Elektron-SDK-1.4.0 Window compile and link issues

Unknown

I'm migrating from ETA 3.1.0L1 to 3.4.0L1 (Elektron-SDK-1.4.0L1).

The Linux upgrade went fairly smoothly - some includes and libraries have moved around, however it builds and passes it's test suite.

On Windows (VC11) not so much.

We are getting persistent multiply & undefined symbols at link time.

We include the following libraries

librsslVACache.lib
libdacs.lib
libansi.lib
librssl.lib

Is there a problem with the Package or am I missing something?

Hi @Gordon Hunn,

This appears to be a packaging issue with 1.4 but will need to confirm with development. I’ve submitted a question to verify and to provide a proper solution going forward.

Thanks.

nick.zincone

Hi @Gordon.Hunn,

Try adding the following libs to your link:

crypt32.lib
cryptui.lib
kernel32.lib

Unknown

crypt32.lib has fixed the _Cert* missing references. Thank you.

However I'm still left with the multiple definitions in librsslVACache.lib

Hi @Gordon Hunn,

Are you using cache features within the library? If not, you don't need to include it.

nick.zincone

Hi @Gordon Hunn,

I looked into one of the example projects (WatchlistConsumer) included within the downloads and here is the list of libs it uses:

Unknown

This might be a red herring - removed librsslVACache.lib and now I see

1>libansi.lib(d_main.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol toascii referenced in function _ansi_pch

Any idea which lib supplies toascii() ?

nick.zincone

@Gordon.Hunn,

Have you tried to build any of the example applications? I would try here first to ensure your environment is working and to provide you with the actual libs to include.

Unknown

I will do that if the issue gets resolved.
Currently there is still no answer to the multiple definitions issue in the supplied librsslVACache.lib which appears to be a required library.

nick.zincone

@Gordon Hunn,

The librsslVACache.lib is not a required lib. Unless you are using a Watchlist cache, can you provide us the reference where you believe it is required? Many of the examples included in the examples area do not require this lib. Also, can you also provide us the results of the build for the WatchList example suggested for you to try (see below)? If you go through the quick start for ETA and follow the instructions to build the examples, this should help you move forward.

Unknown

@""nick.zincone.1

Please see my last post below. If I remove librsslVACache.lib then I get a toascii undefined symbol. However I cannot figure out what provides this.

1>libansi.lib(d_main.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol toascii referenced in function _ansi_pch

1>C:\src\Agora\trunk\outwell\VC11\x64\binr\agora_lib_UPA.x64.dll : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals

nick.zincone

@Gordon Hunn,

Yes, I did see your last post. I also provided you 3 things:

1. Unless your applications requires a watchlist cache, you don't need the librsslVACache.lib. You have not confirmed this yet.

2. I also provided you an example of the link line that shows all the required libs when you do need the librsslVACache.lib as part of your application. Did you try all of the libs I provided?

3. Go through the Quick Start ETA tutorial to build an example application that uses the librsslVACache.lib. Please confirm you are having trouble linking the example applications and then we can follow up with the development team to resolve this.

nick.zincone

Hi @Gordon Hunn,

Why are you linking in libansi.lib? Please go through the quick start guide. This will guide you through the build process to compile and link all example applications. You can look at the different project files which will show you all the libs that are required. If you find success in the examples, this will guide you to determine the exact libs you need to include in your own application.

@nick.zincone.1

I'm linking libansi because our application requires it. It has done since UPA7.x & to my knowledge Elektron still publishes pages!

I'm trying to *upgrade* from ETA 3.1.0, not build your examples for the first time.

So, please can you tell me which library i need to resolve the toascii external reference in libansi?

nick.zincone

Ok. Can you please provide me the list of all the libraries you used when you built your exsiting ETA 3.1.0 application? I'm assuming your application compiled and link fine under 3.1.0 but failed using the exact same libraries when using ETA 3.4.0.L1. I couldn't find a ANSI page example among the list of examples to confirm and will have to reach out to the development group to find more details.

thank you.

libs for 3.1.0 build are

Current libs in 3.4.0 build are (The librsslRDM.lib seems to no longer be available ...)

Hello @Gordon.Hunn,

Just a hunch.

In your ESDK13 build, do you observe folder:

esdk13\Elektron-SDK-BinaryPack\Cpp-C\Eta\Utils\Ansi ?

If you do not observe it in ESDK14 build?

Can you try copying it into

esdk14\Elektron-SDK-BinaryPack\Cpp-C\Eta\Utils

hope this helps

The libansi.lib in 1.4 came from

C:\src\Elektron-SDK-1.4.0.L1.win.rrg\Cpp-C\Eta\Libs\WIN_64_VS110 and was 144KB

I replaced it with the libansi from 1.2 (which is what I had to hand) - this was as you suggested in
C:\src\Elektron-SDK1.2.1.win.rrg\Elektron-SDK-BinaryPack\Cpp-C\Eta\Utils\Ansi\Libs\WIN_64_VS110

and is much bigger @ 517KB

This resolves the undefined reference - Good call

However, this means that the 1.4 package is incorrect. Please can you liase with Development to get this re-issued.

zoya faberov

Hello @Gordon.Hunn

Good to hear. Yes. @nick.zincone.1 is already in the process of raising the question with development, so at some point we may expect an update.
