System plug-in compilation MS Visual Studio 2010

Hello.

I have problem with compilation of System.dll plug-in under MS Visual Studio 2010 SP1.

LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _CallProc referenced in function _Call    System\Source\System.obj
LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _CallBack referenced in function _Call    System\Source\System.obj
LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _RealCallBack referenced in function _CreateCallback    System\Source\System.obj
LNK1120: 3 unresolved externals    System\Source\Debug\System.dll    1

I am running Windows 7 x64 but I am trying to create Unicode x86 dll.

I am not sure what is causing this problem - maybe there is problem in my project? I created new VC++ project from scratch so maybe there is some incompatible option.

Does anyone have working .vcxproj file (or whole solution)?? (I am not using Scons)

Those functions are in Call.S and you need to compile that file before linking...

Thanks!

For others:
- you need to compile Call.S file with ML.exe (from Visual Studio installation) with correct parameters (mentioned in the file).
- then you need to add the call.obj file into Solution explorer (simply drag it there) so the linker can find it.

Why do you need to recompile the system plugin?

I had some crashes in my installer and it was not possible to find out what it causing them.
So I rebuilt all (used) plug-ins and added Debug information to them.

I solved some problems but there are still some troubles with stack - I suppose some plug-in corrupts stack.

Btw. the System plug-in was fine 🙂
