C++ Question VC++ problem

[tblaxland]

The directories?

I'm waiting for someone to post their's here so I can fix it.

I'm using VC++ 2005 Pro. I haven't used anything else (eg 2008) so I can't comment on the differences. The vcproj files VC++ 2005 uses are in xml so you can just open them in Notepad and cut and paste (2008 uses a different file structure, from what I've heard). Here are my settings from a recent project (I've snipped out a bunch of info irrelevant to this discussion):

<Configuration
    Name="Debug|Win32"
    OutputDirectory="......Modules"
    IntermediateDirectory="$(ConfigurationName)"
    ConfigurationType="2"
    ...
    <Tool
        Name="VCCLCompilerTool"
        Optimization="0"
        AdditionalIncludeDirectories=""C:Program FilesMicrosoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2Include";....include;."
        BasicRuntimeChecks="3"
        RuntimeLibrary="1"
        WarningLevel="3"
        DebugInformationFormat="3"            />
    />
    ...
    <Tool
        Name="VCLinkerTool"
        AdditionalDependencies="kernel32.lib user32.lib gdi32.lib orbiter.lib orbitersdk.lib"
        OutputFile="$(OutDir)$(ProjectName).dll"
        AdditionalLibraryDirectories="....lib;"C:Program FilesMicrosoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2Lib""
        IgnoreDefaultLibraryNames="msvcirt.lib;msvcrt.lib;libcmt.lib"
    />
    ...
</Configuration>

Where can I find this file?

Where can I find this file?

The .vcproj file is typically in the same directory as your code for the project. If you are using VC++ 2008, I think the file structure is different. That's not particularly important though, I thought you wanted to see what settings were being used by others for directories, dependencies and ignores. Well, there they are.

That didn't help...

You are already using those same settings?

Those were not the setting I was asking for.
I was asking for the settings in Tools- Options- Projects and Solutions-VC++ Directories.

I'd appreciate if someone posted these fields here.

These are the defaults from VS2008 installed on a 32-bit WinXP machine.

Tools- Options- Projects and Solutions-VC++ Directories. Include files:

$(VCInstallDir)include
$(VCInstallDir)atlmfcinclude
$(WindowsSdkDir)include
$(FrameworkSDKDir)include

Tools- Options- Projects and Solutions-VC++ Directories. Library files:

$(VCInstallDir)lib
$(VCInstallDir)atlmfclib
$(VCInstallDir)atlmfclibi386
$(WindowsSdkDir)lib
$(FrameworkSDKDir)lib
$(VSInstallDir)
$(VSInstallDir)lib

Additionally, I have the following settings in the project in order to grab the Orbiter stuff. Note that the given directory points to where ever you have the orbiter SDK installed, and will likely be different on your machine:

Project..Properties...Configuration Properties...C/C++...General...Additional Include Directories

C:Program FilesOrbiter-BuildOrbitersdkinclude

Project..Properties...Configuration Properties...Linker...General...Additional Library Directories

C:Program FilesOrbiter-BuildOrbitersdklib

These two settings can safely be moved to the global "Tools" setting earlier rather than being set on a per-project basis, if you prefer.

Will they work with VC++ 2005?

Will they work with VC++ 2005?

Did you try them?

From VC++ 2005 Express Edition:

Include:

$(VCInstallDir)include
$(VCInstallDir)PlatformSDKinclude
$(FrameworkSDKDir)include

Library:

$(VCInstallDir)lib
$(VCInstallDir)PlatformSDKlib
$(FrameworkSDKDir)lib
$(VSInstallDir)
$(VSInstallDir)lib

Now I get this error message:

LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'odbc32.lib'

EDIT:
Now I'm told it cannot find windows.h :huh:

EDIT EDIT:
Fixed directories, stopped asking for windows.h now.
However, it is still asking for odbc32.lib

And I get this:

c:orbiterorbitersdksamplesshuttlepbshuttlepb.cpp(45) : warning C4715: 'LiftCoeff' : not all control paths return a value

I though I fixed this...

Are you using the directories Heilor posted? In particular, this one:

$(VCInstallDir)PlatformSDKlib

And I get this:

c:orbiterorbitersdksamplesshuttlepbshuttlepb.cpp(45) : warning C4715: 'LiftCoeff' : not all control paths return a value

I though I fixed this...

The solution is in the compiler setup instructions at OrbiterWiki:

Yes, I think so. But it still asks for odbc32.lib.

 

[DaveS]

Yes, I think so. But it still asks for odbc32.lib.

Remove it from Linker>Additional Dependencies. Make sure the only dependencies are GDI32.lib, user32.lib and kernel32.lib.

Remove it from Linker>Additional Dependencies. Make sure the only dependencies are GDI32.lib, user32.lib and kernel32.lib.

Done that, but now it says it cannot find windows.h again...

Where did you install VC++ and the Windows SDK to? Also which version of the Windows SDK did you install? I'm using the 2003 version.

My VC++ and Windows SDK installation is to C:\Program Files\ by default.

I don't quite know what SDK I installed, but I think I installed the right one. I think.

I have a number of possible directories:
Compiler:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8

SDK:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs

I'm thinking some directory is set wrong, somewhere. I just need to find it.

You have VS2008, why aren't you using it?

Also--have you tried completely uninstalling and then reinstalling VS (remove all VS and SDK components first, and then install ONE version) to fix the directories you broke?

I have VS 2008?
Huh? :blink::huh:

How do I use it?

EDIT
I also originally tried reinstalling, but I don't want to try it again, because that download is pretty big.

T.Neo, are you on an operationg system that isn't windows XP/Vista? On Windows7 this would not work for me. I tried vista, did exactly the same includes etc, it works fine.

I'm using XP.
