Can not link to dynamic hdf5 library on Visual Studio 2005

Hi,

I have trouble to link to dynamic hdf5 library on Visual Studio 2005. The
same error happens for hdf5 1.6.7 and 1.8.1. I am using the binary HDF5
library downloaded from hdfgroup web site. If I link my app with static
hdf5.lib, then it works fine.

Can somebody help me?

Thank you,

Grant

Grant,

Here are my project settings (.Net 2003, HDF 1.8.0, local build): 1) Under
"C/C++.Preprocessor", define HDF5CPP_USEDLL; 2) under
"Linker.General.Additional Library Directories" include the location of your
HDF5 import LIBs (.lib), e.g. "./hdf5/hdf5lib/release/dll"; and 3) under
"Linker.Input.Additional Dependencies" add hdf5dll.lib and hdf5_cppdll.lib"
for the C and C++ import libraries. Also, make sure that the location of
the DLLs (in this case "./hdf5/hdf5lib/release/dll" is in your PATH so the
EXE can load them at runtime.

I built the 1.8.0 libraries in-house on .Net 2003, so there may be some
differences. Also not sure of the pathname structure on the pre-built
installations. From the looks of things, though, you're just not finding
the import .lib files.

Robert Seip

For the debug version, it would be "./hdf5/hdf5lib/debug/dll" and
"hdf5ddll.lib and hdf5_cppddll.lib". Note the extra 'd'.

Robert:

Thanks for your reply. I am not using hdf5 cpp, I need to define
_HDF5USEDLL_ in the preprocessor which is suggestted by Scott. Apparently,
for dynamic HDF5 library linking, we need define extra definition.

Cheers,
Grant
