C++ msvcr120d.dll missing

[nitekram]

OK...still just trying to work on this >DLL (that I did not write to begin with, but adding features and fixing some bugs).

When I came to work, I thought I might be able to do some work on the GUI part, but after my script runs I get this error msvcr120d.dll missing, and then my program crashes with the error "Subscript used with non-Array variable.", yet this code works find on my computer that has the IDE installed

I guess my question would be, how do I make sure that when I build my solution in Visual Studios 2013 express, meaning I get my DLL created, how do I add the files needed for the application to work outside of the computer that has the Visual Studios installed? Is there some type of include file, that I can make sure these get brought over with my DLL. What would the command look like?

Thanks in advance

EDIT,

And now I read this, Debug version of C runtime. No redistribution allowed, for the DLL in question, so I must be missing a step? How do you design an application/dll, if Microsoft does not allow you to redistribute some dll. Or is there something else I am missing, sorry noob here

You need to adjust compiler to use proper runtime libs during code generation. My guess is that you left default (dev environment) settings, being /MD for release config.

So go to project properties and in C/C++ click Code Generation and then choose Multi-threaded (/MT) for Runtime Library.

Yes, just left everything alone - except adding the include directory and added ">Multi-Byte Character Set" 

Will try your suggestion when I get home - thanks so much. So wishing that I stuck with C++, as when I found AutoIt - I told myself "this is the only programming language I need to learn - cause it is that good!" 

Is there a dummies book or website, that might explain the setups for the IDE, as this would be twice that code would not work, because the IDE needed to be configured - the right way, and being a noob, I have no clue.

I have never used multi-byte char set.

If I were you I would stick to unicode and learn to use wide-character versions of functions. There is no real function called MessageBox, did you know that? The function is MessageBoxW or MessageBoxA.

::MessageBoxW(nullptr, L"Some Text", L"Super Duper Title", MB_SYSTEMMODAL);
::MessageBoxA(nullptr, "Some Text", "Super Duper Title", MB_SYSTEMMODAL);

::MessageBox(nullptr, _T("Some Text"), _T("Super Duper Title"), MB_SYSTEMMODAL);

When character set is set to multi-byte, MessageBox macro calls MessageBoxA, and when it's set to unicode, MessageBox macro calls MessageBoxW.

So if you know what you are doing, setting the character set to any of them is just OK.

::MessageBoxA(nullptr, "Some Text", "Super Duper Title", MB_SYSTEMMODAL);

::MessageBox(nullptr, _T("Some Text"), _T("Super Duper Title"), MB_SYSTEMMODAL);

 

I did see those two mentioned...did not know that the one I was calling was a Macro though. I do believe I tried at least once or twice on both, but as stated in the other post...I kept getting error messages. After 4 hours of trying, I left it until yesterday, when I posted here.

I tried doing a search for both of those messageboxw and messageboxa but could not locate the exact word, as per search? But I do remember seeing them in my 4 hour grind to make a message box show a variable. I about have no hair, as it was all pulled out on Friday.

I do not mine learning, and those 4 hours were full of learning - lol

I cannot wait to get home and see if I can find that setting, but will have to wait until Monday to test it and see if I do not get any errors.

Thanks again for your all's time!!!

If there were any difficulty finding the Runtime Library, here you go:

[nitekram]

Kool...will get a chance later tonight to get that optioned checked.

Now, without me looking like I want everything, is there any other configurations that I will have to do, in order for me to create normal windows application, that will run on XP and up? I almost wish there was a wizard - even though I hate those things. Or maybe there is a website that can be used for configuration options.

And I thank you again for your time...

EDIT

changed some spelling

ok, tried it, but got more then I expected. Before I added that change, I could build the DLL, but after got about 30 errors? Any clue if this is going to be a simple fix?

more information, I uninstalled this (Visual Studios Express Desktop 2013) once before and with this install, I did not manually add the include folder? Just saying this again, cause I do find it strange, that the batch file ( vsvars32.bat under tools folder ) makes no changes to my computer path.

edit, maybe has to do with installing SDK? which i do not believe I have, just the express, does this need to be installe?

I wonder if using this dll is as good as simply writing the code yourself. Does the dll accept short algebraic (chess) notation SAN input or does it rely on some obscure binary, or what? I'm not saying don't do this, I just wonder how easy it is to use. At the end of the day you're probably going to want to save the games to file, and there's only one universally accepted format.

Each piece type has a unique value which could be converted to use your code (I think).

