Are you sure these libraries were all compiled with VS10? I'm quite sure they're not. For example the freetype page mentions the msvc 6 runtime dll's. There is no guarantee in C++ that object files from different compilers will work together, so mixing vs6 and vs8 object files is almost sure to not work.
So, compile everything from source, using my instructions on the wiki (I posted the link yesterday or so - or maybe it was on -devel). It's virtually impossible to get C++ programs to work from binary libraries. Don't bother trying until you know about all the details and how the compilers work. When you compile all these things from source, make sure to use the same settings for each project: runtime libary, usage of SECURE_CRT, what version of the crt to use, etc. Again, I don't recommend trying unless you already know how to work with VS. Also, this has nothing to do with VS. It's just how C++ works. I know it's fashionable to dislike VS, but the fact of the matter is that it's universal that things only work when one knows how to work with them. cheers, roel On Tue, Apr 5, 2011 at 7:18 PM, William Johnston <[email protected]> wrote: > Well, I didn't compile any of the libraries.
