnitLibraries.dsw, Visual Studio says the project must be converted to the current Visual C++ project format. If I click "yes" (to convert and open the project), it says the project file cannot be loaded and it asks if I want to remove the unloadable project from the solution, to which I say "No" since I'm certain this is not what I want to have happen. It does this for many projects in the CppUnitLibraries.dsw solution and I'm assuming this is unwanted behavior.
A few of my search results indicated that I should open src\msvc6\testrunner\MsDevCallerListCtrl.cpp, find the line that says...
#import "libid:80cc9f66-e7d8-4ddd-85b6-d9e6cd0e93e2" version("7.0") lcid("0") raw_interfaces_only named_guids"
...and replace the 7.0 with 10.0. But this does not help.
Am I doing something wrong? What must I do to get started with CppUnit? (I'm sorry if this is a very noobish question. I'm stuck, frustrated, and very confused.)
I've successfully converted CPPUNIT 1.12.1 to be a VS2010 solution. It's described here: http://blogs.powersoft.ca/erict/archive/2012/02/21/cppunit-in-vs2010ndashwith-a-sample.aspx and the solution can be downloaded from there.
I believe that the extension .dsw was used by Visual Studio 6 in 1998.
By Visual Studio .NET 2003, they had moved to .sln Solution Files. Although the format has changed somewhat, Visual Studio 2010 still uses 2010 files.
So, if you've downloaded some software that comes with a .dsw file, Visual Studio 2010 will need to convert that file to a .sln to be able to use it.
Each time we've upgraded to a newer version of Visual Studio, at work, over the years, we've had to make some source code changes, for the newer compiler. So I'd say that any C++ code which comes with .dsw file is likely to require some significant effort.
I'd suggest trying to find a newer build or version of CppUnit, or looking for another tool.
This question looks useful.
I'm trying to compile a release version of love2d on windows. I got all the dependencies downloaded / compiled. However, I have one last problem that I cannot fix:
The object or library file
'lib\libmodplug.lib' was created with
an older compiler than other objects;
rebuild old objects and libraries
I had similar issues with other dependencies, however I was able to compile those dependencies. The libmodplug source does not provide a Visual Studio solution or project file, and I couldn't find any hints on how to compile this under windows.
By the way, I'm using Visual Studio C++ Express 2010.
Thanks in advance!
As may be known by many, the Express versions of Visual Studio 2008 don't include support for MFC and a few other packages required to compile a lot of windows programs.
So, here's my problem:
I have the full version of Visual Studio 2005. I've been using this to compile a project that a friend of mine was working on, so that I could test it out for him and continue to track bugs and things. Recently, he upgraded that project to VS 2008, which I don't have. So, I downloaded the express version in the hopes that I could simply compile with that, but no luck, it complains about headers missing left and right.
It seems to me that since I already have the full version of VS 2005, I'm bound to have at least some (perhaps older) version of the files in question that his project needs to compile against.
Is there a way I can convince VS 2008 to also look in 2005's directories for include files and library files to compile against?
Furthermore, is this a bad idea? I would really prefer not to go out and purchase VS 2008 full, as I'll never use it myself. (2005 does the job fine for me at the moment, and I tend to prefer GCC anyway.)
Thanks
You can use the VC++ compiler directly from the command line, or just create a new project w/ the source in Visual Studio 2005. Unless he is using some functionality provided in the new versions of MFC/ATL in 2008/2008sp1, you should be able to compile the project just fine.
See ("Create Project from Existing Source") in Visual Studio 2005. It is unfortunate that they don't include these libraries with the Express Editions.
Use the vcvars*.bat script(s) from Visual Studio 2005. See this blogpost from VC++ Blog to see how. You will use the old compilers, but the build system from Visual Studio 2008.
You can go into Tools>Options>Projects and Solutions>VC++ Directories
and alter the Include, Library, and Source (and Reference maybe?) folders to use VC++ 2005's folders.
I'd guess you just replace $(VCInstallDir) with a hardcoded VS 2005 path. I'd record the original values before doing this.
However, have you just tried using the OLD 2005 sln and vcproj files? Keep using 2005 on your end and 2008 on his. Keep two sets of these files for each IDE. Any issues are going to be with the library mismatch - which you're not avoiding by using 2008's tools with 2005's libraries.
The simple way to deal with this would be to revert the solution and project files back to their visual studio 2005 state from source control(you are using source control right?). At this point you can compile the project as long as your friend does not use any of the mfc 9 only functions.
The first thing I would try is loading this up in VS 2005 by just modifying the version of the .sln and the .vcproj files. In the .vcproj change the version from 9.00 to 8.00 and in the .sln change the format version from 10.00 to 9.00.
If you don't have fancy stuff in the project you have a high chance of just being able to use it like this. Also this would avoid having to update 2 project and solution files.
On this website it is shown how MFC code can be compiled with the Visual Studio Express versions:

Just for the record, I've done that(by modifying the include directories and library directories from inside the IDE) and it's working pretty well, I have MFC, ATL, everything.
I've found this explanation. http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/30439/How-to-compile-MFC-code-in-Visual-C-Express
