And yet more compiler errors....

by Robert Rice · in Torque Game Engine Advanced · 02/27/2005 (6:41 pm) · 6 replies

Using Visual Studio 2005 Express, I am getting this on a build. Anyone got any clues as to why and how to fix it?

I had to add two libraries to the "Torque Shader Engine" project's link line: ole32.lib oleaut32.lib

Once again, Russ, you are my savior. That seems to have worked...thanks a lot!

Hmm... Why would you need the OLE libraries? That doesn't make any sense as those are for Object Linking and Embedding

Harold,
Yeah, I don't know why those are needed for the compile, but it works when you add them in! A mystery that would be nice to have a solution to eventually, so areal fix can be made instead of this workaround...but in the meantime, it gets the job done.

Guess what dll's implement the COM stuff being referenced here (i.e. CoCreateInstance etc), the OLE ones :)

The import libraries need to be used to resolve the references to the COM API being used.

How do I add the ole32.lib and oleaut32.lib?
