Problem with building STEPcode

[rass...@student.liu.se]

So I have a problem with building STEPcode. I have configured and generated with Cmake without errors. What is the next step? I have opened the project in VS and built INSTALL for some reason.

I tried to run a test program to see if it was done but upon trying to include som header files I get errors, 4 unresolved externals. I think I got the pathing right with the libs and stuff. What am I missing

For me it worked as this:

- after cmake success, there's a SC.sln file in the build directory

- open in VS, build that, hopefully all projects compile

- for creating my own projects I just copied the necessary resulted lib files somewhere and added them to the projects, added include paths

- for some reason I had to add   sdaiApplication_instance.cc  and  Registry.cc  to the project, otherwise unresolved externals in linker happen

Thanks for your reply. Building SC.sln worked. The resulted lib files, are these the lib folder or are they spread out?
how do i know which one is necessary? the files you had to add to the project, sdaiApplication_instance.cc  and  Registry.cc, cannot be found in the build folder but they exist in the folder used for the build. Is this correct or did I mess something up?

First you should decide which AP you use (203, 214 etc.)

Choose the libs accordingly (libsdai_apXXX... )

They are in build\lib 

stepcore, steputils, stepdai, stepeditor, base libs are always necessary to add I think.

It was a trial and error procedure for me which libs to add... finally the linker ran OK.

Use the .cc files from wherever you find it, if it solves linking.

I guess you should try compiling the included ap203min sample project first, if that works maybe develop your project step-by-step.
