RE: Using gtkmm with Visual Studio 2008 Express Edition

[Bertrand Grottier <b_grottier hotmail com>]

Hello again,

For those who may encounter the same problem, somebody provided me with the solution.

First, you will have to download the three following dlls:
- msvcm80d.dll,
- msvcp80d.dll,
- msvcr80d.dll.

Then, you will have to create a file named Microsoft.VC80.DebugCRT.manifest containing:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<!-- Copyright © 1981-2001 Microsoft Corporation -->
<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0">
    <noInheritable/>
    <assemblyIdentity
        type="win32"
        name="Microsoft.VC80.DebugCRT"
        version="8.0.50608.0"
        processorArchitecture="x86"
        publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b"
    />
    <file name="msvcr80d.dll"/>
    <file name="msvcp80d.dll"/>
    <file name="msvcm80d.dll"/>
</assembly>

Finally, copy these four files in the ...\GTK\bin directory. You should be able to use gtkmm in debug mode with Visual Studio 2008.

Best regards,

Benoît

Hello,

I am quoting a previous mail from Zdravko Monov :
"I decided to try the cross-platform compatibility of Gtkmm...
I followed your guide for MVC++, except that I have the 2008 version. I tried the hello-world application, which compiles fine. However, trying to run it in debug mode issues:

gtkmm_test.exe - Application Error

The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0150002). Click OK to terminate the application."

I encountered exactly the same problem. I installed and run Dependency walker (www.dependencywalker.com). I learnt that in the debug version, gtkmm uses dlls coming with Visual Studio 2005 (MSVCP80D.DLL, MSVCR80D.DLL, ...). I tried to install these dlls but eventually failed to solve the problem.

My questions are the followings:
1) Is it possible to avoid these problems without coming back to Visual Studio 2005 ? I think so since the release version works fine, but how ?
2) Is a package for Visual Studio 2008 planned in a close future ?

Thanks in advance,
Best regards,

Benoît
