Compiling of demo enclaves failing

[Marion_M_Intel]

Hello,

giving SGX a quick spin, I am already failing on compiling the sample projects that come with the SGX SDK. I'd suspect the mistake to be buried in the setup, seems I can't figure out where though. I'm using VS2015 with SGX SDK version 1.8 and Intel C++ Compiler 17.0.

The source I'm currently looking at is the Cxx11SGXDemo included with the SDK, the errors I'm seeing are consistent though throughout all the demo projects (see below).

I'm sure there is something obvious I am missing, just what?

If you change the project setting to use the Microsoft VC++ compiler in the project setting (please see attachment for a screenshot), it should fix all these errors that you see.

Hello, thank you very much for the quick reply. Done as told, and now running into linker errors as shown below. 

Error	LNK1120	1 unresolved externals	Enclave	C:\Users\mmarscha\Desktop\SGX\Cxx11SGXDemo\Release\Enclave.dll	1

It is because the DLL is in the output directory. Please go into your project setting and change the "Working Directory" from $(ProjectDir) to $(OutDir)

[Marion_M_Intel]

This sadly did not change anything regarding the linker errors :) I found though that Debug builds, regardless of the working directory. Any idea what I'm missing? Project settings for both debug and release look the same. 

[Hoang_N_Intel]

Can you set /NODEFAULTLIB when linking for the Enclave project?

Please see attachment on how to set using the project setting for linker. Please let us know the result.

[Marion_M_Intel]

That flag was already set on the Enclave project, but I found something else. If I disable optimization (Release version) I can compile linker error free. I changed /O2 to /Od, same as is set for Debug.  

My experience with Visual Studio is limitied, could that be that speed optimization introduces linker errors?

Hi,

Had the same issue on a private project I'm working on, when compiling the enclave on PreRelease/Win32 compilation fails for some of the object files on "error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __ftoui3" - While Debug/Win32 compiles fine. I believe that we face the same issue as Marion's output to x86 directory. Testing Marion's suggestion made PreRelease/Win32 compile, but I want optimizations..

The solution I've taken: I tested PreRelease/X64 and it compiled without these errors. I hope that by posting here it'll help lost souls in the future.

In addition, Hoang Nguyen, looking at the differences between PreRelease/Win32 and PreRelease/x64 under linker settings the only effective difference is under General -> Additional Library Directories. The $(Platform) directs each of the configurations to a different SGX SDK libraries path. Maybe there is an issue with the Win32 libraries? I'm running on top of Intel SGX SDK for Windows v1.9.100.41172 (not the latest nowadays).

Hoang Nguyen, to reproduce the issue, I opened a fresh "Cxx11SGXDemo" - the default compiler (Intel C++ 16.0 Compiler) works just fine for PreRelease\Win32, setting the compiler to Visual Studio 2015 (v140) reproduced the issue (and again, PreRelease\x64, does compile).

Can get someone to look into it?
