Trouble Importing & compiling vc7 project

[rossa]

Hi All,

Just trying out C::B and am having prblems with a simple console app.

I get the following error after doing a rebuild. I have the include and lib directories set but I still get this error. Could it be a compiler flag problem? Compiles fine with VC2003 prof.


Simple.rc:10: fatal error RC1015: cannot open include file 'afxres.h'.
:: === Build finished: 1 errors, 1 warnings ===

This happens to me when I forgot to add the directories I have under Compilier that are also needed under resouce compiler.

If a.rc includes b.h then the directory containing b.h is normally needed in the list of resouce compiler directories.

In addition make sure you really have the include path's setup properly.  Thus, not only to the system (platform SDK) but also to the MFC/ATL (AFX) stuff. As an example: For the VC6 compiler you'll need [VC6]\Include , [VC6]\MFC\Include and [VC6]\ATL\Include. for the compiler settings, the linker needs [VC6]\Lib and [VC6]\MFC\Lib (assuming you would like to develop a MFC based application here).
With regards, Morten.

Hi Guys,

I checked everything again and now I'm getting link errors:

nafxcwd.lib(appcore.obj):: error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol ___argv
nafxcwd.lib(appcore.obj):: error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol ___argc

Simple.exe:: fatal error LNK1120: 3 unresolved externals

I have this in Directories/Linker

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\lib
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\atlmfc\lib
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK\Lib
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\bin

I cant think why the libs cannot be linked? Is there some other option/setting I'm missing?

[MortenMacFly]

Could you please post the full compiler log (see my sig how to enable this).
I would guess you are missing to link against very basic libraries (user32...).
With regards, Morten.

Ok heres the full compile log.

As I said: You don't link against any SDK lib. I wonder how this should work. Now unfortunately I don't know your program but you could try adding Advapi32.lib as a first step. Also please read this: http://www.experts-exchange.com/Programming/Programming_Languages/Dot_Net/VisualC_PLUS_PLUS_DOT_NET/Q_21018785.html
(Scroll very down to see the answers.)
With regards, Morten.

Ps.: It's really hard to resolve linker issues without knowledge of the project/libs you are using. Please notice that this is *not* a C::B issue, you should better check the dependencies yourself and/or ask in a forum related to the libs you are using.

OK I think I've resolved the problem by adding _AFXDLL  and _MBCS as additional defines

Now my problem is debugging. If I add a break point nothing happens. All I get is

Building to ensure sources are up-to-date
Build succeeded
Selecting target: Debug|Win32
Adding source dir: D:\mds_cliq\research\Simple\
Adding source dir: D:\mds_cliq\research\Simple\
Adding file: Simple.exe
Starting debugger: done
Setting breakpoints
Debugger finished with status 1

What does this mean? I'm using gdb.exe. But to do so I had to copy the exe to the bin directory of VC7. Is this the wrong thing to do? If I didnt C::B kept complaining that there was no debugger.

[rossa]

Ok I found the "Additional Directories" for the debugger. But I still dont seem to be able to set break points and have it stop.

Sorry for the trivial questions but I new to C::B

Go to debugger's options and enable the debugger's *debug* log. Then start a debugging session and, when it ends, copy-paste the contents of that log here.

If you want to debug programs compiled with the MS Visual (whatever) compiler suite you should better user cdb (the free MS command line debugger that ships with the MS debugging tools) instead of gdb. I'm not sure if I really get right what you are doing: You want to use the MS visual compiler suite with C::B, right? If not - and you try to port a MS visual application to MinGW (gcc) forget about this and use gdb.
With regards, Morten.
Ps.: mandrav: Is it possible at all to debug VC applications with gdb? I'd say no...?!

No.
The debug log will reveal all that and more...

No.

Ok. I was wondering because your previous answer could have been interpreted in this way...

[rossa]

Ok heres the debug log using cdb (NB: compiling a different project but still no break at break point)

Are you sure you have compiled your project with debug symbols?
