arxheaders.h

[cadproman]

I discovered that if I include arxheaders.h, then all of the headers included in the SDK are included. However, when I try to compile, I get the following error (among others):

c:\objectarx 2008\inc\AcValue.h(91) : error C4430: missing type specifier - int assumed. Note: C++ does not support default-int

pointing to line 91 in the AcValue.h file:

static bool           isValidDataType           (const VARIANT& var);

I would really like to be able to include all of the header files until I am more familiar with which ones I really need. When I build an empty project with the ObjectARX Wizard, it uses the include statement and the project compiles. What needs to be done to correct this in a project NOT built with the wizard in order to get it to compile?

I'm using VS 2005 and AutoCAD 2008

TIA,

Ralph

Try adding these:

axdb.lib

acad.lib

acedapi.lib

acui17.lib

adui17.lib

acdb17.lib

acge17.lib

as additional depenancies in project properties/Linker//Input

Thanks for replying. I tried adding the additional lib files, but I am still getting the errors when I try to use only the arxheaders.h file. Lots of unknown identifier and undeclared stuff. In addition to the missing type specifier - int assumed in line 91 of the acvalue.h file, I also get the following:

Did you ever get this resolved?

[Nick1983]

I hope your VS2005 has SP1?

Did you add arx include and library folders to VS (Tools / Options / Projects and Solutions / VC++ Directories) or to your project?

I'll start a new thread...similar problem, but different environment.
