Build error

[Mike Parrish]

Hi all,
I wrote to the author, Rex Myers, of the CGridListCtrl and haven't heard
from him. I was hoping that someone might be able to help me with what
seems an easy, if annoying, problem.

I've downloaded and installed the MS Platform SDK and pointed the MS
VC++5.0 include and library paths to them in the appropriate project
settings locations. When I link with this setup, I get:

"c:\Program Files\MSPlatform SDK\bin\kernel32.lib: fatal error LNK1106:
invalid file or disk full: cannot seek to 0x35cd8916"

Looking at the error code and file given, it appears that too much is
being picked up from the MSPlatform SDK directory, so I tried to copy
just the two files (CommCtrl.h and ComCtl32.lib) to the default
directory (after backing up the original files) and removed the links
from the IDE. The compile bombs. Various, basic typedefs are not defined
such as DWORD_PTR, INT_PTR, etc.

I solved the second problem with the blown compile by adding the file
BaseTsd.h to my ...\VC\include directory adding the line:

#include <BaseTsd.h>

to my stdafx.h file and changing several IDE generated files from

#include <afx.h>

to

#include "stdafx.h"

Now the whole mess compiles, but another linker error is uncovered. Now
it looks like this:

C:\Program Files\DevStudio\VC\bin\comctl32.lib : fatal error LNK1106:
invalid file or disk full: cannot seek to 0x35c16b88

Looking up the error message leads me to believe that the two sets of
files (VC++ 5.0 and MSPlatform SDK) have some sort of incompatible
memory mapped file setup.

Additionally, I noticed that the new ComCtl32.lib is only 20K while the
old one is 116K. Is this right? Do I have a corrupted version?

Thanks again,
Mike Parrish

Hi Mike,

I have the exact same problem as yours. So far, I don't have any clue. My guess is same as you that VC++ 5.0 is incompatible with the latest SDK.
