I'm using following statements in my Ada code:-
with Win32;
with Win32.Winbase; use Win32.Winbase;
with Win32.Winnt; use Win32.Winnt;
But getting the errors:-
"file win32.ads not found"
"file win32-winbase.ads not found"
"file win32-winnt.ads not found"
Please suggest what's wrong!
You’re getting these errors because you haven’t installed the package that contains the missing files (or, perhaps, you’ve installed them somewhere the compiler can’t find them).
The Win32Ada package is on Github.
Or you might be able to find a prebuilt binary installer to match your compiler at AdaCore’s Community Edition site (if not immediately obvious, check out the More packages, platforms, versions and sources link at the bottom right).

I'm having difficulties trying to compile an opensource framework (EmulationStation) in VS2015 on Windows. I've never used any of the tools before, apart from Visual Studio - so please forgive me if these are some obvious mistakes.
The guide says i need to do like this:
Boost (you'll need to compile yourself or get the pre-compiled binaries)
Eigen3 (header-only library)
FreeImage
FreeType2 (you'll need to compile)
SDL2
cURL (you'll need to compile or get the pre-compiled DLL version)
(Remember to copy necessary .DLLs into the same folder as the executable: probably FreeImage.dll, freetype6.dll, SDL2.dll, libcurl.dll, and zlib1.dll. Exact list depends on if you built your libraries in "static" mode or not.)
CMake (this is used for generating the Visual Studio project)
(If you don't know how to use CMake, here are some hints: run cmake-gui and point it at your EmulationStation folder. Point the "build" directory somewhere - I use EmulationStation/build. Click configure, choose "Visual Studio [year] Project", fill in red fields as they appear and keep clicking Configure (you may need to check "Advanced"), then click Generate.)
This is how my CMake looks like (it says generating done)
I get alot of compilation errors in visual studio when trying to build though:
1) Cannot open include file: 'curl/curl.h': No such file or directory (compiling source file C:\Users\retropie\Documents\GitHub\EmulationStation\es-app\src\guis\GuiMetaDataEd.cpp) emulationstation C:\Users\retropie\Documents\GitHub\EmulationStation\es-core\src\HttpReq.h
Where do I get this header file from?
2) 'round': redefinition; different exception specifications (compiling source file C:\Users\retropie\Documents\GitHub\EmulationStation\es-app\src\guis\GuiMenu.cpp) emulationstation C:\Users\retropie\Documents\GitHub\EmulationStation\es-core\src\Util.h 18
I have a lot of these errors with round. Am I missing a reference to a library?
Another screendump of some of the errors from VS2015:
Hope someone can point me in the right direction.
I am currently in de same boat as you, trying to get ES building under MSVS2015.
I am also very green, so hopefully others chime in as well.
Regarding the 'round' errors, apparently the MS compiler has no knowledge of these. For this issue, and some others, the newer ES fork by Herdinger has fixed this.
As this is currently the most active ES branch out there, and has the explicit goal of consolidating at least some of the backlog of PRs from the original Aloshi git, I would suggest you use this one.
In issue #4, there is some more information on building in recent VS versions. There is also a link for the precompiled cURL libs, including the header.
Having gone that far, I am sad to say that I still do not have a succesfull build as of yet. Compiling is no problem, however linking gives me a LNK2005 error.
Hope this helps a bit. Let me know how you fare.
I am trying to build Quantlib using Boost Libraries.
I followed the instructions here: and also on the Quantlib website.
I downloaded and unzipped boost_1_57_0 into C:\program files
I then used the Visual Studio 2013 x64 Native prompt to go to the boost directory and ran
bootstrap.bat
and then
b2 --toolset=msvc --build-type=complete architecture=x86 address-model=64 stage
Then I opened Quantlib_vc12.sln in Visual Studio 2013.
Picked "Release" and "x64", opened "Quantlib" in Property Manager and set the VC++ Directories.
In the include directories I added C:\Programm Files\boost_1_57_0
In the Library Directories I added C:\Program Files\boost_1_57_0\stage\lib
Then I went to the Solution Explorer and right clicked and chose build.
I got one LNK1104 error.
LNK1104: cannot open file 'libboost_unit_test_framework-vc120-mt-1_57.lib
Please see attached screenshot:
I have no idea how to fix this and I would really appreciate some help. I had successfully installed this at work using an admin account but was not able to access Quantlib using my user account. I have since deleted and attempted installations atleast 15 times but it's not working. I am worried that all these attempts at installing may have messed something else up, like some registry (I have no idea how that works but I only know to be afraid). Please help! Thanks.
UPDATE: Still get the same error after adding BOOST_AUTO_LINK_NOMANGLE define to project.
UPDATE2: I am getting these messages on the screen while running b2 to build boost. Is this an error I need to fix?
This is exactly what I warned you about in another related question/answer. What's happening here is that the boost headers you are including in this quantlib are (through macros) detecting that you're using MSVC, detecting the version, then automatically linking the required DLL files to build quantlib using #pragma comment(lib....). So even though under Project Settings -> C/C++ -> Linker there are no external DLL's or Lib's specified, they're still being linked by these pragma statements.
