Solution 1

You should make Visual Studio know where it can found such a file.
Click on the Project Properties menu item then select the configuration Properties -> VC++ Directories node and add the library folder path to the Library Directories line.

ıf i add strmabsd.lib into C:\Windows SDK\... and link path in visual studio, the project give 19 linker errors. İ have learned that strmabasd.lib is cretaed while debugging by strmbas.lib.
Note: I linked strmbase.lib in visual studio

Solution 3

i seem to recall you have to build your own strmbase libraries for release and debug

how to[^]

I use visual studio 2010.
Same as i mentioned above, if i add strmbasd.lib to lib folders it gives more linker errors.

barneyman 18-Sep-14 3:30am

what errors are you getting? Did you compile the libs yourself?

denegabze 18-Sep-14 3:48am

Errors:
1- error LNK1120: 10 unresolved externals

2- error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "void __cdecl DbgLogInfo(unsigned long,unsigned long,wchar_t const *,...)" (?DbgLogInfo@@YAXKKPB_WZZ)

and goes on like this.

I did just compiling visual studio and i dont know how to compile libs myself

barneyman 18-Sep-14 4:05am

if you haven't compiled the directShow samples yourself (and generated strmbasd.lib) and you haven't been given it, then you don't have it - it's not part of the Visual Studio/CRT distribution

Creating it is simple - there's a guide here http://blogs.msdn.com/b/karinm/archive/2008/04/25/how-to-in-search-of-strmbase-lib.aspx as well as above

The baseclass samples are installed as part of the SDK, on my install, they're at

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\Samples\multimedia\directshow\baseclasses

There's a project and a solution there - open it - build it (strmbasd is the DEBUG build) - then you'll have strmbasd - copy that into your source tree, or reference the directory in the linker directory

strmbase is the release version, which you can also build, and you'll need that when you build your release version

I run the baseclasses from command prompt and it gave an error.I reisntalled WindowsSDK adn the error in continuing.

Error is:
error MSB3428 :"VCBuild.exe" Visual C++ component could not be loaded.
Note: I translated the error message since it had written in my national language.

barneyman 18-Sep-14 5:02am

open the PRJ or SLN with the IDE then ...

you have to open a Visual Studio command prompt if you want to build from the command line - the tools aren't added to the normal CMD PATH variable

denegabze 18-Sep-14 5:12am

ı run the basclasses.sln on visual studio interface and it again gave error
Unable to start program 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\Samples\multimedia\directshow\baseclasses\Debug\BaseClasses.lib'

system can not find the determined file

Thanks

barneyman 18-Sep-14 5:13am

you don't need to run it, just build it - it's a library - it sounds like it's built successfully - check the /debug directory ..

denegabze 18-Sep-14 5:19am

Thanks a lot barneyman. In Debug folder strmabasd.lib was already created

denegabze 18-Sep-14 5:28am

It give the same error that mentioned 1 hours ago

barneyman 18-Sep-14 5:36am

i always explicitly add the strmbasd.lib file to the source tree (file/add existing file)

make sure you're building for the same chip (x86 or x64)

denegabze 18-Sep-14 5:29am

I got the strmabasd.lib and locate in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\Lib and linked to visual studio

denegabze 18-Sep-14 5:52am

I check the building chip, it is all ok. ı added the lib file as cpp files to 'Source Files' and at that time Ws2_32.lib is not opened.
If it is possible could you please connect me with teamviewer and show me how you did the steps

barneyman 18-Sep-14 6:03am

no - sorry

it sounds like you have library path issues - you should resolve those now

denegabze 18-Sep-14 6:59am

thanks a lot for help i will continue stduying on the error
