linking problems with dwgdirect 1.06 / visual c++ 6
linking problems with dwgdirect 1.06 / visual c++ 6
hi,
i'm trying to compile a vc++ 6 app with dwgdirect 1.06 using the dd_vc6.dll; i added dd_vc6.lib to my project and i'm getting just one unresolved external symbol:
error lnk2001: unresolved external symbol "__declspec(dllimport) class odsmartptr<class odgsdevicemanager> __cdecl getdevicemanager(void)" (__imp_?getdevicemanager@@ya?av?$odsmartptr@vodgsd evicemanager@@@@xz)
i also added gsdevlib.lib to my project but it didn't solve my problem, any suggestions? (i'm using vc++ 6 sp5)
thanks,

have you defined the _toolkit_in_dll_ symbol in your project?

gsdevlib.lib is static library. if you use dd_vc6.dll your project should be linked with gsdevices.lib - see sample projects.

thanks for your help, regarding the previous answer i defined _toolkit_in_dll_ but i cannot find the library you mencioned - gsdevices.lib. i found a gsdevices.dll, created a .lib from it and added this to my project, still without results, i get the same unresolved external.
just to mention when i compiled the odamdiapplib sample project i had to change the code that opens the "open file dialog with preview" to look for the "?createopenwithpreviewdlg@@ya_npavcabstractprevie w@@pauhwnd__@@pbd2kpapavopenwithpreviewdlg@@@z"
symbol in odadlgext.dll (instead of createopenwithpreviewdlg).
maybe these libraries were built with visual studio .net and i'm having problems with the symbol names that the linker generated - i'm using vc++ 6 (just a guess...);
thanks,

the 1.07 version of odamfcapplib contains a build configuration that uses the dll version of dwg direct.
