need a file: "nafxcw.lib"

[E-Male]

I'm trying to compile bsn.dll
after getting a whole lot of file, mostly headers (many from dspguru, thx) i'm down to this one: nafxcw.lib

if anyone has a working nafxcw.lib for c++/windows/pc or knows where to find it please reply

or do i need a whole pack with nafx*.* files?

thx in advance for any help

Update your Platform SDK, it's in there.

my platform sdk is up2date and the only nafxcw.lib in there (the only on my pc) doesn't work

post the exact errors you get

:logfile:

@E-Male: getting that error is normally a MFC ascociated error. Also you can get that when Visual Studio 6 makes a mistake and links libraries in the wrong order. As Neuron2 says post your log file, but also post your MFC settings (or at least the compiler switches)...

Oh, ok...I hadn't been following what your doing, I see that your trying to compile just with MS's free compiler tools...tricky.

The nafxcw.lib your using, as you've probably guessed, looks like it's the 64bit version (which is the same as the one I have in my platform SDK).

The one you want, probably is available only in Visual Studio. I have it, but I doubt MS want it distributing...

You might be a little stuck. Although there shouldn't be a need for nafxcw.lib, so there might be a way of not using it...

i have some old student version of visual studio / visual c++ lying around somewhere here
i hope i can find it and that the lib is not too outdated

if it doesn't work i gues i'm stuck before even changing one line of code in bsn.cpp
