fatal error cannot open include file

Sat, 28 Nov 2009 18:57:47 Z

Hi!

I created a Win 32 console application and copied one header file to the header folder. When I include this header file, I get this error: cannot open include file.

#include "glut.h"

int main() {
	return 0;
}

Please, help me.

Active Scripting Engines

Sat, 28 Nov 2009 21:36:55 Z

I have written a great nice script host for my application. And everything works great when I use the (Windows) build in VBScript and JScript engines. However as I understood (a lot) of third party scripts engines are implemented, and then I when on a download adventure on the Web.

I started by downloading the ActiveScriptRuby v1.8.7 from http://arton.hp.infoseek.co.jp/. Setting lang="RubyScript" and things seemed to run, until the script engine was about to close in m_axScript->Close(); Slam...

if (m_axScript)
{
     m_axScript->SetScriptState(SCRIPTSTATE_DISCONNECTED);
     m_axScript->Close();
     m_axScript->Release();
}
if (m_axParse) m_axParse->Release();

Ok probably a bad implementation, so I went for ActivePhyton, and downloaded it from http://www.activestate.com/activepython/. Setting lang="Python", but this time it never went passed

CLSID clsid;
hr = ::CLSIDFromProgID(T2OLE(lang),&clsid);
if (FAILED(hr)) return FALSE;
hr = ::CoCreateInstance(clsid,NULL,CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER,IID_IActiveScript,reinterpret_cast<void**>(&m_axScript));
if (FAILED(hr)) return FALSE;

I will of cause just use VBScript and JScript, but it surprises me that it is so difficult to get other scripting engines to work with my code.

Error

Fri, 27 Nov 2009 17:35:06 Z

Hi,

I downloaded code off the internet and am trying to run it. It should work becauase it has already been run by people.

There are 2 Cpp files and a header file. I created a console application and added the 3 files. Visual Studio express 2008.

DESolver.cpp
DETest.cpp
DESolver.h

I get the error...

\new folder\devcpp\detest.cpp(13) : warning C4627: '#include "DESolver.h"': skipped when looking for precompiled header use
Add directive to 'stdafx.h' or rebuild precompiled header

How can I create a new project, add the 3 files and compile successfully?

Thanks

Cannot able to access th CDaoDatabase class in MFC dialog based application in VC++ 2005 IDE

Fri, 27 Nov 2009 04:19:08 Z

I have one doubt in visual C++ 2005

How to inherit the CDaoDatabase class in MFC Dialog based application.

Normally in VC++6.0 in classview rightclick on workspace name, click Add class then one

dialog will be opened there we can choose the MFC baseclass as CDaoDatabase and create a

new class for for accessing the database behaviour of CDaoDatabase baseclass which we

selected.

But now in VC++ 2005 environment same procedure i did, but CDaoDatabase class is not shown

in the new class creation window which we selected by right click on workspace name in

classview.

If somebody knows how to access the CDaoDatabase class in MFC dialog based application in

VC++ 2005 IDE please teach me

How to add version to my own dlls?

Fri, 27 Nov 2009 07:18:19 Z

Dear all,

When I use dependency walker, I am able to see the version numbers of the different dll s used by my executable! But the exe also uses a dll created by me. But the dependency walker displays "N/A" when it comes to the version number of my executable!

I am using VC++ Express Edition 2005, to create the dll. I would like to know how to add version information in dll s created using VC++ 2005 Express Edition.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks,
Raja.

ReBase Tool usage

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 08:35:38 Z

I got some knowledge about ReBase tool to rebase DLL address, however I don't know how to use the parameter -R and -N.

Here I have many DLLs to be rebased, and there is a third part DLL which has had a fixed DLL address. Then I want that the third part DLL has its own original address and other DLLs should not override the third part DLL's address. I feel I should use param -R and -N. But I can still meet with an error.

Assume my DLLs are A.DLL, B.DLL, C.DLL and the third part DLL called tp.dll.
rebase -b 0x40000000 -R . -N tp.dll A.dll B.dll C.dll

what's the meaning of 'image root'?

Stack overflow problem

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 11:56:13 Z

I have a problem with stack overflow in my (Win32) program which does very deep recursion - over 4000 deep recursion.

I'm getting a stack overflow at recursion number 596, regardless of what I set my stack size to, either using /F on the C++ compiler or changing the setting(s) for the Linker.

Am I doing something that's not supported? Why is the stack size setting having no effect? Is there a way I could have caused a stack overflow that's not actually to do with the recursion?

And BTW what is the difference between my 'reserved' stack and my 'committed' stack?

