Technical assistance needed

[coolkc]

Following the steps given in the Edgelib manual at first I arrived at the error "resource.h not found"
But I included the header file and the program was successfully compiled.

Now when i build it the following linking error arises

fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'user32.lib'

Google suggested the following remedy for this error:

1. Have you installed the Microsoft Platform SDK?

2. Have you added "...\Microsoft Platform SDK\Lib" to the list of Lib directories under Tools->Options->VC++ directories->Library files?


So I installed Microsoft Platform SDK for that purpose and included the library user32.lib and also included the entire folder to include all the libraries.

Now when I thought everything went fine another error came. It is

fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'ddraw.lib'

I am not able to sort out how to solve this problem and how to get any libraries.All these are linking errors. Can any one of you please tell me what the problem is and do have to install anything else?? I am using Edgelib for the first time.....

It will be helpful if any one solves this problem.

Thank you

Hi Coolkc,

We recommend reading the Getting Started tutorial for Windows Desktop here: http://www.edgelib.com/index.php?node=45

It contains links to the SDK's you need to install. The missing ddraw.lib error is caused by a missing DirectX SDK. Download the latest DirectX SDK here: http://www.microsoft.com/directx

Hi,
Thank you for the reply.

I am working on Embedded Visual C++ and Pocket PC 2003. So I followed the tutorial for Windows mobile and not for Windows Desktop.
Also I already installed DirectX 9.0 and included the Lib folder but then I got more errors

These were the errors. Can you find what might be the problem here? I will however try working on Windows Desktop now, but I wanted to know what went wrong in the previous implementation of Embedded Visual C++ and Pocket PC 2003. Even when I install the directx why the errors are arising?

Thank You

Hi Coolkc,

I think it may be a problem with Visual Studio 2005 express, because we are able to create a resource script file without any problems in Visual Studio 2005 standard edition.

To workaround the problem you can create a resource script file with Embedded Visual C++ and copy the file (resource.rc) to your Visual Studio 2005 project workspace. Then you can add it to the "source files" folder in the solution file list.
