cygwin error lnk1104 uuid.lib

kadiralhamid

Hi there

I have followed all of the procedures on issm website regarding how to install issm. I found there was a problem when compiling hello.cpp, it says "LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'uuid.lib'" with the preceding error:

warning C4530: C++ exception handler used, but unwind semantics are not enabled. Specify /EHsc
warning C4577: 'noexcept' used with no exception handling mode specified; termination on exception is not guaranteed. Specify /EHsc

What should I do to solve this?

Thanks,
Abdul

Hi Abdul, sorry if this is a stupid question but... do you REALLY need to compile the source code yourself? The binaries don't work for you?

Dear Mathieu

In this case I just straightforwardly following the instructions on your pages: https://issm.jpl.nasa.gov/download/windows/, by using cygwin and executing cl hello.cpp , it just won't work

While on the other hand, I used g++ hello.cpp and it's done easily. Is it possible to use Windows SDK later version?

Yes but we provide pre-compiled binaries ready to go here: https://issm.jpl.nasa.gov/download/binaries/ Try the windows build see if it works for you. (It is fairly difficult to compile ISSM on windows, so I don't recommend it)

It works perfectly. Thank you very much for your help and suggestion
