Hello,
I am new to Visual C++ with MS Visual Studio. I was trying to debug a program when I got the error:
stdafx.h(15) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'afxwin.h': No such file or directory
I have the MFC library and the files stdafx.h etc in my PC. So as I understand, I simply need to give the proper path in the Visual Studio. Can anyone pls. tell me how to do so.
Thanks,
Emma Good
You could probably just search your computer for afxwin.h and wherever it is that's the folder.
I had searched the computer to find the files but the C++ compiler is not able to read the same. I wanted to know how to include the same through the compiler (Visual Studio)Quote:

Then configure your project settings to include the folder as a location to search for header files. I do not remember the setting off hand, but if you poke around the configuration you should eventually find it. Note that you should specify the folder that contains afxwin.h, not the path to the file itself.
OK, I will try that.
Thanks,
Emma Good.
Hi,
I was able to solve the header file problem. But I am getting a few LNK errors. Any ideas pls:

The library should have come with some um, library files (e.g., with a .lib extension) that you need to have linked when you build your executable program. You need to find out what those library files are, then configure your project to link them.
OK.. will look into it... BTW was doing some googleing... do u suppose I need to use bufferoverflow*.lib as well...? I am on V studio 2008 SP1.
Thanks,
Emma Good.
Well... I checked the directory in which I received the source code etc. But it does not have any .lib files in it. Any other ideas pls.
Thanks,
Emma Good
Isn't there some kind of README or INSTALL.txt file that you can consult? Or maybe there is actually a pre-made Visual Studio solution file that you can experiment with.
Show us a list of your includes.Quote:

No. I mean your #include directives.Quote:

#include "resource.h"
#include <CSLScope.h> // most probably from plotlab setup; used for plotting the graphs of data
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <fstream.h>
#include <math.h>
#include <string.h>
Presently I am getting the error :
c:\program files\labpacks\visual c++\include\vclobjects.h(99) : error C3861: 'wcstombs_s': identifier not found
whereas the file vclobjects.h exists at the location.
Thanks,
