I am trying to port a very old legacy project, trying to get it to compile right now. Project is a mix of C/C++ and tcl. During linking stage in Visual Studio (2010) I get an error that linker was not able to find ttkstub.lib
Project relies on some version of tcl 8.5. I could not find any mention of ttkstub.lib anywhere online nor does it seem to come with any tcl distribution.
Linker seems to be expecting to find this library in Tcl installation folder in "lib/" directory.
Given that interwebs do not mention ttkstub.lib file, chances are it may be something custom, but thought I'd ask anyway.

I'm trying to compile the mysqlclient.lib library as a Multithreaded Debug DLL. I need it in this configuration to be able to link it to my project. To give some context I will explain what have I done so far:
I cloned the MySQL repository: git clone https://github.com/mysql/mysql-server.git
I created the MySQL.sln by running CMake.
I opened the solution in Visual Studio 2013 and built it with the Runtime Library setting equal to /MDd.
I have tried to link the thus compiled library mysqlclient.lib to my project(which is compiled with /MDd) but I'm still getting the error:
mysqlclient.lib(plugin_client.obj) : error LNK2038: mismatch detected for 'RuntimeLibrary': value 'MTd_StaticDebug' doesn't match value 'MDd_DynamicDebug' in main.obj
I have run dumpbin /all mysqlclient.lib | find /i "mvscr" obtaining as a result /DEFAULTLIB:MSVCRTD which suggests that the library has been compiled as /MDd.
I have to admit that before wanting to link mysqlclient.lib to my project I was not even aware of the Runtime Library setting. At this point I don't completely understand why I'm getting the linker error above, which is why I wrote in the title that I think that the library is still getting compiled as /MTd. If anyone could point me to the right direction in order to solve my problem it would be very much appreciated.
EDIT
Reading better the MySQL documentation I found out that if my project is built as /MDd or /MD I have to link it to the libmysql.dll dynamic library. Section Compiling MySQL Clients on Microsoft Windows, second to last paragraph.

I knew this day would come, so I guess it is here. (P.S. I am on windows XP).
I am trying to use this program here. I installed it fine, but it doesnt seem to work when I type in equations. So I went back to the site and it says I need JRE version 5.0 or above, (check). Then it also says I need dvipng, which I dont think I have.
So I went to the site it tells me to, (here), and I downloaded the most recent one, "dvipng-1.14.tar.gz". I unzipped it and I have it all sitting in one directory.
Ok... now what?
Im afraid I need guidance on exactly how to proceed here. The readme and installation instructions say to run "./configure", then "make", etc, I opened the command prompt and did all that but doesnt recognize. I have never had to build in this way, I always used an IDE for compiling C++ programs that I write myself. (Anyway, why am I even having to make an exe why dont they just make one and let us download that?)
Very confused as to what I need to do here, appreciate some step by step help.
Thank you
Even though Mohammad's problem was solved in the comments, I'll have a go at answering his question:
To run a build system that uses ./configure, you need something that can run shell scripts, as well as the usual suite of unix tools that the script expects, plus a compiler that behaves in the standard sort of way.
The two projects that I know of that do this are cygwin and MSYS. cygwin is aimed at creating a full POSIX environment on windows, while MSYS is an add-on to MinGW that aims to provide just the parts needed to run a ./configure script and build a program.
So I thought I would install Lazarus/Free pascal -latest version from the sourceforge website.
Downloaded the win32 version and install on my XP machine couple of nights ago.
Problem is, it can't seem to find any of its own files.
From the first and every subsequent run it comes up with an error which says it can't find its system.ppu file relating to win32.
I just ignore that error and it seems to still run.
I tried to make a simple calculator application and it couldn't even seem to find the system files or files in the project directory. After battling these problems and setting every single path I could find in all the setups to every directory I could find it eventually compiled and run the program - once, not been able to make it do it again.
I also tried to make a user component library following the instructions on the web and that won't work either because, you guessed it, it can't the files. This time it gives an error saying it can't find a Ttreeview component, despite not even using that component in the library.
