Compile error atlapp.h can not be found

Hello everyone,


I am compiling the client part program of COM reentrancy problem. Does anyone know what is the problem?

(BTW: server part program can compile, link and register ok.)

I am using MSVC 2008 + x64 Windows Server 2003. Is it because the code is old and in the newest SDK we need some code change to migrate?

1>d:\exercises\stareentr\stareentr\client\client.c pp(4) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open precompiled header file: '.\Debug/client.pch': No such file or directory


thanks in advance,
George

When will you remember that COM and ATL are Win32-specific things?

Sorry, I should post it to Windows Programming forum. :-)

I can fix this one quickly. Turn off precompiled headers. Thankfully we do not use these at work. They cause a lot of issues.

Usually when VS installs it also installs ATL which means it also 'knows' where to find the ATL headers and libs. AFAIK you do not have to specify in project properties where these are. The same holds true for Win32 API. Not sure why it cannot find this. Perhaps an install problem or perhaps you did not tell the installer to install it. I don't think it's normally installed with a standard install so you may need to put the 2008 CD in and attempt to reinstall it.

Thanks Bubba,


I have found the "Precompiled Headers" from project properties. There is an item called "Precompiled Header File". Do you mean make it empty?

What is the function of Precompiled header file?

They reduce compilation time.

But I think the fix is to make sure you see #include "stdafx.h" at the top of your cpp files.

Thanks Bubba,


I have got almost all of your ideas. Since precompiled header does not direct relates to my question. I will start another thread to discuss.

It is appreciated if you could help and we continue to discuss there. URL,
