[Cppunit-devel] Can Cppunit work with Visual Studio 2005?

[CppUnit d. m. l. <cpp...@li...>]

I tried recompiling our software containing Cppunit with Visual Studio
2005 and have very similar errors reported by Srivalli last month
(3/6/07) "Compiling Money Example on Visual Studio 2005" but
unfortunately, I don't see a helpful answer yet.

We have been using Cppunit 10.0.2 (from June 18, 2004) and Microsoft
Visual Studio .NET 2003.

I see the latest Cppunit version is 1.12.0 which was released June 30,
2006.

Can Cppunit 10.0.2 work with VS 2005?  Can Cppunit 1.12.0 work with VS
2005?  How do you resolve the following unresolved external symbols
reported by Srivali?

----------------------------------------------------
When I compile Money Example of CPPUnit 1.11.0 with Visual Studio 2005
Professional Edition, I am getting linker errors for files cppunitd.lib,
msvsprtd.lib as in:

error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "__declspec(dllimport) public:

----------------------------------------------------
I'll forward a partial extraction of what I am getting when I recompile
our software with VS 2005 after my name so you can see that similar
errors (LNK2005 and LNK2019) are involved:
Thanks,
