Chipmunk.def for 6.0.3 and VisualStudio 2010/09

Oh, shoot. I forgot to check if the MSVC project was up to date before releasing that. :-\

[roflha]

I am not sure why, but this .def file is not working for me on the vc2010 project file.

When I try to compile in either of the DLL builds, I receive a bunch of lines like
1>chipmunk.def : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _cpArbiterGetBodies

All I did was created a file named chipmunk.def and put it in the Chipmunk-6.0.3\msvc\vc10\chipmunk folder. I then tried to build it with vs2010 and, well, I already said that part.

Any advice?

Of course you have to define the CHIPMUNK_FFI preprocessor flag: add it to the preprocesser section on VS2010

[roflha]

Ah thank you, didn't know I had to do that.
Edit: Similar question, I can compile the library now, but the demo will not compile for me. I added the same preprocessor definition into the demo project as I did the chipmunk project, but now I am getting
"2>Bench.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _cpSpaceNew"

I also tried adding the chipmunk.lib as an additional linker dependency but that failed too.

Compile Chipmunk and Demo as static lib anf you will get the demo.exe

Similar problem with MS Visual Studio 2005 Prof and MS Visual Studio 2008 Express. DLL doesn't link with infinite unresolved externals.

If I create as suggested as a library then the demo has some unresolved externals

It looks like you aren't linking the demo modules maybe? Make sure all the other source files in the Demo/ directory are being linked.

[chrisanderman]

I had the same problem, and as it turns out the solution is simple. Slice.c is missing from the msvc 2010 project file. Oops! Someone must have forgot to add it.

To fix this just go to demo->Source Files. Right click Source Files and click Add->Existing Item. In the browser navigate up one folder, then go into the Demo folder and double-click on Slice.c.

It should build fine now. I'm going to submit this as a bug unless it has already been reported.
