Hi everybody,<div><br></div><div>These days I was puzzled by different kinds of errors when I tried to build paraview from open source code.</div><div><br></div><div>My machine is AMD64 and my OS is Windows 7 64bits.
</div><div><br></div><div>My IDE is Visual Studio 2010.</div><div><br></div><div>My CMake is 2.8.</div><div><br></div><div>I choose to build a 32bit version.</div><div><br></div><div>A kind of errors is as follows.</div>
<div><br></div><div><div>"Error<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre">        </span>31<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre">        </span>error LNK1120: 12 unresolved externals<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre">        </span>D:\LCSWorkSpace\ParaViewTest\ParaViewDev\bin\Release\Cosmo.dll<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre">        </span>Cosmo"</div>
</div><div><br></div><div>"Cosmo" is a project in ParaView.sln generated by CMake.</div><div>"D:\LCSWorkSpace\ParaViewTest\ParaViewDev" is my output directory of CMake (where ParaView.sln is).</div><div>
<br></div><div>I do not know what the 12 unresolved externals are. Moreover, there is another kind of errors such as follows.</div><div><br></div><div><div>"Error<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre">        </span>29<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre">        </span>error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _MPI_Recv referenced in function "public: void __thiscall Message::receive(int,int)" (?receive@Message@@QAEXHH@Z)<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre">        </span>D:\LCSWorkSpace\ParaViewTest\ParaViewDev\VTK\Utilities\Cosmo\Message.obj<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre">        </span>Cosmo"</div>
</div><div><br></div><div>Is it one of the 12 unresolved externals? What is the meaning of this error and how can I get rid of it?</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks!</div><div><br></div><div>I am very interested in whether there are people who have successfully built 32bit paraview using Visual Studio 2010 on 64bit machine.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Thanks again!</div><div><br></div><div>Best regards,</div><div>Mingcheng Chen</div><div>January 5th, 2012</div><div><br></div>
