RE: [Openexr-devel] OpenEXR 1.2.2 and VS2005

[Patrick Bergeron]

Hi Drew (and everybody else): it goes along the lines of 'can't open file 
"half.h"'

When I upgraded Softimage XSI to VS 2005 (for x64 and later x86) I had plenty 
of errors like 'can't open file "stdafx.h"' but I only changed the include from 
<> to "" and that fixed most of it. It fixed OpenEXR too.

Since I've got you on the line, I'm having a fierce battle to build 1.2.1 (or 
1.2.2 for that matter) with VS 2005 for x64. I have one link error repeated in 
many OBJ files. Here's a sample:

ImfCRgbaFile.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: void 
__cdecl std::basic_string<char,struct std::char_traits<char>,class 
std::allocator<char> >::`copy constructor closure'(class 
std::basic_string<char,struct std::char_traits<char>,class std::allocator<char> 
> &)" (address@hidden@address@hidden@@address@hidden@2@@std@@QEAAXAEAV01@@Z)

(I have 29 of those to be exact).

I've tried the following:
- Build the OpenEXR DLL (no go)
- Build a static lib and link it with my project (no go).
- Manually put all necessary OpenEXR files in the project I want to link it 
with, and rebuild my project using the project's compile options (no go).

Regarless of what approach I take, the exact same error keep coming back. It's 
starting to drive me nuts. I already use STL in the project I want to use 
OpenEXR, so I don't think that's the problem.

Does anyone know what 'copy constructor closure' means?


Has this problem been reported before?

Cheers.
Patrick Bergeron.

Hi Patrick,

It's my understanding that it's not needed anymore now that we have
real DLLs with exports.  The IlmImdDll project only exposed the C API
for people using ancient versions of Visual C++.

What's the error message?
