Compiling for 64-bit with VC++ 2008 Express

[Niall Saunders]

Hi Mike,

Welcome aboard - and thanks for your opening contributions.

I am running a version of Vista64 that has NEVER had any of the MS Studio or SDK stuff loaded, so it will be a 'ceam' install as far as testing the procedure is concerned. However, I just started a major (non-astronomy-related) electronics project yesterday so I don't know when I will now get round to things. A couple of weeks, maybe.

But I will be sure to document all the steps that I needed to perform, assuming that I can follow everyone's suggestions, and assuming that a whole load of voodoo isn't needed to get everything to work together during the process

Thanks all.

Cheers,

[NKV]

Hi Nikolay,

Those errors are telling you that your project file is missing the LCMS library. Just enable the "Use the LCMS library" option on the MakefileGenerator script and all will be fine. Also please read the following bug report and its workaround as it applies to you:

http://pixinsight.com/forum/index.php?topic=1900.0

Fortunately with the next version of PCL linking against the LCMS library will no longer be necessary, as all color management functions will be implemented in the core application.

Good luck with your first PCL development adventures!

Juan thanks. It works.
