Hi,

I just built wxwindows-2.4.2 with DMC++, using include files and converted .libs from the latest MS Platform SDK (February 2003).

When linking the samples in wxwindows-2.4.2 I alway's get the same linker error:

for example:
> make -f makefile.sc
link  /DELEXECUTABLE /RC -L/exet:nt/su:windows notebook.obj , notebook.exe, note
book, ..\..\lib\ wx_sc.lib  png_sc tiff_sc jpeg_sc zlib_sc shell32_sc wsock32_sc
 winmm32_sc advapi32 comctl32 comdlg32 gc gdi32 kernel32 ole32 oleaut32 snn user
32 uuid
OPTLINK (R) for Win32  Release 7.50B1

..\..\lib\wx_sc.lib(droptgt)
 Error 42: Symbol Undefined _IID_IDropTarget
..\..\lib\wx_sc.lib(droptgt)
 Error 42: Symbol Undefined _IID_IUnknown
..\..\lib\wx_sc.lib(dataobj)
 Error 42: Symbol Undefined _IID_IDataObject
..\..\lib\wx_sc.lib(dataobj)
 Error 42: Symbol Undefined _IID_IEnumFORMATETC

--- errorlevel 4


I rebuilt the wx_sc.lib library after changing
wxUSE_DATAOBJ and wxUSE_DRAG_AND_DROP = 0

but the error persist!


I assume that droptgt.cpp gets compiled and inserted into that wx_sc.lib, where it references those symbols , but it failes to resolve the symbols _IID_IDropTarget (et al.). I couldn't figure out the origin of IID_IDropTarget but I guess it should be something like ...\sdk\ole32.lib !

The only ole*-libraries I have are those from the converted Platform SDK libraries

[C:\utv\dm]
> dir ole*.lib /s

Done anyone have a hint on how to get by the problem described above ?

It links for me using the libraries suppiled with DMC; I've not tried it against the libaries from the SDK, but the error you report is suggestive of missing imports in the .lib files

chris

I built a project using the IDDE and libs from the D Mars CD; I saw these symbols as unresolved when linking, and these symbols were resolved by adding uuid.lib
