Programming Question What IDE do you use?

[N_Molson]

That's what I struggle a bit to understand.

Are there 'debug libraries' and 'release libraries' ? To me it seem we have only 2 files, orbiter.lib & orbitersdk.lib...

With the /permissive setting on it looks better, I think there's only the Runtime compatiblity thing in the way :

1>------ Build started: Project: ShuttlePB, Configuration: Release Win32 ------
1>cl : command line warning D9035: option 'Gm' has been deprecated and will be removed in a future release
1>ShuttlePB.cpp
1>Orbitersdk.lib(Orbitersdk.cpp.obj) : error LNK2038: mismatch detected for 'RuntimeLibrary': value 'MD_DynamicRelease' doesn't match value 'MT_StaticRelease' in ShuttlePB.obj
1> Creating library ..\..\..\Modules\ShuttlePB.lib and object ..\..\..\Modules\ShuttlePB.exp
1>..\..\..\Modules\ShuttlePB.dll : fatal error LNK1319: 1 mismatches detected
1>Done building project "ShuttlePB.vcxproj" -- FAILED.

In 'Code Generation' I'm on 'Multithreaded' (/MT), from what I read on the forum and heard on the video it is the setting that ensure there will be no extra dependencies ?

 

[Urwumpe]

Try using MD in Orbiter 2024, maybe the SDK libraries were compiled for using a dynamic linked runtime library.

 

[N_Molson]

OK, but using /MD I get this :

(I've added orbiter.lib & orbitersdk.lib from the Orbiter 2024 SDK folder to my solution, of course.)

And I found this, which is a bit similar, but still doesn't give me a clue. It was a long time ago.

C++ Question Post in thread 'VC++ problem'

Feb 14, 2009

Hey T.Neo. I'm having the exact same problem as you have (OLDNAMES.LIB) I've no idea how you fix it, I will post if I find out how.

I know how to register though - Go to Help Menu, Register Product, and fill in the form

• escapetomsfate

 

[Urwumpe]

Did you "clean" the build after you changed this?

 

[N_Molson]

No. You mean the 'Clean' in this menu ?

 

[DaveS]

No. You mean the 'Clean' in this menu ?

View attachment 45557

Yes, it removes all of the intermediate files that are created during a build process. Those are used to speed the process up in the future and can fail a build process if they're outdated like yours are now.

 

[N_Molson]

Ah OK, thanks, good to know. No joy though.

Then back to the settings.... is RTTI activated?

 

[N_Molson]

I tried this one too.

A tiny bit better, 1 less unresolved externals.

 

[Urwumpe]

Hmmm... some checking function calls are compiled into your functions, that aren't part of the source code or the runtimes...

Do you have ANY debug options active?

 

[N_Molson]

These ?

 

[Urwumpe]

No, you must check the C++ options, I think its spread out into general, optimization and code generation.

 

[N_Molson]

There you go :

 

[Urwumpe]

Weird, this seems to be the same settings that I have.... but yours fail and mine don't. Created a new project from scratch, and I only get a few bugs when using the release libraries of Orbiter 2024 in debug builds.

 

[N_Molson]

OK, I'm trying to create a new project, step-by-step :

 

[N_Molson]

OK so I managed to compile this (the old @ComputerRex test example). Yeehaw.



Now I 'cheated' by pointing the 'Additional libraries' to my Orbiter 2016 libraries folder, and by adding to the project the Orbiter 2016 orbiter.lib & orbitersdk.lib. And setting the /MT option (not /MD).

Now let's see if the module will work on Orbiter 2024...

 

[N_Molson]

... and it works !

Look carefully at the bottom left of the screen (edit : improved the debug string a little bit). There's a working timer there. I attached the .dll module below, I'd be curious to know if it works on your end.



So what can we learn from this ? It looks like the Orbiter 2024 libraries have a problem, at least on my (Win10 x64) computer.

 

[Urwumpe]

They only have it on your end.... mine works too, with the 2024 libraries and UACS.

 

[N_Molson]

Are you using the 2024-12-31 package ? Could the libraries have been modified since then ?

 

[Urwumpe]

Are you using the 2024-12-31 package ? Could the libraries have been modified since then ?

Uh. No. I downloaded mine from github I think. Do I have the space for a third Orbiter installation?
