VS 2010 Link Error

scottiebizzle — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 17:42:43 GMT

I'm compiling with VS2010 in Win7 using vmware on a Macbook Air ( I know, I know... ) and everything compiles ok but the embree project fails to link.

Creating library \\\\vmware-host\\Shared Folders\\Desktop\\embree-1.0\\\\x64\\Release\\embree.lib and object \\\\vmware-host\\Shared Folders\\Desktop\\embree-1.0\\\\x64\\Release\\embree.exp

renderer.lib(api.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "class embree::Ref __cdecl embree::rtcCreateAccel(char const *,struct embree::BuildTriangle const *,unsigned __int64)" (?rtcCreateAccel@embree@@YA?AV?$Ref@VIntersector@embree@@@1@PEBDPEBUBuildTriangle@1@_K@Z) referenced in function rtNewScene

\\\\vmware-host\\Shared Folders\\Desktop\\embree-1.0\\\\x64\\Release\\embree.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals

I could have sworn this built an EXE the first time I tried, then I put in some debug argument in the project and rebuilt and it would not link. I tried redownloading and same problem. Am I missing something?

Looks like a problem with Visual Studio in your environment. Can you check that Incremental Linking is disabled for the Embree project in your setup?

Can you also double check if the Renderer project references the rtcore project in your version?

[SergeyK] Please verify that both classes are declared as exported and they are used as imported.

[SergeyK] What a debug argumentdid you put in the project?

Best regards,
