Lib hdi_core for visual studio 2013? - andrey - 10-02-2014

Hi! I'd like to find out whether it's possible to recompile the libraries hdi_core into the visual studio 2013?

Thanks for posting and using CORE!

For compatibility reasons, we strictly follow Adobe's latest recommended development environment. For the official Illustrator 18 SDK, they require Visual Studio 2010; once they move to a newer version we will do the same (probably with the as yet unreleased Illustrator 19 SDK, but that is a complete guess).

If you are interested, I linked hdi libs using 2013 studio and everything worked fine.


RE: Lib hdi_core for visual studio 2013? - andrey - 10-03-2014

Yes, I'm interested. Could you, please, tell me more about it?

One of the error messages that I receive is " error LNK2038: mismatch detected for '_MSC_VER': value '1600' doesn't match value '1800' in...".

Try compiling it not with default toolset, but with Windows 7.1 SDK. I believe it should help.

I also have VS 2013 and tried toolsets 120 and 110, with and without the XP option, and every time I get an "error TRK0005: Failed to locate: "rc.exe". I did locate and download a 2010 V100 toolset, but it says my VS is too new to install it. Given that VS 2010 Pro (for 64-bit) runs as high as $1,500 on E-Bay, simply getting an older compiler isn't a very viable alternative. It would really be nice if there were something like XcodeLegacy script for Visual Studio. Is anybody having success with CORE projects from CS6 up with VS 2013? -- Rick

Microsoft no longer offers VS2010 Express, but I took a chance on downloading it from a third party "GetIntoPC" <http://getintopc.com/softwares/development/download-visual-studio-2010-professional-free-version/> and it seems OK. It's the Express version, not Professional as advertised. It can't compile 64-bit, and even sample plugin Win32 build attempts are fraught with errors. It looks like Windows will have to wait...
