cannot open file wxmsw30ud_html.lib

[bryanecca]

Hello, I am trying to compile the project "SimpleFingersSampleWX" in visual studio 2013, execute the commands and import the wxwidgets libraries, but I get a "can not open file wxmsw30ud_html.lib" error. Please help.

Hello bryanecca,

The error “LNK1104: cannot open file 'wxmsw30ud_html.lib'” could be thrown in several cases.
First is when this file does not exist. Open your wxWidgets installation path “lib\vc_x64_lib” folder and check if it exists. If not, then there could be something wrong wxWidgets installation and you need to recompile it.
Second case is if the different version of the wxWidgets is used (our samples uses by default 3.0.x version). Then you need go to Project Property->Configuration Properties->Linker->Input->Additional Dependencies and change wxmsw30u_html.lib;wxmsw30u_richtext.lib;wxmsw30u_core.lib;wxbase30u.lib names with the correct value of your wxWidgets version, i.e. wxWidgets 3.1 files should be wxmsw31u_html.lib.

Hello!

I"m trying to use FingerSampleWX but debugging und compiling gives me the following error (I think according to the problem in this thread):

1>c:wxwidgets-3.0.4includemsvcwxsetup.h(121): fatal error C1083: File (Include) can not be opened: "../../../lib/vc_lib/mswud/wx/setup.h": No such file or directory

And yes, this file does not exist.

I followed your steps in the developer"s guide according the wxWidgets Compilation.

I"m using Visual Studio Enterprise 2017, on a 64-bit Windows 7.

Could you please help?`

Thanks and nice greetings from Germany,
Tim.

Hello Tim,

Make sure that you have followed all the steps mentioned in "7.5 wxWidgets Compilation"(in our documentation).
Try including also "*\wxWidgets-3.0.2\include\msvc" directory in your project.

Hi MartynasV,

following all steps and including the msvc-directory now gives me another error according the wxmsw30ud_html.lib:

Hey,

checked this - this is not the problem. The lib\vc_x64_lib-folder exists and in it the 'wxmsw30ud_html.lib'. The Linker are correct, because I use the wxWidgets 3.0.4. Perhaps the mistake is somewhere earlier...

I write a short list what I've done:

First Try: 32-bit version
1. System: Windows 7 Professional Service Pack 1 64-bit
2. Installing Microsoft Visual Studio Enterprise 2017, downladed and installed your Biometric SDKs trials, downloaded the Windows ZIP of wxWidgets (Latest Stable Release: 3.0.4) and unpacked it to C:\.
3. Opened the FingersSampleWX Visual Studio Solution as Administrator.
4. Selected the FingersSampleWX Project and changed C/C++/Code Generation/Runtime library to Multi Threaded DLL (/MD).
5. Opened Visual Studio 2017 command prompt.
6. Went to C:\wxWidgets-3.0.4\build\msw.
7. Done nmake /A /f makefile.vc UNICODE=1 RUNTIME_LIBS=static DEBUG_INFO=0 CPPFLAGS=/MDd BUILD=debug.
8. Done nmake /A /f makefile.vc UNICODE=1 RUNTIME_LIBS=static DEBUG_INFO=0 CPPFLAGS=/MD BUILD=release.
9. Setup the include and library paths: C:\wxWidgets-3.0.4\include, C:\wxWidgets-3.0.4\include\msvc, C:\wxWidgets-3.0.4\lib\vc_lib

Result: error “LNK1104: cannot open file 'wxmsw30ud_html.lib'” (the file is there wxmsw30ud_html.lib 5,224MB large in C:\wxWidgets-3.0.4\lib\vc_lib)

Second Try: 64-bit version
1. System: Windows 7 Professional Service Pack 1 64-bit
2. Installing Microsoft Visual Studio Enterprise 2017, downladed and installed your Biometric SDKs trials, downloaded the Windows ZIP of wxWidgets (Latest Stable Release: 3.0.4) and unpacked it to C:\.
3. Opened the FingersSampleWX Visual Studio Solution as Administrator.
4. Opened Visual Studio 2017 command prompt.
5. Went to C:\wxWidgets-3.0.4\build\msw.
6. Done nmake /A /f makefile.vc UNICODE=1 TARGET_CPU=x64 RUNTIME_LIBS=static DEBUG_INFO=0 CPPFLAGS=/MDd BUILD=debug.
7. Done nmake /A /f makefile.vc UNICODE=1 TARGET_CPU=x64 RUNTIME_LIBS=static DEBUG_INFO=0 CPPFLAGS=/MD BUILD=release.
8. Setup the include and library paths: C:\wxWidgets-3.0.4\include, C:\wxWidgets-3.0.4\include\msvc, C:\wxWidgets-3.0.4\lib\vc_x64_lib\

Result: error “LNK1104: cannot open file 'wxmsw30ud_html.lib'” (the file is there wxmsw30ud_html.lib 5,225MB large in C:\wxWidgets-3.0.4\lib\vc_x64_lib)

Do you have any more idea where my problem is? I would realy use and buy the SDK for our company, but there must be the possibility for me to the change the sample-code and let it work.

Nice Greetings from Germany and (once more) thanks for your help!

Hello Tim,

Send issue description to support@neurotechnology.com .

[MartynasV]

“LNK1104: cannot open file 'wxmsw30ud_html.lib'”
The problem was:
Path pointing to .lib files directory(“wxwidgets\lib\vc_lib”) was specified in Project’s Properties window > VC++ Directories > in "Include Directories" field, while it has to be specified in “Library Directories” field. Specifying path in right place fixed the problem.

Other note:
In “C/C++” > “Code generation” > “Runtime Library” field don't change default value in our projects(it should be "/MDd"). More about these settings please read in wxwidgets documentation https://wiki.wxwidgets.org/Microsoft_Vi ... B%2B_Guide.
