Hello World in Visual Studio 6

orphean

Hi

I'm trying to build a simple Hello World app in Visual Studio 6. The demos provided, work fine. I wrote a simple Client.cpp and a Server.cpp as given in the Ice manual.

However, when I run Server.exe, it hangs at this point.. (I put cout's to see where it was hanging...)

adapter->add(object,Ice::stringToIdentity("SimplePrinter"));

When I try and run Client.exe, it hangs at this point..

PrinterPrx printer = PrinterPrx::checkedCast(base);

This works perfectly in Linux, its only with Visual Studio 6 that i'm having these problems.

Any clues?

the compile output for Server.exe

why do I get such warnings?

Hi Abhay,

You need to enable RTTI for your project.

Best regards,

Enabled RTTI, but..

no luck. It still hangs in the same place.

Did you recompile all your code with RTTI enabled?

Thanks!

Like an idiot, I was mixing debug with non-debug libraries.

It works cleanly now.

thanks a ton!
