Build errors while setting up libtins on Windows. sys/time.h and other errors

[Adrian Costin]

Hello.

I have encountered problems while trying to use the library. I am using Visual Studio 2017, and have included all the directories needed and linked everything or so i think.

I am getting an errors upon building the default program you can find on the website to check if everything works properly.

Errors are as follows:

I will also provide my project include and library folders down below :

I do not know where this problem comes from, and I am leaving this here in hopes that someone can help me a bit.

Only possible thing i can think of is that the pcap.h file chooses unix. I do not know if this is true or not, but i would greatly appreciate some help.

Also, I do not know where to put the TINS_STATIC thing as directed on the step by step installation guide on the site, that may cause the problem too maybe..

I basically just took the precompiled library and includes, copied them to my project and then copied the winpcap developer pack libraries and includes too. I don't know why this does not work and is giving me build errors.

UPDATE ..

I got it to compile without errors by adding preprocessor definitions as follows:

 Afterwards I ran into other problems while running the example from the site:

Handling the exception by breaking gives an output as follows :

It seems to be missing some pdb files. I do not know why this is happening. Is it something about those .dll files ?

Also , when attempting to run the executable file this error pops up:

Any help or suggestions as of why this happens would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Adrian Costin, i used other config in visual studio 2015,

i seed you use the libtins.lib, this it the static config for libtins, but, are you compile libtins in your pc?.

in these case i proposed, at you try the next config, first, your package wpcad is the developer this ok, in my experience: the best sitie for unzip the develop wpcal is C: Disk,

your can intented a path with of next: C:\mylibraryc++\,

if you unzip ok, hands on.

create a project  with console app, in c++,https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/build/vscpp-step-1-create?view=vs-2019

• in yout visual studio,  you see same at:
• 
• clik rigth in the project, go to propierties:
• 
• in the window property,(the recent open window) go to "VC++ directories",and selected
  
• 
• in the opcions for "vc++ directories" selected "include", and you include path of C:\mylibraryc++\WpdPack_4_1_2\include
• 
• 
• and a posible result in my case it is:
• 
• in the "vc++ directories" selected, go to "library directories"  and repeat, but need change the folder, at the folder the Lib, see picture, in the red rectangle:
• 
• ok, were you have selected "vc++ directories", change the option to "linker" and go to "input" >> aditional depends and add wpcap.lib see picture
  
• 
• in this moment your app build, but generate two problems the first its the crono.h this a warning, in my develop,this it  no generate nothing problem, the second is the fault, lack, need,etc. of "WIN_32"prefix, in these case, you go to "propierties", and the window propierties go to  "C/C++" and "Procesor" >> "Preporcessor Definitions", add WIN32 see picture
• 
• Ok, in this moment your app build and compile, with alone warning of the crono.h, the next is build libtins, i explain the two forms for build. with visual and the cmake GUI and cmake cmd.

i hope this is most help you. i want wait for you response and go to the compile build libtins, happu day. :)
