Initial plugin Compile problem with VS 2010 - SOLVED
Greenbriar Studio
Posts: 32
Finally found a copy of VS2010 Pro. (I of course had up to 2008 then 2012, never had used 2010)
Just trying to get a sample plugin to build so I'll have a working project to start from.
Tried a couple - all fail. Just running the 'A First Plugin' (in release mode since I don't see the debug QT libs, in both 32 bit and 64 bit.) I get: (same result for 32 bit)
1>------ Build started: Project: A First Plugin, Configuration: Release x64 ------

Further runs just have one difference, since file is already there

Thaniks for any assistance getting started,

I have never had the problem myself but there is lot of information available on the web about it.
Try these links;

By the way you don't strictly need VS2010.
I have built DAZ3D plugins using VS2010 Pro, VS2012 Pro and VS2013 Pro.
Under property pages->linker->input
Make sure the Qt library files listed are named correctly, are all listed, and the path to them is to the correct bit version. If I remember correctly there is a file naming typo in the Daz Studio 4.5+ SDK for the 64 bit Qt lib files. Names should be like this..
dzcore.lib
QtCore4.lib
QtGui4.lib
Qt3Support4.lib
QtScript4.lib
Hope that helps!
Woirks on my laptop. the issue was the desktop VS 2010 did not have the the Service Pack 1 installed.
On to real issues.
Thanks
