• Rizzlers Unresolved externals and wchar_t's

  I'm getting the following errors when compiling my program in VS2005b2.  This program uses a 3rd party static lib and associated header files, so I can't change them.  I think it was originally compiled in eVC++4.0.

• Ed.Richard Spawn invalid argument: Fails at VS2005 but was working at VS2003

  Hi, I'm just trying to convert some sample code from VS2003 to VS2005. Now this line was working fine at VS2003: nPid = _spawnl( _P_WAIT, "process.bin" ,NULL); But if fails at VS2005, returning invalid argument. I have also tried: nPid = _spawnl( _P_WAIT, ".\\process.bin\0" ,NULL); nPid = _spawnl( _P_WAIT, ".\\process.exe\0" ,NULL); Of course, process.h is included. So what has changed with spawning at VS2005 Thanks in advance. Thanks for the tip Marius. While I would like to know where to look up the list of error codes, I followed the debugger and it seems that it never returns a value, it crashes before doing it. However, la ...Show All

• hipswich Small executables

  Hello. I'm working on a project where file size matters. I'm compiling an empty project about 6-7 kb-s. is there anyway to get smaller file Managed executables are generally smaller than native executables, so you might have seen one of those. Other than that, there are a number of tricks you can apply to get smaller output, such as replacing the C runtime library. Articles and texts describing the procedures can be found on MSDN, CodeProject, Codeguru, and a bunch of other sites. For one, you can read through http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/01/01/hood/ . thanks, I know about packers. I will use them, but what I want is that I saw some compiled exe files which were 3 kb. so I wonder, is there any way i can compile exe ...Show All

• Seidel1 Use win32 dll in the window application

  Hi, I try to reuse my code from a win32 console application to a window application project, Then I try to make dll of win32 project and add it to the new window project, but I get error that said my win32 project is not .Net assembly. Can some one show me how to reuse my code or do I have to copy paste all the code and recompile it Thank you in advance, sorry for my poor english To use unmanaged Win32 Dll in other C++ application, you need to add .lib file to the Linker dependencies list, include Dll interface h-file to the client project .cpp file, and call Dll functions. This way works both for unmanaged and managed client. Unmanaged Win32 Dll cannot be added as reference, this way works only for .NET class libraries. ...Show All

• nglow Strip debug info from an obj or lib?

  In VC 2005 what tool can I use to strip (remove) debug info from an already built LIB or obj file Did you lose the VS6 versions of shell32.lib and uuid.lib I can email them to you if you need them (t--x.org, is that correct ) It's a third party library I want to remove the debug info from.  I need to have a clean shell32.lib and uuid.lib for some legacy DLL that needs VC 6.0.  Those libs have debug info in them that is incompatible with VC 6 (i.e. the lib is unusable due to an error message "debugging information corrupt").    Although most libs in the Platform SDK are pure import libraries (no static objs in them) some of the libs in the SDK contain ...Show All

• USACoder How to configure runtime library in MSVC++ 8 (2005)

  hi, We can configure the runtime library option in MSVC++ .net (2003) using a drop-down list in "Project -> Properties -> Configuration Properties -> C/C++ -> Code Generation -> Runtime Library" . I don't see the link "C/C++" in the MSVC++ .net 8 (2005) "Project -> Properties -> Configuration Properties". Can you kindly guide me how to set the run time library for multi-threading in MSVC++8 (2005) Click on one of your .cpp files, then go to properties. Additionally, all VC++ 2005 crt libs are multi-threaded. Choices are static, dynamic, debug and release. The preferred method is dynamic for both debug and release (MD and MDd). ...Show All
