Linker target messsed up on single file
« on: April 01, 2014, 07:21:34 pm »
I know I'm not supposed to post linkage stuff but I think mine is being caused by a setting in my project and I'm clueless to what is causing it, could someone help me identify the setting and explain what went wrong, I'm presuming the attachment and the below should be all you need but let me know if you need more or if this is not a setting problem. BTW my MSVS version is 2013 I simply modified the MSVS 2010 settings to use that instead.

Learn about your compiler!
Decide if you are doing 32 bit or 64 bit?


Then, do the right thing for that decision.

Link to the main option that should be set based on your  decision. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/5wy54dk2.aspx

Edit2: I do NOT normally use MSVC; I found the above info in 15 minutes using Google.

Did you think I hadn't already tried that?
It ignored the /env and treated the x64 as a file, and I already have /MACHINE:X64 in the linker options.
Please at least look at the project file before you reply, I do not appreciate being treated like an idiot.

Edit: On another note you should have seen in the output that I have actually looked into those compiler settings which is making me think you're not worth listening to. If you are just gonna be lazy about it then don't bother I'd rather have replies from someone who is actually gonna try to help.

Code
/IC:\p\MSVS-x86\VC\include

And, please stop and think You are compiling x86 stuff and trying to link x64 bit stuff.
Please learn to read!!!!!!!!!!!

if you can find a 64bit visual studio then please post a link otherwise go bug someone else as you clearly do not understand what you are talking about.

Edit: BTW with header files it does NOT matter about the path but rather what code is placed in those headers (which BTW is all TEXT to be compiled)

I do understand you ARE not asking a CB question; but, a compiler question.
You are likely to be banned.

This is a CONFIGURATION question, if you re-read the post then you will understand WHY I have posted it here in the first place.
I HAVE read those rules and still posted here BECAUSE I believe something is wrong with the *.CBP file, if you cannot understand that then keep OUT of this thread.

What option are you trying to add!!!!!!!

If you state an option and ask how to add it it is a CB question.
If you have no idea what Compiler/Linker option it is off topic.

I have tried all the easy to find linker stuff and compiler stuff, I have also set the compiler search to directories to locate only 64bit libs so the only thing I can think of is that it is has something to do with individual file settings in the project file as some files compile fine while others don't even though they should all have the SAME settings as I removed all the extra that CB put in to ensure it sticks to just the target settings. Please at least look at the output and the project file so that you SEE that I have done all I can before posting this here.

As a side note all my code is done in just ANSI C so it should not be a compiler problem and based off of the documentation MS provides the /machine:x64 was the only additional option I had to set for VC2013 to understand that it should be using 64bit based code. If you haven't already noticed no other file before it produces that issue even though they rely on the same target settings hence why I think this is a cfg issue.

Thank you that was much more helpful, solved my problem although it would've been sufficient for you to say something like "There was no issue that I could find in the project cfg, see if the toolchain executables are actually able to compile 64bit code", that would have been enough instead of you having to research something outside of this forums (for lack of a better word) requirements.

That's why I said it would have been sufficient to say "There was no issue that I could find in the project cfg, see if the toolchain executables are actually able to compile 64bit code", I did not ask you to solve the problem if it was not a cfg issue but rather check to see if it was a cfg issue or just me missing something in the documentation. I never expected you to research any compiler or linker stuff just to check whether something in xml was causing my problem, if you found an issue there then that's all I expected you to help me with. Anything further, while nice, was not within my expectations.

@ awsdert
From your original post, I see some linker errors, and you try to solve those linker errors. But that is not a C::B question right I can see.

If you think it is a C::B question, then you can show us what is the correct linker command C::B should execute.
If some piece of memory should be reused, turn them to variables (or const variables).
If some piece of operations should be reused, turn them to functions.
If they happened together, then turn them to classes.

@stahta01: You're a bit more aggressive than needed...

@awsdert:
I'm not sure if VC compilers in C::B are setup to generate 64bit code by default.
If I were you I'd try to build a hello world project in 32bit mode first, to verify the 32bit version works.
Then I'll try to build in 64bit the same project.
Also I'd try to build on the command line. The VC compiler provide batch scripts which setups the environment correctly for both 32 and 64 bits.
Use them and inspect the environment variables with executing "set".
Also I'll search the wiki for info about VC, because the setup is not simple...

Good luck...
(most of the time I ignore long posts)

Just remembered about this thread :P
Since stahta01 has a short fuse I'm going to refer to him as shorty from now on.

@oBFusCATed & @ollydbg
Like I said the post shorty :D provided actually helped solve the problem (although I will admit I was not expecting anyone here to go as far as doing their own research on the compiler), the original reason I believed it was a CB cfg problem was because it was an individual file from my project was not compiling even though the rest were doing just fine, after shorty's post I looked into VC's \bin directory and found that I had made a misunderstanding about the compiler thinking that like gcc (that being the only other compiler I have experience with) it used only one executable for generating code, after cloning the compiler profile and setting it up for x64 bit directories everything went smoothly (aside from my own programming mistakes obviously). Shorty just got the wrong end of the stick and thought I wanted people to check the linker options, I only wanted people to check the xml side of things and make sure none of that was the cause of my problem, it was just happy coincidence that he found what I could not.

Edit: Missed a word :P

If you do not calm down and stop being agressive, you get banned for a while.

Do you rally want to start a discussion ?

Please do not waste my/our time with it.

Just calm down, don't use degrading nicknames for other users, learn to ask questions in a way others can understand you or leve the forum !
