From: konokono on 6 Nov 2007 11:04 Hi all, I'm trying to build wxWidgets 2.8.6 with VS2005, but I get the following errors compiling the 'core' project: 1>Linking... 1> Creating library ..\..\lib\vc_dll\wxmsw28d_core.lib and object ...\..\lib\vc_dll\wxmsw28d_core.exp 1>app.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "protected: virtual class wxString __thiscall wxAppTraitsBase::GetAssertStackTrace(void)" (?GetAssertStackTrace(a)wxAppTraitsBase@@MAE?AVwxString@@XZ) referenced in function "public: virtual bool __thiscall wxApp::Yield(bool)" (?Yield(a)wxApp@@UAE_N_N@Z) 1>appcmn.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "protected: virtual class wxString __thiscall wxAppTraitsBase::GetAssertStackTrace(void)" (?GetAssertStackTrace(a)wxAppTraitsBase@@MAE?AVwxString@@XZ) 1>msgout.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "protected: virtual class wxString __thiscall wxAppTraitsBase::GetAssertStackTrace(void)" (?GetAssertStackTrace(a)wxAppTraitsBase@@MAE?AVwxString@@XZ) 1>rendcmn.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "protected: virtual class wxString __thiscall wxAppTraitsBase::GetAssertStackTrace(void)" (?GetAssertStackTrace(a)wxAppTraitsBase@@MAE?AVwxString@@XZ) 1>utilscmn.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "protected: virtual class wxString __thiscall wxAppTraitsBase::GetAssertStackTrace(void)" (?GetAssertStackTrace(a)wxAppTraitsBase@@MAE?AVwxString@@XZ) 1>..\..\lib\vc_dll\wxmsw28d_core_vc_custom.dll : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals I've tried to include appbase.cpp (where wxAppTraitsBase::GetAssertStackTrace is defined), but I get other errors. Does anyone know where is the problem?

Given that the problem is with calls to wxAssert, etc, which is only compiled in debug configuration, you'll probably find that you can build the release version sucessfully. Chances are you won't ever need to actually debug inside the wxWidgets library, so this may well be an acceptable workaround. To solve my problem, I can use the workaround suggested at http://onegazhang.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!D5E642BC862BA286!480.entry so you might want to see if this helps you. Cheers, Tom

From: untergasser on 21 Nov 2007 12:43 Thanks for the fast reply. I have a brand-new visual cpp express, a fresh of the installer wxwidgets 2.8.6 and ordered the batch install as recomendet. I didnt move or edit anything and I have no other wx installed. I thought the wxDevC++ made the problems and deinstalled it, but still I get this error messages (several, but this is a very typical one which makes the others redundant): Creating library ..\..\lib\vc_dll\wxmsw28ud_core.lib and object ..\.. \lib\vc_dll\wxmsw28ud_core.exp app.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "protected: virtual class wxString __thiscall wxAppTraitsBase::GetAssertStackTrace(void)" (?

> This function is supposed to be defined in appbase.cpp, can you please > check (using dumpbin) whether it's really there? yes, the function is there. I tried to compile the grid sample and I get the same error. Thanks again for the help, I am trying by myself already for a week... Best, Andreas |
