I would not run the download.com binary package.

Am new here… When I try to compile vsap.sln, I get a linking error

vscap fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file ‘.\Release\cximage.lib’

Can someone help me out ?? I compiled files on tags/camstudio 2.5b1

Files in the tags folder cannot be opened in VS2003. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

After reading this post, I have tried compiling the source code as said above by few users. I am still facing problems compiling the source code.
The errors are related to the header files not found. Tried giving paths of the folders containing the header files. It results in more newer header files missing finally ending to system files.

I am using VS 2005 professional edition. I request anyone successfully compiled the source code 2.6 to lend a helping hand.

Thanks for that note – I’ve forwarded it to the programmers.

Cheers

I have just finished downloading the source files from the svn and when I tried to compile the solution on vs2008 I got the following error:

error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp__timeGetTime@0 referenced in function “long __stdcall hookproc(unsigned int,unsigned int,long)” (?hookproc@@YGJIIJ@Z)

on hook.obj. Adding “Winmm.lib” to “Project Properties > Linker > Input > Additional Dependencies” on the hook project solved my problem since it is required for “mmsystem.h”. I am just mentioning it in case someone else comes up with the same problem.

Cheers,

I’ve just recently installed the TortoiseSVN and have been doing some refactoring work with trunk version locally. I have to work out the SVN system to get things checked in but I don’t want to make difficulties for others. If any SNV gurus could contact me so I can get a leg up there, I’d appreciate it.

So far I’ve gotten the basic program running on Vista and I’m currently working on tightening up the code layout, refactoring functions and variables into namespaces in preparation for new classes, cleaning up the headers, and then getting the image libraries up to speed.

A few build notes: (Vistual Studio Team 2008)

- I think the CxImage static library in the solution is incomplete and you should get unresolved externals for all the image files types. A temp fix I used is to:
- remove the dependecies for vscap project and leave just hook dll as a dependent.
- in VscapView.cpp comment out the header #include “cxImage\CxImage\ximage.h”
- stub out InsertImage with compile time conditionals to disable the reamining image library code:

void InsertImage(HDC hdc, RECT& brect, ImageAttributes& imageattributes)
{
#if defined(__CXIMAGE_H)
#endif
}

This will disable watermarks until the library gets fixed.

- Turn project warnings levels to 4. Produces lots of stuff that needs fixing

- The undefined variable errors for ‘i’, etc. come from the new for statement scoping. Simply define the “int” variable for all the statements.

- As far as I know, the project settings for the “Common Properties – Framework and References – Adding the Reference” is only for NET Framework projects and this is a MFC project. So the dependencies between projects is what you have to set. I think the image libraries (all of them) have to been added as dependents of CxImage.

If not is this not a violation of the GPL license? Or is there a special arrangement of some kind? Maybe double licensing?

Can it be compiled with GNU tools?

New to the product and have a problem with key assignments which I cannot find any mention of in the configs or options. I am running a 5250 emulator which I need to capture, as part of the application I need to press F8 or F9 to accept an agreement but they are inactive anytime I run the recorder? Anyone got any ideas?

I see a lot of mention on websites of the error “error recording avi file”. I also see in the code that this was originally hardcoded and later replaced with constant IDS_STRING_ERRAVIDEFAULT. The error is displayed for any condition where an avi operation failed. I’m finding it occurs all the time whenever using DivX. Having previously used cs2.1 I just started using v2.6. And with some minor success from default codecs on my system I decided to try DivX v6.8.4.

So is this a v2.5-2.6 issue? Something system-specific? General DivX issue? Config issue? I’m wondering where output_avi_path is set to and if the problem is with DivX trying to write somewhere invalid. I think at some point the code should display the real error that occurred, rather than this generic catch-all err.

Just registered on the forum too – looking forward to exchanging notes there. I’m not a C guy but I am a developer, can read code (as you see) and may be able to contribute in some minor way.

Thanks for all of your work on this fine offering.
