The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Rank: Sage

AlexFM:

You are using some classes (vhtIOConn, vhtDevice...) which are kept in some library. It is not enough to add h-file with these classes, you need to add also library file for linker. The way you do it depends on the compiler. For example, in VC++ you need to add library name to: Project - Settings - Link - Object/library modules.

Assisted Solution

Rank: Sage

AlexFM:

If all these classes belong to your own project, this means that you didn't implement number of functions:

vhtIOConn::~vhtIOConn
vhtDevice::getLastUpdateTime
...

For example:

class a
{
A(); // only declaration, no implementation
};

// client.cpp

...
A a; // compiles, but produces linker error: A::A is not implemented

10.29.2003 at 08:34AM PST, ID: 9643169

GloomyFriar:

You have to write code for the functions vhtIOConn::~vhtIOConn(void), vhtDevice::getLastUpdateTime(void), ...

Could you suggest how i could resolve this conflict for these errors? Thanks......

10.29.2003 at 10:35AM PST, ID: 9644238

GloomyFriar:

Firstly, you have to use or libcid.lib or msvcirt.lib - not both at the same time.

Accepted Solution

10.29.2003 at 10:37AM PST, ID: 9644251

GloomyFriar:

LIBCID.LIB - Single threaded, static link
MSVCIRT.LIB - Multithreaded, dynamic link (import library for MSVCI70.DLL)

10.29.2003 at 10:41AM PST, ID: 9644290

GloomyFriar:

The same with LIBCD.lib and MSVCRT.lib.

MSVCRT.LIB - Multithreaded, dynamic link (import library for MSVCR70.DLL).
LIBCD.LIB - Single-threaded, static link (debug)

10.29.2003 at 11:01AM PST, ID: 9644509

GloomyFriar:

And some functions (__imp__glLoadIdentity, __imp__glLoadMatrixd, ...) are still undefined - you need to add some more lib files.

After resolving the library issues and adding the appropriate libraries, i still get the following errors. Please help? Thanks

Hi,

i've managed to solve the problem. It appears that the toolkit i'm using requires the Code generation to be set to 'dll multi-threaded debug' mode and that has been causing the problem.

Thank you for the help.........

Hi

I am trying to use Log4cxx in my source code . All i got was a set of header files for this api ... which I have included in my source and it compiles fine . But it gives a linker error mentioned below. Do I need to register some dll for Log4cxx or just including the header files is enuff' . Also The code generation is set to debug multi threaded dll .

Following is the error that i am getting. Any help would be appreciated.
