vc 6 link error

mwilson

I get this error:

LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file "stlport_vc6_static.lib"

when I try to make a simple DLL with Visual C++ 6.0. I followed the installation directions for Tools->Options->Directories. I added /libpath to the project link options.

I added ice.lib to the Object/Library Modules of Project Settings.

What am I missing?

Thanks,
Mark

I made the build verbose, and got:

Linking...
Start Pass1
Processed /DEFAULTLIB:stlport_vc6_static.lib
Processed /DEFAULTLIB:LIBCMTD
Processed /DEFAULTLIB:OLDNAMES

You need to change your project's settings to use the dynamic DLL version of the Microsoft Runtime Library. In Project Settings|C/C++|Code Generation, there is a drop down list box under the label "Use run-time library:" that allows you to change this. You should use "Debug Multithreaded DLL" for the "Win32 Debug" configuration and "Multithreaded DLL" for "Win32 Release" configuration.

Cheers,

That worked. Thanks!

Sigh... Now I get:

I set Tools->Options->Directories->Include so that the Ice stl include directory is first...

Sorry for the questions, I'm a vi and make Unix guy forced to work temporarily in the Windows world (gak). Is there a guide at www.zeroc.com for building Windows apps?

Thanks,

Perhaps it's an include order problem? If you do a search for "_STLP_DEBUG_CHECK" in this message board you get a few hits where people have had similar or related problems.

With respect to a guide for creating Windows apps, I recommend looking at the Ice MFC demo. You might also consider checking out the "Integrating Ice with a GUI" articles in the ZeroC newsletter.