Specifing a new $(Variable)

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 22:25:21 Z

I am using VC++ 2008 Express. I have a solution with 27 projects. Each project is for a different Matlab mex file. I need to include Matlab headers and libraries so I have the "Additional Include Directories" and "Additional Library Directories" setup for each project. However, I want the flexibility to compile against different versions of the Matlab files. I would really like to have a variable like $(MatlabPath) which I can setup for all the projects so that I do not have to modify each one if I want to change the path in the future. However, I cannot find any reference on how to do this. I tried making a batch file which setup an environmental variable but that did not seem to work.

set MATLAB=R2009a
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\VCExpress.exe" clients.sln

Also is there an easy way to share include paths, etc. between release and debug builds. I would hate to have to set everything up again if I want to debug the files.

Thanks

Problems creating a project

Hi I just re-installed Visual Studio C++ Express Edition as I couldn't create a project when I first installed it. I'm having the same issue. I click on File>New>Project and can then choose a file name etc but when I press ok a box pops up saying 'Navigation to the webpage was cancelled'

Can anyone help me fix this? I'm not too great with computers

Thanks.

fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'gl/glut.h': No such file or directory

Wed, 05 Jul 2006 05:49:08 Z

Before you ask , yes i already have search the forum, heck i even search yahoo for an asnwer. Very new to V C++ Express still, and i have the Platform SDK installed. I've seen the video, modified the proper files for VC++ Express.

Im currently writing a small/simple win 32 console app, using the glut library. I download GLUT, put it into the proper location:

glut into D:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK\include\gl
glut32.lib into D:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK\Lib
glut32.dll into C:\WINDOWS\system32

/*beginning of my code
#include <gl/glut.h>

const GLsizei windowWidth = 500;
const GLsizei windowHeight = 500; */

I have $FrameworkSDKDir(without the $ sign of course) variable set to D:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK in my System variables.

I also have $VSInstallDir variable set to D:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8 again in my System variable.

Specially, i have my include path set to: $(FrameworkSDKDir)\include\gl in my VC++ directories

With all that said and done..when i compile i get the following error:

fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'gl/glut.h': No such file or directory

PS i even added glut32.lib to my linker input option.

So whats going on?

VC++ 2008/2010 installation error + SideBySide application error

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 23:24:54 Z

Hi
First of all I must confess that I'm from Poland and my english is not perfect (but I understand everything!)

I've got very irritating problem. I'll try to describe it as much as i can.
I have Windows Vista x64 (I'm administrator and the only one user of this PC)

Step 1.
I've succesfully installed application (that runs perfect on other PCs) but I can't run it - an error occurred:

The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log for more detail.

I was trying to find the solution everywhere and there is one (and it works for everybody). People are talking that installation of Visual C++ Express 2008 is necessary to fix this "SideBySide" error. But I can't install it.

Step 2.
I was trying to install Microsoft Visual C++ Express Edition with SP1 first online , then offline (downloaded iso) with THE SAME ERROR durning installation (click the link).

Step 3.
I was also trying to install Microsoft Visual C++ Express Edition 2010 beta with faith that will work same/better than 2008 edition (online and offline). When it was installed (without errors) It asked for restart to finish the installation. After the restart installator is giving similiar error message that 2008 edition did. CHECK IT OUT HERE.

toupper("help")

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 00:48:36 Z

I want to store text in a char and output it in uppercase using the "toupper()" function. For some reason it only works with a single character/letter (whatever), and when I output my single letter using the "toupper()" function, it always displays a number. This is the way I do it:

char text1, text2;

	cout<<"Enter text: "<<endl;
	cin>>text1;
	cout<<"Enter more text: "<<endl;
	cin>>text2;
	
	
	cout<<"text1: "<<text1<<"  \ntext2: "<<text2<<endl;
   
	
	
	if(  toupper(text1) ==toupper(text2))
		cout<<"The text is equal."<<endl;

	cout<<"text1: "<<toupper(text1)<<" \ntext2: "<<toupper(text2)<<endl;

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Is there a way to change Parent/Child behaviour ?

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 10:23:52 Z

what I need is (with API only) to make a parent window be able to cover its childs.

I display windows as childs to the main window, so on close main window, I won't need to remember each child, and close it.

but the problem, when I want access the main (parent) window, the childs don't let me, they cover it.

is there an API way to change this, so a child won't cover parent (without hiding/closing), and still remain its child ?

thanks in advance.

fatal error C1902: Program database manager mismatch; please check your installation

Fri, 27 Mar 2009 12:22:13 Z

Hi all,

When I run some of my small programs I get this message.

fatal error C1902: Program database manager mismatch; please check your installation

Mind you I wrote this code complied and ran it yesterday with no error messages.

I run the same code on a work machine and it works fine. Both my computer and the work computer were installed from the same source files.

I searched for this error and was directed to install SP1 version my version is 9.0.30729.1SP

Another suggestion was there was a compatibility issue between 3 files, I have not changed any files and this would not explain this code running yesterday and not today. When I go the link expecting to find the 3 offending files there is nothing there. The files stated as a possible source of my error message are mspdbsrv.exe, mspdbcore.dll, and mspdb80.dll.

