Fatal Error RC1102 with MSVC8 64-bit

[heyuqi]

Hi all,

0.7.0-rc1 compiles failed with Visual Studio 2005 Win64 generator. I Had the following errors:

RC1102: internal error : too many arguments to RCPP

The msdn documentation on this error says it can be caused by too many includes (/I) or too many define symbols (/D).

The problem occurs when compiling Version.rc file.

I turn the OCE_NO_LIBRARY_VERSION option on, and the build successfully complete.

Thanks for the report. Qb uses to compile OCE with VS2008 and VS2010, you're the first so far to report compilation status with VS2005. We have then two options:

• consider VS2005 is quite old, and add a specific VS2005 entry to the compilation instructions files ;
• modify the CMakeLists.txt so that it turns off OCE_NO_LIBRARY_VERSION for MSVC compiler <2005 (I think it's the same whether you run the 32bit or 64bit modes).

What about the testing suite? Do all the tests pass?

[heyuqi]

Yes, this fatal error also occurs in 32bit mode.

I link turn off OCE_NO_LIBRARY_VERSION if there is no other simple way to fix this issue.

I have no MSVC 2005 at home, so I will run all tests tonight in company. Please wait...

Hello, could you try to disable version information? pass -DOCE_NO_LIBRARY_VERSION=ON to cmake when configuring. It should disable RC generation Not a solution, just a workaround.

Hi, Qb

I had disable the RC generation and successfully build done.

[QbProg]

Great! Thank you for the feedback.

I'm leaving this open so we can further investigate the RC issue and see if it's worth finding a workaround

Hi, tpaviot.

All tests passed except BRepMeshTestSuite.testMeshTorus (both in 32-bit and 64-bit mode).

But TBB dlls are missing while running tests, please have a look at the pull request #156
