Problem with MIDL

[Anonymous]

I copied the Smiley sample from the ObjectARX SDK directory into a new folder. When I try to build it, I get an error:

3>.\SmileyDbCom.idl(56) : error MIDL2011 : unresolved type declaration : IAcadEntity [ Interface 'ISmileyEntity' ]

Higher up in the compiling process, I see this warning:
3>.\SmileyDbCom.idl(38) : warning MIDL2015 : failed to load tlb in importlib: : axdb17enu.tlb

Which makes me think that it can't find axdb17enu.tlb.

FWIW, I have set "Additional Include Directories" and "Additional Library Directories" in the project properties to the correct path, but I'm not sure what to do for the tlb.

I'm using VS 2005 and ObjectARX 2007.

Thanks for any suggestions.

That should be at MIDL -> General -> Additional Include Directories. 🙂

Hmmm...
For some reason MIDL isn't listed under Project->Properties. I got "C/C++", "Linker", "Build Events", etc. But no "MIDL".
