Windows Compile

poco2013 — Tue, 01 Aug 2023 11:57:53 GMT

I’m having no success in trying to compile the API version 18, and ver. 18 examples under Windows using Visual Studio.

I originally did compile those examples using Visual studio 2013 but remember I had to make some configuration changes. Unfortunately, I had to reinstall VS and lost those changes and now can’t remember them. Something, I think, about using or not using the precompiled header and turning off some fatal warnings and adding an extra include folder.

At any rate, hoping someone has a set of configuration changes needed for the supplied vcxproj files. I do have the platform toolset set for VS 2010.

BTW – the API works perfectly OOB in Yosemite and the new XCode update.

Could you write down please your compiling errors?

The most important Visual Studio 2010 project settings:
- Additional Include Directories: (all necessary subdirs of DevKits's Support directory)

<AdditionalIncludeDirectories>..\..\Support\Inc;..\..\Support\Modules\GSRoot;..\..\Support\Modules\GSRoot\STL\imp;..\..\Support\Modules\GSUtils;..\..\Support\Modules\DGLib;..\..\Support\Modules\Geometry;..\..\Support\Modules\InputOutput;..\..\Support\Modules\UCLib;..\..\Support\Modules\GXImageBase;%(AdditionalIncludeDirectories)</AdditionalIncludeDirectories>

- Preprocessor Definitions:

<PreprocessorDefinitions>_ITERATOR_DEBUG_LEVEL=0;WIN32;_WINDOWS;_USRDLL;_STLP_DONT_FORCE_MSVC_LIB_NAME;%(PreprocessorDefinitions)</PreprocessorDefinitions>

(don't forget to add _DEBUG definition also for Debug build mode)

- Library Includes: (include all used LIB from Support\Modules\<ModuleName>\Win folder)

<Library Include="..\..\Support\Lib\Win\ACAP_STAT.lib">
  <FileType>Document</FileType>
</Library>
<Library Include="..\..\Support\Modules\DGLib\Win\DGImp.lib">
  <FileType>Document</FileType>
</Library>
<Library Include="..\..\Support\Modules\GSRoot\Win\GSRootImp.lib">
  <FileType>Document</FileType>
</Library>

Thanks for the reply -- My config is the same as yours, But I found the problem. the program is set for the include dir using $(VSIncludeDir) is is set fot the VS 10 include dir. unfortunately that dir got messed up and most of the files were lost. I now can't re-install VS 10 because the update fail and roll back. To further compound the problem. the variable in VS 2013 is sat to the same defective path & I don't see any way to change a environmental macro in VS.

I did try puting in a include to the 2013 include dir but I just get a lot of edit errors -- over 200 when I do that.

Are there any vcxprof file available for VS2013? I also have 2015 preview installed but VCIncludeDir is also set to point to MSVS 10.0\VC\ -- How do I change?
