Using CCfits library in Win 7 with MSVC 2008

[vrltwe]

I'm trying to use the CCfits library in a Qt Creator project in Windows 7 32 bits. Please find the files appended.

I builded the libs (CCfits depends on CFITSIO) from source and I actually can build and run a VS sample project which comes with CCfits, which is found in the cookbook folder of CCfits.

The problem is how to run the same project on Qt Creator. I'm assuming that if it runs on VS it must be possible to run in Qt Creator (using the MSVC compiler).

I installed the following packets:
- Visual Studio Express 2008
- qt-win-opensource-4.8.5-vs2008
- Windows kit 8
- qt-creator-windows-opensource-2.8.1

The following is part of the compile output, which presents "already defined" issue:

msvcprt.lib(MSVCP90.dll) : error LNK2005: "public: unsigned short * __thiscall std::allocator<unsigned short>::allocate(unsigned int)" (?allocate@?$allocator@G@std@@QAEPAGI@Z) already defined in CCfits.lib(ColumnCreator.obj)

Error while building/deploying project CCfits-test (kit: MSVC2008)

I would like to ask how to procced in order to solve this problem. Any suggestion will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

The error indicates that Microsoft's linker cannot link your third party source because of name clashes between symbols in CCFits.lib and the Microsoft C++ run time library. My guess is that your compiler command is missing an option (a preprocessor define in all likelihood) that adjusts the offending code in CcFits.

This has no direct connection with Qt ( a library) or Qt Creator (an editor that can run make).

Using jom instead of nmake, then I get the following:

msvcprt.lib(MSVCP90.dll) : error LNK2005: "public: unsigned short * __thiscall std::allocator<unsigned short>::allocate(unsigned int)" (?allocate@?$allocator@G@std@@QAEPAGI@Z) already defined in CCfits.lib(ColumnCreator.obj)

The following is the build log from Visual Studio. Could you guess something more from that...
