hi

(using msvc express c++ 2008 , xp sp2)

Thanks for the tutorial, being new to both msvc & chipmunk, i was not finding it easy
Following the tutorial here i can compile and run a project that doesnt do much other then execute
cpInitChipmunk(); and then just sits in a loop.

However during compile i get these compiler warnings, and wondered if i need to enable/disable
any further settings.

cpSpace.obj : warning LNK4217: locally defined symbol _free imported in function _cpSpaceInit
cpSpaceHash.obj : warning LNK4049: locally defined symbol _free imported
cpHashSet.obj : warning LNK4049: locally defined symbol _free imported

What didn't you find easy? MSVC & Chipmunk or the tutorial?

I didn't try much more myself, but I will soon try more stuff.

Strange. I don't get those warnings and I have the same environment as you and use all the default settings. But if everything works you can ignore them.
Where or How did you create your own Project?

I found that with the latest version of Chipmunk (Mid-Feburary 2008) I needed to use "MSVCSolution\Chipmunk4MSVC2k3\Release" in the Library file directory list rather than "Chipmunk4MSVC2k3". I don't know if this was my fault or not but it made it run

Excellent straight forward Tutorial btw.

I built both a static libarary and a DLL from the chipmunk source with Visual Studio '05. I can provide code & solution if there is any interest. I also built the ruby bindings without mingw or cygwin. I had to tweak the source code a little bit though. Nothing fancy but it seems there might be some interest.

Peace

@parasight,
Thanks... but have you also the static library project for me?
