Compiling issue involves LNK2019

[crankyplayer]

I had a question about compiling i am using the free VS2005 Express and have followed the instructions 1 -5 which pertain to changing files. i am now on the Compiling MQ2 and i get all the way to step 9 and when i try to complete step 9 i get what follows. I have read the troubleshooting section for the code LNK2019 and i am still not understanding what i should do to fix this problem... the message i get when i try to build EQ2Main is as follows :

If anyone could pls help me that would be great


If you installed using default directories, navigate to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\VCProjectDefaults and edit corewin_express.vsprops, changing the following:
Change AdditionalDependencies="kernel32.lib" to
AdditionalDependencies="kernel32.lib user32.lib gdi32.lib winspool.lib comdlg32.lib advapi32.lib shell32.lib ole32.lib oleaut32.lib uuid.lib"

I did that already

Thanx for the thought guys

[fearless]

Click on the wiki link above.
In the search box, type lnk2019.
Click go.
Click "Help Compiling".
Click "# 3.10 error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol".
Read.
Read again.
And again.

Or if you prefer to use the phpbb search engine . . .

Click on the search link above.
In the keyword box, type lnk2019.
For Display Results As, click Posts.
Click Search.
Read.
Read again.
And again.

That will be $5 for the lessons on how to use search engines, next one is $10.

I searched the post you suggested and didnt find any clear cut solution to my question - if you would be so kind as to put a link of your solution in a post i would greatly appriciate - bare with my stupidity as it hurts me more then you =)

[SwiftyMUSE]

Long and short of it... Platform SDK was not installed properly. Start over from scratch installing the software and then the compile will work successfully.

No, I can't help further since I actually own the software and don't use the free tools for compiling.

[crankyplayer]

I had 1 other question maybe someone could answer -
step #7" Select Release, and place a check in each dll you want compiled"

how do i know which DLL files i want to compile? is it all files in the box or certain files

thanx for the input

[ascii38]

You want them all.

[Charmmer]

after reading many post and rereading many other post lol i cant find on the search "windows.h" ive folowed many links and emailed a few people , followed the simple instructions on the

Compiling for Free with VS2005 Express

The following information has been provided by a few different people on the MQ2 boards and from the MS website.
[edit]
Installation and Setting up the Environment

1. Download the Setup program here (link may change never know with MS) and install it.
2. Download SDK files from here. Install It.
3. Open VS2005 Express:
1. From the Tools drop down menu, select Options...
2. Expand the "Projects and Solutions" tree and select "VC++ Directories"
3. In the right window from the "Show Directories for" drop down menu select the following items and add the paths below:
* Executable files: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK\Bin
* Include files: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK\include
* Library files: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK\lib
4. Make sure the directories you just entered are at the top of the list. If not, use the Up or Down arrows to put them in the correct order.
5. Alternately, you can double click on the existing Microsoft Platform SDK references that VC Express installed and edit them to point to the path you installed your Microsoft Platform SDK to.
* Either way, you want only one reference to the MS Platform SDK for each item. You should remove any duplicate references to a Microsoft Platform SDK directory.
4. If you installed using default directories, navigate to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\VCProjectDefaults and edit corewin_express.vsprops, changing the following:
* Change AdditionalDependencies="kernel32.lib" to
* AdditionalDependencies="kernel32.lib user32.lib gdi32.lib winspool.lib comdlg32.lib advapi32.lib shell32.lib ole32.lib oleaut32.lib uuid.lib"
5. Navigate to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\VCWizards\AppWiz\Generic\Application\html\1033\ and edit AppSettings.htm, commenting out lines 441-444 like this:

// WIN_APP.disabled = true;
// WIN_APP_LABEL.disabled = true;
// DLL_APP.disabled = true;
// DLL_APP_LABEL.disabled = true;

Compiling MQ2

1. Download the MacroQuest2 source zip and unzip it
2. Right click the newly created folder, select Properties, and remove the Read only flag
3. Run MQ2Auth.exe.
4. Double-click the Macroquest2.sln file. VC.net will open the MacroQuest project
5. If asked to update the code for the current version of .net, click yes
6. Go to the Build menu and select Configuration Manager
7. Select Release, and place a check in each dll you want compiled
8. In the Solution Explorer, right-click on MQ2Main and choose "Set as Startup Project"
9. With MQ2Main selected in the Solution Explorer, go to Build - Build MQ2Main
10. Go to Build - Batch Build, click "Select All" and then "Build"
11. The dll files will compile and be placed in the Release folder

i get to #9 and recieve errors

[Charmmer]

and i redownloaded SDK as well and then deleted the vc++ and the SDK and redownloaded again lol

[Charmmer]

lol i think i figured it out the path to the SDK was wrong on the instructions it needed to read

D:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2
instead of

D:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK

[think]

I had the same problems- then I realized I had used the previous tab column for the // on

5. Navigate to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\VCWizards\AppWiz\Generic\Application\html\1033\ and edit AppSettings.htm, commenting out lines 441-444 like this:

// WIN_APP.disabled = true;
// WIN_APP_LABEL.disabled = true;
// DLL_APP.disabled = true;
// DLL_APP_LABEL.disabled = true;

Removed the // in column 2 and inserted into the same tab column (3) as
WIN_APP.disabled = true;
WIN_APP_LABEL.disabled = true;
DLL_APP.disabled = true;
DLL_APP_LABEL.disabled = true;

and everything worked fine.
