Sample compile on Windows VC7.1 link error
I'm trying to get xerces started under Visual C++ 7.1 and get a small
sample working.
I've downloaded both the source and the samples and they compile and
run no problem.
I then copy the folder for one of the samples (CreateDomDocument) and
place it elsewhere, outside the xerces folder so that I can get the
environment settings right, but I can't get it to compile. It fails
at linking with 5 unresolved external symbols (4
xercesc_2_7::XMLString and one xercesc_2_7::XMLException).
I have copied the 4 lib files (xerces-???.dll) both into the Visual
Studio bin directory and into the new CreateDomDocument folder next
to the source files.
Under Tool > Options > Projects > VC++ Directories I have set the
directory options for Include files and Library to point into the
original xerces source downloads, to \src and \lib respectively.
Since I am using the sample's original solution (.sln) file, I've
changed nothing in there.
The Building on Windows instructions on the xerces-c website give no
other clues. Can someone please advise what I'm missing?

Thanks Alberto, now it works.
In project Properties > C/C++ > Language I had 'Treat wchar_t as
Built-in Type' set to Yes and it should be No.
Once I had set this, it ripped up over the first include file
(xercesc/util/PlatformUtils.hpp) so I also needed to set the Include
Directory under Tools > Options > Projects > VC++ Directories to
{main location}\xerces-c-src_2_7_0\src.
BTW, looking through some of the other samples, I see that they have
'Disable Language Extensions' set to Yes whereas it should be No.
Hope this explanation also helps someone at some stage.
Thank you for all your work on this Alberto.

Uhm, so you are getting *only* 5 unresolved externals even if you use
more Xerces functions? Have you checked that the "use wchar_t as a
built-in type" has the same value in both Xerces project and your project?

I copied the 2 debug dlls into the Debug folder of the new
CreateDomDocument folder. I still get the link error.

Then I changed the lib directory to the longer debug directory as
described above. I still get the error.
If I remove both of the above (the copied dlls and the lib directory
pointers) then I get:
cannot open file 'xerces-c_2D.lib'
and then if I put the lib directory back into the Tools > Options,
I'm back to the 5 Link errors, so presumably that file is being found.

I would rather copy the Xerces .dll in the directory where the sample
.exe will be placed; the Visual Studio bin directory is not
guaranteed to be in the PATH.

If you built Xerces from sources, the proper lib directory are
builds\win32\vc7.1\debug and builds\win32\vc7.1\release
