C++ Question VC++ problem

[Donamy]

I get

fatal error RC1015: cannot open include file 'afxres.h'

I added the MFC folder from the one in 2003 toolkit and added the include file in the properties.

You should not be compiling MFC. At least, i don't think so...

 

[Donamy]

It asks for when I try to compile the shuttleA

It asks for when I try to compile the shuttleA

It is in the resource script (ShuttleA.rc) and has probably been put there automatically, even tthough you aren't using MFC. You should be safe to open the script (in Notepad) and replace the two instances of afxres.h with winres.h (works for me).

Another question, how do you get the compiler to save the property changes ?

Another question, how do you get the compiler to save the property changes ?

AFAIK, there is no option to save just the project properties. File|Save All (or Save All on the toolbar) will save everything in your project including the project properties. Also, if you have changed any project properties but not yet saved them by pressing Save All, VC++ should ask you if you want to save them before exiting.

 

[Donamy]

I ttried save all, it does not save the changes. I have to add all the property changes every time I open it.

Try adding that path to "Additional Library Directories" and OLDNAMES.lib to "Additional Dependencies"

I added that path to additional library directories and OLDNAMES.lib to addition Dependancies. I got this, even when I changed OLDNAMES.lib to oldnames.lib:

Any explanation to the above problem?

Any explanation to the above problem?

I have no further ideas, sorry

 

[T.Neo]

This stupid compiler!
:compbash2:

Wish the thing would just work!

Hi T.Neo

I have had similar problems in setting up my complier

Have you de-activated some of the dependencies?

A quick google search should help.

 

[T.Neo]

Have you de-activated some of the dependencies?

What do you mean by deactivating dependancies?

I've put several .lib files into the "ignore specific library" section, though.

In short, what do I have to google?

 

[tl8]

No your right, just checking

 

[T.Neo]

No your right, just checking

Huh? Right where?

 

[T.Neo]

I still cannot get this to work.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

P.S: It also gives me a nag screen saying I have X days left to register to ensure uninteruppted use of this software. How do I fix this?

Register

If its Microsoft Visual C++ 2005/08 express, then its free

 

[T.Neo]

Register

If its Microsoft Visual C++ 2005/08 express, then its free

That still doesn't fix the fact that I can't compile anything.

I tried compiling shuttlePB and got this error, (assuming you have all the dependency s properly linked

Not sure if that's what you have but this is how you fix it (for the above error at least)

Go to the ShuttlePB project properties page
go to Code Generation tab like;
Configuration Properties -> C/C++ -> CodeGeneration

then go to the RUNTIME LIBRARY and switch it from whatever you have
(I had it Multi-threaded debug(/Mtd)) to Multi-threaded DLL (/MD)

Click apply and save, and that should fix it

 

[T.Neo]

Nope. It is already on Multi-threaded DLL (/MD).
