Your errors are unusual in that it appears to be showing that it's trying to link against both fltk.lib and fltkdll.dll, causing the 'already defined' errors. It should only be linking against one or the other, not both. I just downloaded the lastest fltk 1.1.x to my Vista machine: http://fltk.org/software.php?VERSION=1.1.x-r6025&FILE=fltk/snapshots/fltk-1.1.x-r6025.tar.gz ..and it built fine with both VS Express 2005 (VS8) and the Platform SDK which was installed "correctly". Here are the exact steps I took to build FLTK: 1) Run VS 2005 Express 2) File -> Open -> Project/Solution, then browse to the downloaded FLTK directory, then vc2005 -> fltk.sln 3) (OPTIONAL) Change 'Debug' to 'Release' 4) In the "Solution Explorer", highlight the "Solution 'fltk'" at the very top, right click and choose 'Build Solution" Built fine, no errors at all. BTW, to install the Platform SDK for VS Express "correctly" involves some tricky steps that is easy to miss. You'd think installing the Platform SDK would automatically configure itself with Visual Studio 2005 environment, but it doesn't. Make sure you do these steps after installing the Platform SDK: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-gb/express/aa700755.aspx Just in case that info moves away, here is the info there in a nutshell: After installing the Platform SDK, you still need to do these things to get VS Express to recognize and use it: 1) Tools -> Options -> Projects and Solutions -> VC++ Directories, and using the "Show directories for:" chooser, adding the paths to the appropriate subsection: Executable files: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2\Bin Include files: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2\Include Library files: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2\Lib 2) Hit OK, quit out of VS Express 2005. 3) Using Notepad or a text editor, edit the file: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\VCProjectDefaults\corewin_express.vsprops ..and change this line: AdditionalDependencies="kernel32.lib" ..to instead read: AdditionalDependencies="kernel32.lib user32.lib gdi32.lib winspool.lib comdlg32.lib advapi32.lib shell32.lib ole32.lib oleaut32.lib uuid.lib" 4) That's it. Now when you open VS Express 2005, you should be able to build applications normally without errors about 'windows.h' not being found and no unresolved externals for builtin Win32 functions. _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
