Error on linking demos

I'm getting a very frustrating collection of errors. When I try to build the Dynamics_Demos project under VC++ 2008 Express, I get the following errors:

1>------ Build started: Project: Dynamics_Demos, Configuration: Release Win32 ------

...which is fine, because it looks then like I should be linking to another library. So, I add in "libconvexdecomposition.lib" to the libraries linked against, and I get a big pile of

and more. But, when I remove msvcprt.lib from being linked to, I get a whole other pile of 'unresolved externals' errors. Basically, I need to somehow get the linker to intelligently choose references between msvcprt.lib and libconvexdecomposition.lib, rather than just complain to me about over-definition. Is there some way to resolve this? Thanks!

Yeah I'm still getting that error as well.

Ogre SDK (newest)
SVN OgreBullet
Bullet 2.74 (built)
MSVS 2008

All the libs build correctly but the demos don't.

Heres the build log for the demos...

I checked for Multi-threading on bullet and ob and they where all set. I have no idea what that patch file is fish contributed or how to use it. But I doubt thats necessary with the newest svn build of ob right?

I also currently have the same problem as @Pans

Not a Visual Studio user and I can see why you are having problems trying to build this. Things that you may want to try:

1) When building the debug libs for bullet it appears to overwrite the release libraries since both are installed to $CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX/lib. I edited the CMakefile.txt and added (probably screw up the bullet demos build):
set(CMAKE_DEBUG_POSTFIX "_d")

2) To build bullet with Multi-threaded DLL (/MD) from the cmake gui set:
USE_MSVC_RUNTIME_LIBRARY_DLL TRUE

Then regenerate the VS files and rebuild bullet ...

I make ogreBullet and bulletdemos all with visual c++ express 2010 and all correct and all demos go fine. If any person of this post not solve her problem. I can help but using VC++ express 2010. For make bullet demos I use CMAKE and having correct variable systems in windows create project for VC2010 and go fine. See you.

Hello,

I'm also getting these errors.
I'm trying to build OgreBullet with Visual C++ 2010 Express from the SVN...

Did you try building bullet with Multi-threaded DLL as suggested above:

I'm getting same error as pan, any better suggestion?

I'm getting same error as pan, any better suggestion?

The above problem has been discussed in a number of threads in this forum.

Not sure what you mean by "better" suggestion.

You could try changing the Dynamics Demo build, this works for me on a Release build (though so did my original suggestion). I don't know why/didn't expect the following to work:
Dynamics Demo - C++ - Code Generation - Run Time Library
- Multi-threaded (/MT)
- Multi-threaded (/MTd)

Alternatively you can try ignoring certain libs. I couldn't get this to work:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/Aa267384

Also try asking on the bullet forums.

try "Use MFC in a Static Library"

On my 64-bit machine, I encounter the following errors when trying to build Dynamics_Demos for OgreBullet using MS Visual Studio 2010 Professional.

Again, I attempted to use Bullet v. 2.80 rev. 2531. On this machine, I have Ogre 1.7.4 SDK. Boost version is 1.43.

As another follow-up, I tried dermont's advice and switched code generation to /MTd in the Debug configuration and /MT in the Release configuration. Once I provided the corresponding Boost .lib files, synchronized the output directory, and removed the post-build step, the project compiled in both configurations. However, I have not managed to run either Dynamics_Demos.exe. At first, the Booststrap category with a path to OgreCore.zip was not found in resources.cfg. (For the Debug case, I also had to make a copy of resources_d.cfg and rename it resources.cfg in C:\OGRE\OgreSDK_vc10_v1-7-4\bin\debug, where I moved Dynamics_Demos.exe.) However, it looks like OgreCore.zip does not come with Ogre 1.7.4. The latest version of OgreCore.zip that I have managed to locate came with Ogre 1.7.1. I tried placing a couple of versions of OgreCore.zip to C:\OGRE\OgreSDK_vc10_v1-7-4\media\packs, and the effect was the same: Dynamics_Demos.exe started but did not open a window. The program did nothing noticeable. The Ogre log looks like this:

Can OgreBullet work with Ogre 1.7 at all? Given that neither Ogre, nor Bullet are abandoned projects, is OgreBullet, nevertheless, abandoned and why? Is there a need for someone to pick it up and revive?

