Unresolved symbols (Linker, brx)

Richard Ernstberger

Hi all,
finally I've got my 2 main modules ported and they compile for BricsCAD.

However, i had to exclude some functions which were not able to compile because of linker errors about missing externals.

So far i have 2 missing externals:

Acad::ErrorStatus __cdecl AcDbAppSystemVariables::setOsmode(short,bool)
I use the AppSystemVariables to set osnap values inside a reactor callback function.
With AutoCAD 2010 it was not allowed to use acedSetVar as it caused AutoCAD to crash.

Acad::ErrorStatus __cdecl AcDbLayout::initialize(class AcDbObjectId *)
I use it in a utility function to automatically create PDF - files of certain sheets in a drawing.

Here's the output of Visual Studio 2015:

1>editor-reactors.obj : error LNK2019: Verweis auf nicht aufgelöstes externes Symbol ""__declspec(dllimport) public: enum Acad::ErrorStatus __cdecl AcDbAppSystemVariables::setOsmode(short,bool)" (__imp_?setOsmode@AcDbAppSystemVariables@@QEAA?AW4ErrorStatus@Acad@@F_N@Z)" in Funktion ""public: virtual void __cdecl UndoOsnapReactor::commandEnded(wchar_t const *)" (?commandEnded@UndoOsnapReactor@@UEAAXPEB_W@Z)".
1>D:\VisualStudio-2015\Projects\arm-base\Release\x64\arm-base.brx : fatal error LNK1120: 1 nicht aufgelöste Externe

1>plotsets.obj : error LNK2019: Verweis auf nicht aufgelöstes externes Symbol ""public: enum Acad::ErrorStatus __cdecl AcDbLayout::initialize(class AcDbObjectId *)" (?initialize@AcDbLayout@@QEAA?AW4ErrorStatus@Acad@@Z)" in Funktion ""int __cdecl arx_exportstl2pdf(void)" (?arx_exportstl2pdf@@YAHXZ)".
1>D:\VisualStudio-2015\Projects\arm-base\Release\x64\arm-base.brx : fatal error LNK1120: 1 nicht aufgelöste Externe

Is there a way to avercome these errors?

Many thanks in advance for help or tips.

Regards,
Richard

Hi Torsten,
I'm really impressed by your quick response.
And even more by your immediate implementation of the AcDbAppSystemVariables functions.

Absolutely great, i appreciate this.
