Link error caused by change in latest HEAD version

by David Dougher · in Torque Game Engine · 03/20/2002 (11:18 am) · 6 replies

There was a recent change made in the Head version that apparently was not propagated to all the tools. I downloaded a brand new version of the Head and recompiled it and got the following error at Link time...

This one came from BuildWad.exe - Debug version.

Compiling...
main.cc
palQuantization.cc
wadProcessor.cc
Linking...
engine_DEBUG.lib(winCPUInfo.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "void __cdecl SetProcessorInfo(struct Platform::SystemInfo_struct::Processor &,char *,unsigned int,unsigned int)" (?SetProcessorInfo@@YAXAAUProcessor@SystemInfo_struct@Plat
form@@PADII@Z)
engine_DEBUG.lib(winCPUInfo.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _detectX86CPUInfo
../tools/buildWad_DEBUG.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 2 unresolved externals
Error executing link.exe.


There were several of these covering different tools. I believe someone is making changes to the processor type recognition code for the engine. Could you extend that change to cover the tools as well?

    I checked in a fixed "Torque Lib.dsp" file. Please let me know if that fixes the problem.

    Well, not quite...

    While most of the pieces now seem to compile correctly in the tools the Release versions - only - of BuildWad, Map2Dif, texture2bm8, max2mapexporter_max3, and max2mapexporter_max4 all failed. the demo, lib, and debug version of all the tools worked fine.

    I fixed the configuration name for platformCPUInfo.asm in "Torque Lib.dsp" and checked it in. This should fix the problem, please let me know if it doesn't.

    Edit: I made an additional fix to both Torque Demo.dsp and Torque Lib.dsp, and checked that in as well.

    @David,

    Sorry about the misleading information. I always compile in debug mode. I just compiled all of the modules, excluding max2dtsExporter Max3, for both Release and Debug. Everything compiled.

    @John,

    Thanks again for the quick solution!

    Well, I figure if I break it quick I need to fix it quick. :)