So when these macros are detecting your compiler and so on, they're dynamically building a string name of what they think the required libraries would be named on your system. Remember when you built boost, you specified the -layout option. This the naming layout of your boost libraries. Well by default, that layout is something like this:
LIB_LIBRARY_NAME_COMPILER_VERSION_SingleOrMultiThreaded_BOOST_VERSION.LIB
Which in practice looks like this:
libboost_unit_test_framework-vc120-mt-1_57.lib
This is boost "mangling" the name of your library to be as descriptive as possible about how the libraries were build so that, just by glancing at the file name, you know. What we do with -layout=system is tell the boost build system NOT to mangle the names, but to name them according to what option we gave to "layout". Since we chose layout=system, boost is going to name our libraries like this:
LIB_LIBRARY_NAME.LIB
Which in practice will produce:
libboost_unit_test_framework.lib
So when we start using boost after doing this (with MSVC only does this happen), these dynamically generated linker statements don't give a rip about or know about what -layout option you built boost with. They will attempt to link in required libraries using the fully mangled naming format, which is why you get the error:
cannot open file 'libboost_unit_test_framework-vc120-mt-1_57.lib
.. because you don't have a file named that! That's the mangled name! You have a file named libboost_unit_test_framework.lib. See the difference! So, you need to tell these stupid macros to stop mangling the library names when auto-linking required libraries. You do that by adding the following preprocessor definition to your Quantlib project:
BOOST_AUTO_LINK_NOMANGLE
You add that in Project Settings -> C/C++ -> Preprocessor -> Preprocessor definitions.
If you'd rather avoid this headache and don't care about the long and (imo ugly) mangling that boost does to library names, you can build boost omitting the -layout option and it will default to this mangled naming convention, where you shouldn't get stuck on this error at all anymore. I personally put out the effort to keep nice short/clean library names but it's all about preference.
Edit
Since you have the same error after fixing the NO_MANGLE problem, then the only possible reason that you're getting this particular link error is that you do not have whatever file the linker is complaining about missing stored in any of the directories supplied to the linker.
Verify the folders/paths you provide to the linker and verify that the file the linker is looking for is in one of the directories that you're providing to the linker. You have to provide directories to the linker because you're telling the linker "you can look in all of these places for the libraries my project needs". If you specify none, it's got nowhere to look. :(
Example:
When I try to compile any type of program, this message appears in the compile log:
No binary directory provided in compiler set "MinGW GCC 4.7.2 32-bit Release". Aborted compilation.
This is the only message that comes up and it comes up instantly without any effort of compiling. I checked to see if it may have been an error when downloading, but that is not the case as I followed through the set-up properly. Also, there was no choice to download for a 32 or 64bit computer so if that is the problem how do I get one that supports my computer?
I downloaded the Dev C++ portable version from this link:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/orwelldevcpp/?source=typ_redirect
I really do not know what the issue is here so I would appreciate any help and hopefully to anyone else encountering this problem. I haven't found anyone with this same error though.
I encountered this problem before.
Here's how I solved it.
Go to:
Tools ->Compiler Options ->Directories ->Binaries
Then choose "MinGW64\bin" as your directory
Usually, it is located where you installed this software.
There was a similar question (here or on some related SE site), but I didn't find so I ask a new question (if you find it, send a link and vote to close this question if they are too similar).
I have finished installing WxWidgets (configure; make; make install), but while installing PgAdmin III 1.16 the make console doesn't recognize WxWidgets as installed. I found that absence of Unicode might be a problem in this case, but I have enabled the Unicode. What else should I do?
I have 32bit Windows XP and WxWidgets 2.9.4. Including PostgreSQL 9.1.3 went OK.
EDIT: I tried another way - through Visual Studio and Visual C++. I don't know if my problem is the same or just similar, but Visual Studio reports this error:
error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'wx/wxprec.h': No such file or directory
followed by 100 of other errors which seem to be conclusion of this one (mostly undefined types/functions with names beginning with "wx"). I added semicolons to the header (as was suggested here - fourth entry after "all replies"), but it didn't help. I also tried to add "include" and "lib" directories in WxWidgets to include path for every project, but no joy here.
Do anybody know how to solve it?
You need to point pgAdmin to wxWidgets installation under Windows. Its build instruction should explain how to do it but you must set up the include path (-I compiler option) and the libraries path (-L linker option) for it to compile and link properly.
Notice that for the include paths you must put the directory containing the wx/setup.h file generated during the build by configure first and the directory with all the rest of wx headers later.
Also, it probably goes without saying, but you must use the same compiler to build both wxWidgets and pgAdmin, so if you built wx using configure+make you can't use MSVC for pgAdmin.
I am having some trouble compiling a programm with gcc on windows which was initially developed with Visual Studio. So far I was able to resolve almost all problems like missing header files and such, but now I am stuck at one last thing: gcc fails to link to one of the third party libs my program uses (FlyCapture2.lib). It tells me that it does not find any of the functions/methods there. I already checked if the library is actually on the library path and that sort of things, but it still does not work.
I searched a bit around and learned that it might have something to do with the format of .libs created with the Microsoft compiler. Is there any way to convert such a lib to be compatible with gcc? Anything else I might have missed?
(I already found this similar question, but its solution won't work here)