As another follow-up, I tried dermont's advice and switched code generation to /MTd in the Debug configuration and /MT in the Release configuration. Once I provided the corresponding Boost .lib files, synchronized the output directory, and removed the post-build step, the project compiled in both configurations. However, I have not managed to run either Dynamics_Demos.exe. At first, the Booststrap category with a path to OgreCore.zip was not found in resources.cfg. (For the Debug case, I also had to make a copy of resources_d.cfg and rename it resources.cfg in C:\OGRE\OgreSDK_vc10_v1-7-4\bin\debug, where I moved Dynamics_Demos.exe.) However, it looks like OgreCore.zip does not come with Ogre 1.7.4. The latest version of OgreCore.zip that I have managed to locate came with Ogre 1.7.1. I tried placing a couple of versions of OgreCore.zip to C:\OGRE\OgreSDK_vc10_v1-7-4\media\packs, and the effect was the same: Dynamics_Demos.exe started but did not open a window. The program did nothing noticeable. The Ogre log looks like this:

From your log file it doesn't look like your resources.cfg file is setup properly, OgreCore.zip is supplied with the ogrebullet media files in Media\packs.

I tried another suggestion by dermont and rebuilt Bullet having checked USE_MSVC_RUNTIME_LIBRARY_DLL in CMake. I switched OgreBullet configurations back to /MDd and /MD for Debug and Release. Everything compiled and linked. The OgreBullet demos worked once I set resources.cfg to
[Bootstrap]
Zip=C:/OgreBullet/Demos/Media/packs/OgreCore.zip

# Resource locations to be added to the default path
[General]
FileSystem=C:/OgreBullet/Demos/Media/
FileSystem=C:/OgreBullet/Demos/Media/fonts
FileSystem=C:/OgreBullet/Demos/Media/materials/programs
FileSystem=C:/OgreBullet/Demos/Media/materials/scripts
FileSystem=C:/OgreBullet/Demos/Media/materials/textures
FileSystem=C:/OgreBullet/Demos/Media/models
FileSystem=C:/OgreBullet/Demos/Media/overlays
FileSystem=C:/OgreBullet/Demos/Media/particle
FileSystem=C:/OgreBullet/Demos/Media/gui

[Bullet]
FileSystem=C:/OgreBullet/Demos/Media/OgreBullet
FileSystem=C:/OgreBullet/Demos/Media/materials
FileSystem=C:/OgreBullet/Demos/Media/textures
I launched Dynamics_Demos.exe from C:\OGRE\OgreSDK_vc10_v1-7-4\bin\debug and C:\OGRE\OgreSDK_vc10_v1-7-4\bin\release. In the former case, I made sure that the .pdb file was renamed to Dynamics_Demos.pdb from what it was (OgreBulletDynamicsDemo.pdb). Earlier, I had to change Properties->Common Properties->Linker->General->Output File to $(OutDir)Dynamics_Demos.exe. Now OgreBullet demos work on my 32-bit machine with Ogre 1.7.4 SDK. Even though the SDK comes with Boost 1_47_0, OgreBullet was compiled with Boost 1_43_0. This machine runs Windows 7 Ultimate. My next step is to try to get OgreBullet demos to work on my 64-bit machine where I have a custom-built Ogre 1.7.3.

Same approach as above also works on my 64-bit machine running a built-from-source 64-bit Ogre 1.7.3 under the auspices of Windows 7 Home Edition. On this computer, Boost 1.48 was used consistently throughout. Rebuild Bullet (v. 2.80 in my case), having set USE_MSVC_RUNTIME_LIBRARY_DLL as dermont recommended, delete the post-build step from OgreBullet configurations, set resources.cfg consistently as described above, copy Dynamics_Demos.exe (and Dynamics_Demos.pdb, renamed as needed) to C:\OGRE\ogre_src_v1-7-3\bin\sdk\bin\debug and C:\OGRE\ogre_src_v1-7-3\bin\sdk\bin\release (in my case of the built-from-source Ogre), and voila!