The code I am using, was taken from the >AutoIt Chess script. The script does the GUI and DLL does the work. The code was so easy to follow, I thought it to be simple to work with - not trying to reinvent the wheel.

Anyway, it was kind of two fold...great way to get be back into C++, and use my favorite app - AutoIt. But, it is also a challege, trying to get something to work. Sort of the way I felt about chess, when I first caught the bug.

EDIT

started to write something else, and left the other part - cleared it up.

I am trying to find the fix. One said to look at your command line for C++

 

/Yu"stdafx.h" /GS /analyze- /W3 /Zc:wchar_t /ZI /Gm /Od /sdl /Fd"Debugvc120.pdb" /fp:precise /D "WIN32" /D "_DEBUG" /D "_WINDOWS" /D "_USRDLL" /D "WIN32PROJECT2_EXPORTS" /D "_WINDLL" /D "_MBCS" /errorReport:prompt /WX- /Zc:forScope /RTC1 /Gd /Oy- /MT /Fa"Debug" /EHsc /nologo /Fo"Debug" /Fp"DebugWin32Project2.pch"

 

saying change _WINDOWS to _CONSOLE

EDIT

THAT did not work, still looking

EDIT

tried this too

EDIT

tried this

shell32.lib

and this

libcmt.lib

LIBCPMT.LIB

http://www.databaseforum.info/29/951436.aspx

from this

When you open a .NET Class Library or ASP.NET Web Service project created in a previous version of Visual C++, /Zl will be added to the Command Line property page for the compiler in the project setting dialog box, but msvcrt.lib and msvcmrt.lib will not be added to the linker's Additional Dependencies property. This will result in a linker error (LNK2001) when you build the project. To resolve the error, add msvcrt.lib and msvcmrt.lib to the linker's Additional Dependencies property or delete /Zl from the compiler's Command Line property page.

TRIED

msvcrt.lib and msvcmrt.lib

this looks promising???

I have to leave for a couple of hours...family duty. I will not be able to do any tests or look for fix. If anyone finds one, please let me know. I will continure to look when I get back

I did look at that program a while back and found it not to be working. I'm not sure if under promotion is a feature. The GUI does not allow you to drag and drop pieces. I spent ages dragging around the AutoIt wizzard png trying to figure out how it could be done, but failed back then. Perhaps I could solve it now. This was the main thing holding me back at the time.

Also my old code is clumsy. Firstly, legallity of moves has to be prioritized. Then parsing pgn would access that module. A separate module would handle things like legallity of position and setup. All of this is may be jumping the gun - to add an engine we need to understand how to interact with UCI engines. Some other engines use .eng extension - I don't know the difference.

I believe looking at the bigger picture will give clues as to the best approach. If you look at example programs like winboard, a precedent has already been set - one that's very difficult to follow. No doubt what you are doing will enhance your coding skills, but I think the above points are worth consideration if you want seamless integration.

Just found this: UCI protocol

So, just quick looking at that - the interface would be the only thing we would need, no matter how we built the GUI. We just create a table of data and then convert for each side - does that sound right, or am I way off?

So writing that interface would be your job - lol. I would like for it to have an A.I. and that way we could just play against any of the many ones out there, once load from the GUI.

I guess my problem above could be solved if I just included the dll's that were needed. I do believe it has to do with the configuration, so that is where I am going to start.

As for the existing app - it is far from done, but more then 3/4, and because the code was so easy to understand - it was kind of like a no brainer. I have already fixed a bug with the original dll, as the pawn could jump to the second square, no matter what piece was sitting in front of it. And I am almost done with castling, I just need to move the rook to the other side, and check for rook or king movement, oh an if the king is in check is covered, but do not believe the square he is landing on is, but I think it is going to be easy to check it, as the dll already has a function called something like checkkingcheck();

There is a to do list that was left from the original code, as well as the one that I created. It may be slow, but I think worth it, if my son happens to enjoy the game. He (turned 5 in July) already won his first game agains his cousin (Freshman in high school). Both only knew how to move, nothing more, not even to take back. I walked out of the room, just to see how it was handled - he had his cousin' s king in check 3 times, and was declared the winner.

and this: Stockfish

Is that only a linux based engine?

[czardas]

UCI engines are platform independant. It seems they make use of long algebraic notation, if you read the specs. With castling, three squares need to be free from attack - It doesn't matter if the rook is attacked or the queen's knight square. You already know this.

Great to hear about your son's chess victory. Three checks at that age sounds like a win to me.
