Microzoft Visual Studio question.....any programmers here? - GoFuckYourself.com

Lane · 05-11-2002, 10:31 AM

i've always developed code for unix and i'm fairly new to this shit

first question:

when i install visual studio, IE starts giving me a message alert with a sound for every single javascript error on web pages while i am surfing.. it's pretty annoying.. it keeps on asking me if i want to debug it or not.. i cant figure out how to turn that shit off..

second question:

this is on visual c++
for example i code some OpenGL stuff and i needed to download and add the libraries to visual studio library folders. then i also had to put a dll file into my system folder so the executable could work.. windows doesnt have the OpenGL dll file by default.. so if i send the executable to someone else, he needs to get it too..
how do i make it so that it isnt dynamically linked and works by itself without the dll file? i heard there is a compile option for that but couldnt find it..

any help apreciated

its called "dynamic debugging" or so... but something with 'debug' for sure, just turn it off and the errors are gone.

cool thanks a lot

can someone answer my second question too?

Nope, I ran into the same thing. I have been screwing around with an OpenGL Winamp visualization for a long time and have the same problem. There's got the be an easy solution, but I am a Perl programmer by nature. This visual environment screws with my head.

There is an option for static linking, but I haven't looked at vs for a long time. It's wherever compiler options are.. there's a 3 or 4 page "booklet" dialog with compiler options including debug level and compiler/linker options.

You'll need the static versions of the libraries and the object files for the linker. The same with *nix: you'd need the lib.o (object file) not the lib.a/lib.so (shared module). A dll is not compiled for static linking, it is by definition compiled to be dynamically linked in at run time. I don't know much about opengl (never took it much further than writting a 3D tetris game

) except that normally the video hardware manufacturers distribute opengl drivers as some video cards support more opengl stuff than others (on board textures, extended primitives, lighting effects, etc)... I wouldn't know if you could find opengl object files for static linking.

cheers

Go download the M$ DirectX8.1 SDK - lots of fun to be had with Direct3D and OPenGL
