dcmmkcrv fatal error LNK1146: no argument specified with option '/LIBPATH:'

[palei]

Hi,

I am trying to compile DCMTK unde Visual Studio 2003 .Net and get the following error:

dcmmkcrv fatal error LNK1146: no argument specified with option '/LIBPATH:'

dcmmkcrv is just one of the places (10 in all)

What have I missed?

Best regards

How did you create the project make files (.sln)? There are some notes on this in the INSTALL file of DCMTK 3.5.3.

I used CMake 2.0.5. And everything seemed to work fine. Got some initial errors saying I was missing some of the optional libraries but after building in CMake again I got these errors out. But I got these new ones.

I guess that the VS project file is incorrect. Could you please check whether there is any "/LIBPATH:" option with no argument in the .sln file.

Btw, did you remove the .dsw and .dsp files before starting CMake as suggested in the INSTALL file?

[palei]

Where do I check whether there is any "/LIBPATH:" option with no argument in the .sln file?

Yes I removed the .dsw and .dsp files.

In CMake I am leaving the executable and output properties open.

I suppose that the .sln files are stored in textual format. Therefore, you should be able to open them in a text editor/viewer.

Unfortunately, I have never used VS7. Testing has been done by a colleague (external DCMTK tester).

I am trying different approaches to make the build succeed. In the mean while:

Can I build the dcmtk library in VC++ 6.0 and then use it in a VC++ .Net app?

Hi, palei

I got the same problem with you . However, I have fixed it now .

I think it is a bug of MSVC++7.0.

FIX method:
First, Cut off the path length.
for example, change the source code path "D:\Program File\DCMTk-3.5.3" to "D:\a\", and change the support libraries path "D:\Program File\dcmtk-3.5.3-win32-i386-support\libpng-1.2.5" to "D:\b\png\"

Next, Use CMake program to configure and generate build files for DCMTK projects. You can set the Lib output path to put the lib files into one directory.

Finally, Open the MSVC solution file that CMake generated, and Build them. Take a cup of coffee, there will be no errors.
Enjoy it!

Hi, Jörg Riesmeier:

I wonder why you do not distribute the lib files and could I distribute them within the license?
