[galib] Problem executing GAlib example

[Peter Jay Salzman]

Hi Shaiful,

You say you're new to VC++.  I would recommend you use the compiler you're
used to.  Especially if you're used to Linux, because GALib compiles
trivially on Linux.  It ain't so trivial on Windows.

At a minimum, in properties:

   C/C++
      Additional Include Directories: ..\(galib library project)

Under "Command Line", this might be useful:

   /D "_CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE"

Can't recall any further gotchas.  Just have to plug away at it.  It was
painful for me and took a few days.  But I ended up learning VC++ a whole
lot better for it.

IIRC, the VC++ command line makefile also worked out of the box.


Oh, in your *example programs*:

1. Right click the project name, choose "References" click "Add New
   Reference" and add a reference to the project that contains your GALib
   souce code.  You'll al

2. In "Additional Include Directories", add ..\(galib library project)

3. Under "Command Line", this might be useful:

   /D "_CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE"



Again, I highly recommend you compile on Linux.  Or use the VC++ command
line makefile, cl.exe.  It's easier.

Pete


ps- I'm not kidding about the "How to Ask a Question" links.  The first
   lesson any programmer should learn is "post the error message".

   The second lesson is to learn a text editor.

   Once those two things are mastered, learning a language isn't a bad idea.
