Hi,
I have cryptopp 5.6.0 and in Unix i have it working. I have to port my code over to a 32bit windows box and am using vs2008. Is there a way I can get specific instructions on how to compile the cryptopp code to generate the lib file so i can then use it in vs2008?

when i simply ran it to generate the lib file i get
warnings like
c4081 expected newlone found
lnk4044 unrecognized option /lcryptopp ignored
A ton of lnk2005 errors
warning lnk4098 LIBCMTD conflicts with use of other libs. use /nodefaultlib library.
error: lnk1169 one more multiple defined symbols found.

i really need some step by step instructions on vs2008.

thanks


Update:
I was able to get it to work in vs2008. Just need to compile the program they provide in the cryptopp 5.6.0 in vs2008 and it generates a static library. then you have to make sure that YOUR solution is using multi threaded debug in the c/c++ code generation menu. also under the linker you need to add the lib file name and also in the .cpp file #pragma comment (lib,"cryptlib.lib");

this will make it work.

now the program compiles and links but i can't seem to execute it.
it keeps saying...ubale to start program "myprog.exe" the system cannot find the file specified"

can anyone help with that ? why does that happen and how do i make it point to the correct executable? (this is generated by vs2008. I am interested in people who are very familiar with this program and can tell me via configuration menu's etc what am i doing wrong...perhaps I have done something wrong in project creation or for example in the configuration properties there is an output directory in general tab. i am looking for something very particular.

thanks.