I have completely uninstalled and reinstalled no difference, can anyone help please?

        struct std::tm a = {0,0,0,2,0,70}; /* Feb 1, 1970 */

        time_t currentTime;
        time ( &currentTime );
        time_t x = mktime(&a);

        double timeInSeconds = dateDifferenceInSeconds(x, currentTime);
        printf("\n%.0lf\n",timeInSeconds + 2678400); // Adding seconds of 1 month
    return 0;
}

If I use {0,0,0,1,0,70} in place of {0,0,0,2,0,70} for starting it from 1 jan then I get 0 as output

Linker error

Sat, 25 Apr 2009 21:16:50 Z

Hello everyone,

Does anyone know how to get rid of this error? It sounds like a double negative in the error description thus is quite confusing.

fatal error LNK1295: '/DYNAMICBASE:NO' not compatible with '/DRIVER' specification;
link without '/DYNAMICBASE:NO'

How do we "Link without '/DYNAMICBASE:NO' "?

Thanks for any help :)

Installed Memory

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 16:42:16 Z

I couldn't find anything on how to tell how much memory is installed in a computer.

My question is how do I find out how much memory is installed?
Also it needs to be cross platform, the more the better.

general error c101008d: Failed to write the updated manifest to the resource of file... Access is denied.

Sat, 05 Jan 2008 19:46:44 Z

I recently upgraded to Vista and having been tinkering with Visual C++ 2008 EE.

When I first compile code (in Release of Debug mode) it works fine. However, next time I compile I get the error message above.

The reason appears to be due to a Release (or Debug) folder being created in my Solution folder that is created with Read-Only attributes. If I delete this folder I can compile/run again but end up having to do this every time.

How do I stop this folder being created [as read-only]? (and why is it necessary?)

simple.c(1) : fatal error C1034: stdio.h: no include path set

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 13:58:12 Z

I am an absolute beginner of C programming. I downloaded MS VC++ 2008 Express Edition onto my system (Vista Business 32 bit, 1GB RAM, 1.8 GHz and 250GB HDD). I set an Environment Variable PATH to "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\bin;" so that I can run my programs in my local directory (D:\Pcpp).

1) After setting the Environment Variable PATH, I tested for the compiler by typing "cl" on command prompt under directory "D:\Pcpp". I got the O/P that is expected-

usage: cl [ option... ] filename... [ /link linkoption... ]

2) Then I went for a simple program by typing "notepad simple.c" under directory "D:\Pcpp". The program is

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
printf("This is a native C program.\n");
return 0;
}

3) Then compiled the program by typing "cl simple.c" under "D:\Pcpp" directory

4) To my disappointment, an error occurred. The error is

simple.c(1) : fatal error C1034: stdio.h: no include path set

Whats wrong with my program?

A step by step guidance will br very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

I can't seem to connect to an Access Database.

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 01:33:20 Z

I have setup in "Data Connections" a connection to the database and it sees the table and all.

But when I go to 'Data Sources' I only have 'Object' as an option and 'database' doesn't appear.

Is there any idea Why this would be the case? I'm using Visual C++ 2008 Express. Is there something I need to install or some setting I am missing for the project to use 'database'?

Thanks,

i have a question with shellexecute API

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 11:59:43 Z

first, the bottom line of the task i want to do, is to get windowhandle after executing some app

i saw an example code, showing how to get wHandle via Instance Handle,
you need to get the ID Process via GetWindowThreadProcessId of all current runing windows,
and comapre it with yours, until it match, so you know that window is the window you executed.

so, i tried shellexecute (preffered API for execute), but i didn't success, i think because the handle return from shellexecute
is not a handle that i can use with GetWindowThreadProcessId.

then i tried CreateProcess, and the handle from this is good,
the problem is i didn't succeed to execute every app i wanted, though i used the same code to execute every app.

so my question is
how to get the window handle of an app that i executed with shellexecute ?

if this is not possible by the data return from shellexecute,
and only possible with other technique, of searching windows text,class etc...

i need a sample code, demonstrate how to use CreateProcess, to execute every app i want,
with full success

thanks in advance.

string data type conversion errors

Wed, 30 Aug 2006 08:20:50 Z

I have been trying to get a std::string to convert to a system::string, the std one is somehow used by default by the namespace that I have create.

The namespace function that I am trying to use is:

string GetDatah::GetData::monster_name() {

return "Test message!";

}

When I call this function and try and print this message to a windows form label, the compiler comes up with the error:

Error 1 error C2664: 'void System::Windows::Forms::Control::Text::set(System::String ^)' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'std::string' to 'System::String ^' c:\documents and settings\peter\my documents\visual studio 2005\projects\c++\prorpg\prorpg game engine\prorpg game engine\Form1.h 100

So the function was passed as a std class string, and the windows form uses system strings...

Is there a way to convert the std::string to a system::string....

Please I can't work this out..