Being able to follow search paths is pretty fundamental stuff that they don't seem to have mastered.
Anybody managed to get a working system going, or any tips to sort these problems out?
Did you install in the default directory c:\lazarus? I thought there was an issue with installing to another directory, especially if the path contains spaces.
Nine times out of ten, its the old config of an earlier Lazarus attempt, that still lingers somewhere in the "local app" part of the profile.
If nothing else helps uninstall Lazarus, download Lazarus CodeTyphon edition, and run install as admin.
I compiled MySQL++ with no issues. When I launched some of the executables (resetdb.exe and simple1.exe) they suggest to run to test if the installation has been successful, the first error I got was that libmysql.dll was missing.
Adding its path to the PATH environment variable did not fix the problem, even after launching a new command prompt; I had to copy the DLL in the directory where MySQL++ executables are.
Now the DLL is found, but I get this error:
simple1.exe - Application error
The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b).
Click OK to close the application.
even launching from the command line, I get no more information than these.
Thank you for any help!
MySQL 5.5 -
MySQL++ 3.0.9 -
Windows 7 64 bits -
MINGW32 -
GCC 4.4.0
0xC000007B is a Windows error that means the executable is corrupted. It could refer either to simple1.exe or to one of the DLLs it's linking against.
Some reasons this could happen:
You're mixing toolchains in an incompatible way. In your case, you may have built simple1.exe using pieces built by MinGW GCC and pieces built by Visual C++. MinGW should be compatible with any pure C DLL built by Visual C++, including the MySQL C API DLL. However, you may have other pieces interfering. MinGW isn't compatible with VC++ at the C++ level, but then, it shouldn't have linked at all if this were your problem.
You didn't follow the MySQL C API import library build steps in README-MinGW.txt. You either missed a step, or skipped it entirely and are trying to use the import library that shipped with MySQL.
In your previous gyrations, you ended up with a corrupt object file, which got linked in. Try saying make clean all at the top level of MySQL++ to force a complete rebuild.
You're mixing versions of MySQL or MySQL++. If you have more than one version of each on the system, make sure you're consistent in their use. That is, build the C API import library from the same DLL you run the programs against, use exrun.bat to run the examples to ensure you're using the just-built version of the MySQL++ DLL instead of another you have in your PATH, etc.
Additionally, I note that you're using an older version of MySQL++. If you were on Linux, I could understand that as some distributions still ship with 3.0.9. But since you have to build MySQL++ from source with MinGW, I don't see why you're not using 3.1.0. Did you get a binary build from somewhere?
As for your PATH problem, did you restart the MinGW shell after doing this? PATH updates don't affect running programs; they keep the value they saw when they started.
I'm getting this error while trying to run sample codes in CUDA SDK. I have CUDA 2.3 and Visual studio 2008
LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'cutil32D.lib'
Any pointers how to solve this?
Since you're compiling the SDK samples, the project files are probably correct. Far more likely is that you haven't built the cutil library. Go to the SDK install directory, then into the "C" directory. You'll see a "common" directory, in there open the cutil.sln solution (or cutil_vc90.sln for VS2008) and build it in release and debug modes for your platform.
Then try your sample again.
The cutil library is used to avoid replicating the same code through all the samples, if you're starting your own project I'd avoid reusing the cutil library and write your own checker. For example, you should probably fail gracefully if you detect a CUDA error rather than just calling exit() as done in cutil.
The cuda.rules file included in the SDK is highly recommended! Using this you can just add .cu files to any project and Visual Studio will know how to compile them and link them in to the final executable. Easy!
Your MSVC project needs to include the library cutil32D.lib to link. Once you specify it as a library the linker needs to include in the final binary artifact this problem will go away. It would seem the library is missing at the location the linker is going to look for it. You'll have to change the library search paths or move that file to a directory in which the linker is already looking.
I ran into the same issue. It turned out not only did I need to build the cutil project but also the shrUtils project under the SDK's shared folder.
