Cannot find libs ... but they are there...

[msdobrescu]

I think there is a conflict between what gendef exports and what the linker expects as naming.
Any ideas?

[msdobrescu]

So mangling for msvc++ and gnu c++ differs. Is there any solution, or should I try to build anything with MinGW?

[msdobrescu]

Well, I've managed to build SpiderMokey with MinGW-w64.
Now, I get linkage errors 'multiple definition of...' for everything.
That code compiles under msvc.
I presume there is an issue with the project...?
I do not include cpp in cpp or h.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

[stahta01]

You did something wrong; with out more info no one can do anything but guess.

Tim S.

[msdobrescu]

Yes, of course, but what? I have a project with tens if not hundreds of files.
How could I know? What should I post?

[stahta01]

Why NOT try posting a build log. So, we can at least see the errors!

http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php/FAQ-Compiling_%28errors%29#Q:_How_do_I_troubleshoot_a_compiler_problem.3F

Tim S.

[msdobrescu]

OK. I have Code::Blocks 16.01 + MinGW-w64 x86_64-6.1.0-win32-seh-rt_v5-rev0.

The build log is attached...

[stahta01]

Please read the build log!!

Please look at lines 55 and 66 of  "sdk/Adobe Illustrator CC_2015.3 SDK/illustratorapi/illustrator/IAIAutoBuffer.cpp"

Then fix the problem.

Edit: You may need to search for all places AllocateBlock and DeleteBlock are defined.

I think you need to move your questions to an site that supports your compiler and supports porting this library to your compiler.

This problem likely violates the CB Rules http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,9996.0.html

I would suggest downloading the Mac source code and the Windows source code if you still wish to port this library to Windows GCC; but, I think it will be very hard to do the port!! The Mac source code might be easier to port to Windows GCC.

It might be easier to do a C DLL wrapper using Visual Studio 2015; but, that is also off topic for this site!

First, I do not port, I have to use it.
Secondly, it seems I misinterpreted the error.
I took the following as it was somehow compiled twice and I've wondered if C::B generated a malformed build command.

If this is not the case, thing is solved.

+ It's Adobe API poorly documented. That statement is not clear. I've no idea what "core application" means as I build a plugin.

[msdobrescu]

One question though.
When I add files to the project, are they automatically set to compile and link?
Especially headers, how are to be set concernng compiling and linking?

If you DO NOT wish to port it to a different compiler; then use a supported Compiler!!!!!!

Source files default to compiling and linking.
Header files default to NOT compiling and NOT linking.

Please give up on using the GCC compiler!!

If you do NOT want to; then, I suggest you need to ask someone you know and trust to explain why what you are doing is a waste of time.

FYI: Code::Blocks is a IDE that works with more than one compiler.

IF someone told you to use Code::Blocks it does NOT mean you have to use the GCC Compiler!

HINT: You are trying to build a plugin, the plugin ABI must match what the application is expecting!!
That means using the compiler the application tells you to use in nearly all cases where the API is C++.
