RE2: gtkmm and libglademm under MSVC.NET

["Clyde Mallon" <Clyde firepro co za>]

Hi

Thanks for the response. I'm not using MSVC by choice!! I forced to for
now, because the current interfaces are all written in MSVC (long
story).  I was already using "Multithreaded Debug DLL". I enabled RTTI
in both the workspace that I used to build my library file and also my
test program, yet it seems to have made no difference. 

Could it be some sort of versioning problem?? I am using gtkmm2.2
because Frank Naumann supplied me with all the libraries for that
version, and libglade2.0.1. Is that compatible? It seemed to be when I
looked on the website...

Maybe there is some other trick I'm missing in building these lib files!


Thanks
Clyde

Try to select the "Multithreaded Debug DLL" as runtime library in your 
project C/C++ properties (Code generation). You should also enable RTTI.

You might also want to have a look at this bugzilla entry

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=158040

I don't think MSVC is a stable option for gtkmm right now...
