    Re: LNK errors

    Code:
    dxl_initialize
    ...
    dxl_initialize@8
    Looks like it's the 'infamous' c++ name mangling issue.

    Try changing the extension of your source program from .cpp to .c and see if then compiles and links.

    Re: LNK errors

    Can you provide a link from where I can download the dynamixel library so I can have a look at it.

    Re: LNK errors

    Sure, thank you for your help.

    Here is the link - http://support.robotis.com/en/softwa...xl_windows.htm

    You may scroll down and find the Visual C++ where there is info about the settings to be made and some examples.

    Re: LNK errors

    I don't have VS2005 installed but I tried it with VS2012 and your test program compiles and links OK for me with no errors using the .h and .lib files from the provided site. I can only think that it must be a configuration parameter for your VS that is causing the problem.

    I put the dynamixel files dynamixel.dll, dynamixel.lib and dynamixel.h in the folder c:\develop\dynamixel. In the link section of VS configuration under general settings I set Additional Library Directories to c:\develop\dynamixel. I made no other changes to the default settings for the linker section and it linked OK. To get it to compile in the c/c++ configuration section I set Additional Include Directories to c:\develop\dynamixel and under Configuration Properties General I set Character Set to Multi-Byte Character Set.

    May I suggest that you start a new project from scratch, and just change the configuration settings mentioned above - changing the directory names to where your files are located.

    No. I've tried it using VS2012 under Windows 8.1 and the program compiles and links OK with no problems.

    Re: LNK errors

    Hum. Using your attached files I get the same error! However, replacing your dynamixel files with the ones I downloaded work OK and your test program compiles/links with no problems. So there seems to be a problem with the files you downloaded. I have attached a zip of the dynamixel files that compile/link OK for me (32 bit version).

    Re: LNK errors

    The dynamixel files you downloaded are the x64 (64 bit) versions but you are trying to generate x86 (32 bit) code. That is why you are getting the link error. If you set the configuration options for VS to generate x64 code then the dynamixel files you have compile and link OK. If you set VS configuration options for x86 code (as yu have) then you should use the x86 version of dynamixel (the zipped version in my post #26).

    The version of the SDK you use is related to the platform for which you are compiling (x64 or x86) and not the platform of the computer on which you have VS installed.

    Re: LNK errors

    It is still not able to debug and create a file for me. Could you please send me your project file that worked for you.

    It gives me the following error :

    'ConsoleApplication2.exe' (Win32): Loaded 'C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ntdll.dll'. Cannot find or open the PDB file.
