Compilation issues in Visual Studio

[ghost]

Originally reported on Google Code with ID 31

I am trying to compile the chromium in Visual Studio 2013. I am actually trying to create
a .NET Wrapper for the library so I have added all the source files inside my CLR project.

Now whenever I compile I get these linking errors.

    error LNK2005: "struct CLD2::CLD2TableSummary const CLD2::kCjkDeltaBi_obj" (?kCjkDeltaBi_obj@CLD2@@3UCLD2TableSummary@1@B)
already defined in cld_generated_cjk_delta_bi_32.obj

These all seems to be related as I can see a relation between the 'generated' files.

Problem is I have a lot of these and I am not sure which ones I should exclude and
which I should keep and use in my code.

Here is a list all the generated files that came with the CLD2 code.

    cld_generated_cjk_uni_prop_80.cc
    cld_generated_score_quad_octa_2.cc
    cld_generated_score_quad_octa_0122.cc
    cld_generated_score_quad_octa_0122_2.cc
    cld_generated_score_quad_octa_1024_256.cc
    cld_generated_cjk_delta_bi_4.cc
    cld_generated_cjk_delta_bi_32.cc
    cld2_generated_octa2_dummy.cc
    cld2_generated_quad0122.cc
    cld2_generated_quad0720.cc
    cld2_generated_quadchrome_2.cc
    cld2_generated_quadchrome_16.cc
    cld2_generated_cjk_compatible.cc
    cld2_generated_deltaocta0122.cc
    cld2_generated_deltaocta0527.cc
    cld2_generated_deltaoctachrome.cc
    cld2_generated_distinctocta0122.cc
    cld2_generated_distinctocta0527.cc
    cld2_generated_distinctoctachrome.cc

The naming convention of these suggests that I should only be using one of each group.
At least that how I think I should use it as I am not really an expert in encoding
nor in how CLD2 works. And I could not find any references online explaining how to
configure it.

I tried eliminating the linking errors by keeping only one of each generated group:

for example: from `cld_generated_cjk_delta_bi_4` and `cld_generated_cjk_delta_bi_32`
I kept the 32 version. And so on for the rest of the files.

Now this made CLD compile yet when I tried testing it with languages I noticed that
the scores were way way off and it was behaving inexplicably bad.

I am not trying to support all languages I only need to support latin languages along
with hebrew, arabic, japanese and chinese.

Can someone please explain how to configure CLD2 to compile and work correctly.

Hi @redserpent7, sorry for the delay in response; is this still an issue for you? See the table on this page: https://github.com/CLD2Owners/cld2/wiki/CLD2-Full-Version

Some of these generated files are for the "subset version" and some for the "full version" of CLD2. I recommend using the "full version" data if possible. When doing so, I believe you can avoid included data from the "subset version" which may have overlapping definitions.

Hi @jasonriesa thanks for the reply. Actually since I did not receive a reply I thought CLD is dead so I switched to TextCat. I might give CLD another go now. However, could you explain the differences between full and subset versions?
