samples from directx SDK fails

samples from directx SDK fails

• Guillermo G.

  Make sure you are also adding the C:\Programfiler\Microsoft DirectX SDK (December 2005)\Include directory. I don't see it in your list.
  
  I hope this helps.
  Take care.

  I think the above part is your problem. You should be using the sample browser and clicking on "Install Project" rather than going at the files directly. If you explore the directory structure they don't keep the files in the SDK in the same place as they are after installing a project - which would explain the compiler getting confused!

  Never mind, I found the solution at 3dbuzz.com

  There was a post with this problem

  http://www.3dbuzz.com/vbforum/showthread.php s=9282e4160df9076ea7068f587d047866&p=1018721

  you need to add the following to Additional dependencies:

  kernel32.lib
  user32.lib
  shell32.lib
  Gdi32.lib
  Advapi32.lib

  the last 2 weren't mentioned at 3dbuzz, but i found them necessary

  I'm having the exact same problem with the new Feb06 sdk.

  And I used the "install project method"

  Has anyone found a solution

  It wouldn't make sense if you're running directly from an installed SDK sample, but have you got the "common" folder contents in your solution

  A couple of other things - do all other samples fail with the same errors Is this solution created from the "Install Project" link - you're not manually copying the files around are you

  I do have the common folder in the solution. I clik File|Open|Project/Solution and select SimpleSample_2005.sln which is located in ..\Microsoft DirectX SDK (December 2005)\Samples\C++\Direct3D\SimpleSample\.
  
  All the other samples also fails during the linker phase.
  
  However I have found a reference in the release notes for buffer overflow detection which can cause these errormessages.
  http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/vccore/html/vclrfgsbuffersecurity.asp
  This detection is turned on by default in VC++. I have tried turning it on and off as it is described on that page. Still no luck.
  
  It also mentions:
  

  To resolve these errors you need to specify that the linker should also use bufferoverflowU.lib (assuming that your application targets the user mode and can use Win32 API):

  >cl a.cpp bufferoverflowU.lib Microsoft (R) C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 14.00.40310.32 for AMD64 Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. a.cpp Microsoft (R) Incremental Linker Version 8.00.40310.31 Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. /out:a.exe a.obj bufferoverflowU.lib >

  Or if you use a two step build process:

  >cl –c a.cpp bufferoverflowU.lib

  Microsoft (R) C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 14.00.40310.32 for AMD64

  Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

  a.cpp

  >link a.obj bufferoverflowU.lib

  Microsoft (R) Incremental Linker Version 8.00.40310.31

  I resolve this problem with below solution:

  1. Goto Option-->Projects-->VC++ Directories

  2. Move $(VCInstallDir)PlatformSDK\lib and $(VCInstallDir)PlatformSDK\lib\prerelease to the bottom. They must be under your DirectX lib directory such as C:\Program Files\Microsoft DirectX SDK (June 2006)\Lib\x86.

  I have added C:\Programfiler\Microsoft DirectX SDK (December 2005)\Include, it is also in my list on the first post.
  
  (Edit due to small font size for some reason)
  
  

• Ola Sprauten

  These seem to be the [type of] errors I have while trying to run any of your example code, the project is pointed to the x86 library reference in the project directory list.

  in reply I recieved a suggestion to make sure that I had a recent platform SDK installed. While trying to download the platform SDK I had a freeze of the installation program and had to clean up my registry. Chuck Walbourn told me that he could only suggest that I try to download a newer version of the platform SDK.
  
  After having downloaded the DirectX SDK and trying to run the software, I would also let people know that I have been using an evaluation package of the Visual Studio .NET 2003 version of C++ programming environment for educational purposes, and seeing as how these errors are often caused by hidden compiler codes that link to external code objects that are used for making the executable programs.
  
  If you are using a professional and fully licensed version of the software, I woiuld suggest that you contact Chuck Walbourn of chuckw@windows.microsoft.com SDE, Game Technology Group
