DICOM @ OFFIS

Sure thing - glad to help. In essence, I've gone around in circles for over a week on this ( as visible by my questions below ), until one of the Microsoft C++ compiler authors helped me out by looking at the output and telling me exactly what was going wrong. I had assumed I couldn't be linking to ...

It seems that DCMTK was building the replacement class for std::string, and I also needed to add some other linker settings to make it work. None of this was covered in the FAQ, so I'm posting again just in case anyone else gets stuck. I've set the forum to let me know if anyone replies - given that...

I've had some people from the Microsoft compiler team looking at the output and they've told me that basically I am linking with two different versions of the STL. Well, it would appear that at least one problem is OFString. The top of the file looks like this: #ifndef HAVE_STD_STRING #include "...

I've been asking on the Microsoft forums, and the advice I've been given is that the functions that are causing errors should be inline and for some reason are not. I've found this line: #define C_INLINE __inline which seems to me to be as it should be, although I've found no code that uses this mac...

If so, I'd really appreciate some tips, because I've been trying for a week now.

Are you suggesting I build DCMTK into DLLs and link to them ? How do I do that ? FWIW, I am in the same boat I was a week ago - I have a VC6 project which builds with DCMTK, using /MD. I migrated to VC2005, and everything builds, but although I built DCMTK with VC2005, using /MD, when I try to link ...

Thanks for the replies. I took the time to force all my other code to build with /MT, and rebuilt DCMTK to use /MT as well. It seems to be linking now ( still have an unrelated linking error to solve, so I can't say for sure )

Thanks, but as I said, I have been building with /MD exclusively. I am not mixing release and debug libraries. I am in the process of trying to get my project to build with /MT, but somewhere, _AFXEXT or _AFXDLL is being defined, which causes an error in afx.h.

In addition, all projects use the same build type as the library files themselves. I really appreciate any help here, I've been working on this for almost a week, and I am going in circles.

In addition, I created a new MFC VC2005 project, set it up to link to DCMTK, and added only the base base code to create a DicomImage from an CFileDialog returned path, and got these errors: libcpmt.lib(locale0.obj) : error LNK2005: "private: static class std::locale::_Locimp * __cdecl std::loc...

Yes, I'm sure, by virtue of the fact that I compiled it I used CMake and got a VS2005 project that compiles perfectly, and I'm trying to link against it.

Thanks for your help.

Hi all. I've read the FAQ and tried to work through some of the solutions suggested here, but nothing seems to be working for me. I've been given the job of moving a project which already links in to DCMTK from VC6 to VC2005. I'm also using the C++ standard library in the code for the first time, bu...
