Title: VS2010
Post by: David Raphael on 2011 July 23 10:18:18

Hi Juan -

I remember you mentioning that VS2010 is now supported - how do we migrate existing projects?

Thanks!
Dave

I went ahead and took a stab at migrating...

I'm getting this error:

Code: [Select]

1>PCL-pxi.lib(Dialog.obj) : error LNK2038: mismatch detected for '_ITERATOR_DEBUG_LEVEL': value '0' doesn't match value '2' in CameraData.obj

I'm actually getting that error for all of the *.obj

I'm guessing that the PCL-pxi.lib is built in release mode but my project is in debug mode.  Is there something obvious I need to do to?

My wife says I always like talking to myself...I guess she is right :-)

So here is the solution to my problem - the compiler needs this:
-D_ITERATOR_DEBUG_LEVEL=0

I haven't tried debugging...so I am not sure if this affects that...I think it is not related.

Hi Dave,

Migrating existing VC2008 projects should be automatically managed by VC2010. In theory you just have to open the old project with VS2010 and follow the proposed steps.

However I strongly recommend you recreate the entire project using the standard Makefile Generator script in PixInsight. This will rebuild your projects and makefiles for all supported platforms from scratch.

I have no idea what the _ITERATOR_DEBUG_LEVEL thing is; I haven't seen it before. I don't use any MS products at all except to build PixInsight and test it on Windows, which I only use for the same reason. Again, if you rebuild your projects with the Makefile Generator script this won't happen.

Hi Juan,

if you remember, this is the problem I wrote you about in a mail. It only happens with VS2010 and only compiling in Debug. It happens even with standard sample projects, including SandBox. As far as I was able to google it, it's problem of linking debug binaries agains PCL libraries, which are release. I was not able to find any solution for it, so I still do my PCL development in VS2008.

Zbynek,

My screenshot shows the fix, but here is a link to another - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5727815/how-to-set-iterator-debug-level-in-vs2010

I have now been compiling all my different modules in VS2010 without any issues. 

Best,
Dave

Hi Dave,

thanks for the link. Seems I should've spend little more time googling :).
