I'm trying to create a Dark GDK game with Box 2D physics, and I have come across a problem.
I can compile and run the basic Dark GDK 2D game. I can also compile and run a basic Box2D world using the console output. But when I try to put Box2D inside the working Dark GDK code. I get this linkage error.


What does this error mean? I've checked and confirmed that all my libraries are there and properly linked.

This error happens every time I put in a line of Box2D code. Without that, it works. I can include the library without any issues.

are you including other libraries other than darkGDK and the standard c++ libraries? if so, there is no solution. as long as i have used darkGDK, it hates having any other libraries included and will do this. if you are not, i have no idea what is wrong.

There IS a solution, and the error says exactly what to do.

Add msvcrtd to the "Ignore Specific Library" list in (Project)->(<Project> Properties)->[+](Configuration Properties)->[+](Linker)->(Input)

If for some reason what Bran flakes posted doesn't work you can try doing my tutorial on getting box2d to work with Dark GDK. I am using it for my project and I don't remeber getting these errors. Here is the link if it doesn't work.

Go down a little ways and the long post that is on there by me is it. Should be pretty obvious.

Well, this is embarrassing. Doing what Bran said solved the issue, but left me with a ton of unresolved externals.



I will try to solve this, but if anyone can help me, it would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

It works now, thanks for all the help. I found out my error. When I compiled the lib file, I was using debug mode. When I used the lib file compiled in release mode, it solved all my errors.
