I figured i'd give Visual Studio a try and see if i can't figure out this whole programming thing as i go. I'm not really a programmer (i've only taken a few high-school-level classes), though, so if this seems completely silly that's why.

Anyway um. I can't seem to compile anything. I got the foobar SDK, and the Columns UI SDK, and the Windows Platform SDK, and Visual Studio Express.

I'm not really changing anything yet, i'm just trying to see if i can get stuff to compile. But whenever i try to build anything i get a bajillion errors like this:

Blah blah blah, you get the point. That happens with the static panel dealie from musicmusic's site (40 errors) and also with the albumart panel (250-something errors). I don't get what the problem is.

It couldn't find windows.h earlier, so i went and manually put in the path to it in the search path thingie (even though i ran the little deal that comes with the Platform SDK that's supposed to register all that junk)... but the fact that i had to do that makes me wonder if maybe none of those paths got registered at all? Do i have to go through and set those all myself, or could it be something else? :/

You did download the correct columns UI SDK from http://music.morbo.org/download/columns_ui-sdk.7z, and not from http://music.morbo.org/download/developmen...xtension_sdk.7z (which is for fb2k 0.8.3 only)?

If you haven't already found them, you might find foosion's tutorials useful.

Oh. Yeah, you're right. Whoops.

Now i have another problem though. I try to compile the 'foo_uie_console' example deal (without changing anything) and i get this.

Don't want to use the provided project in vc8\foo_uie_console.vcproj, eh? Note, if you're not going to use the provided foo_uie_console.vcproj, you'll have to add two lines to the top of main.cpp:

CODE

#pragma comment(lib, "comctl32")
#pragma comment(lib, "../shared/shared.lib")

But your uuid.lib linker error is caused by something else, namely the Platform SDK isn't properly integrated to Visual C++. You said that you had to fiddle with the include paths to get windows.h to be seen. To get uuid.lib to be seen, you need to fiddle with Visual studio again. This time you need to fiddle with the lib paths. I suggest you follow the full instructions to integrate the PSDK with Visual C++ Express.

I would check you have PSDK libraries folder listed in VC++ Directories for Library files. (You can check and edit the directories in VC++ Options, the folder should be something like "%programfiles%\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2\Lib").

If it is there, I would wonder where Uuid.lib from your PSDK went..

As for warnings, you can fix most of the ones in main.cpp ( "unsigned n, count" -> "t_size n, count" ). But included foo_uie_console project didn't have /Wp64 enabled anyway..

Oh. I guess i wouldn't have thought to look for a file related to foo_uie_console anywhere other than... in the foo_uie_console directory. Heh.

QUOTE(oshah @ May 18 2006, 14:43)

OK, thanks, i thought that might be it but i didn't want to go changing too much in there without knowing what i was doing.

I can now compile 'step 1' of foosion's tutorial without any errors or anything.

However, i still can't compile foo_uie_albumart, foo_uie_console, or foo_uie_example. In the case of foo_uie_albumart it's more of the same stuff i had last time (tons of errors about conversions and 'possible loss of data' and so on). In the case of foo_uie_example and foo_uie_console (using the .vcproj files from the vc8 directory this time) i get this junk:

It looks as if you're not including all the necessary dependencies in your second project.

As in they don't exist, or i'm not linking to them?

Check project dependencies. The correct libraries will be kept up to date and linked automatically if you run a normal "Build" on your project. The above errors would seem to indicate that you either missed the foobar2000 SDK and UI Extension SDK, or something screwy is going on.

Wait, scratch that, missing dependencies should have a lot more missing symbols than that.
