VS2008 Professional

visual studio
#1

Forgive me if this has been answered elsewhere, I hope I didn’t miss it. I’m trying to build openFrameworks in VS2008 as a static library project. I don’t see a .sln for the library itself, so I have been rolling my own. I’m down to a single compiler error:

fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: ‘unistd.h’: No such file or directory

I’ve google’d the file and it seems as though this would be a Linux or Mac include, but perhaps not used/needed under Windows?

I’d be glad to share my .sln/.vcproj when I get it working, and I can easily enough back-port the VS2008 versions to VS2003 Pro and VS2005 Pro.

Thanks for any help!

#2

can you find out where that is included and try commenting it out?

#3

The file with the include is ofUCUtils.h:

  
 1 #ifndef OFUCUTILS_H_  
 2 #define OFUCUTILS_H_  
 3 #include <stdio.h>  
 4 #include <stdlib.h>  
 5 #include <unistd.h>  
 6 #include <unicap.h>  
 7 #include <unistd.h>  
 8 #include <string.h>  
 9  
10 struct AVPicture;  
...snip...

I added all the existing files from the libs\openFrameworks to my new .vcproj, so ofUCUtils.cpp (and of course) ofUCUtils.h were getting compiled, and causing the problem I posted about. I converted the moviePlayerExample solution to a VS2008 Pro .sln from it’s VS2005 EE format to see if I could get an idea of what was wrong. I noticed that ofUCUtils.cpp/.h isn’t included, so I removed them from my project and was able to move on to the next problem. (I see unistd.h included twice, lines 5 and 7, just fyi. I initially had tried your suggestion of commenting them out, but that lead to even more compiler errors.)

I had, up to this point, been configuring the C/C++ and Linker properties as needed to satisfy the compiler’s initial errors. I used the properties from the example solution to complete mine, and then used the steps to get VS packages to work in VS EE 2008, by you, from-here to solve the last problem. It now builds successfully as a static library and I created a minimal project to test it - so far, it seems to work just great. However, I do get 958 linker warnings! :shock:

Thanks for the reply.
