Re: [nv-l] Libraries to run sample C++ code

[James Shanks <jshanks@us.ibm.com>]

Ah. Now I understand.   When you
use Visual Studio and there is an existing project file (*.dsp) or a workspaces
file (*.dsw), all the appropriate settings are already included, so you
don't have to modify them with Project -->Settings.

All you do is bring up Visual Studio,
pull down File--> Open Workspace and navigate to where the .dsw or .dsp
file is and open that.  The default file type of .dsw is preferred,
as you navigate you have a "File of Type" pull down that allows
you to open Projects (type .dsp).  That's what the developers expected
you to do.  Then the settings would already be correct.

Glad you figured it out

James, thanks.
I included the header on the file and on project->setting->libraries
placed libmib.lib.  I could create the .exe file.

Here I answer your questions

> You are doing this on Windows, aren't you?
Yes, now I am using Visual C++ 6.0.  I am using it the firts time,
my C 
programming experiences are with Borland C 3.1

> Did you not read the append I put out this morning?
Yes.  I do not what is the use of the *.dsp.

> Why are you copying and renaming the sample?  What does that

Becasue I just want the source code and create the .exe, this is a test
I am doing for both learning visual C++ and to use the functions the NV
libraries provide.

> And how exactly are you compiling it?
Under build-> compile (I do not know what else tell you!!!).  Then
make 
exe.

If I want to use the function nvSnmpBlockingGetTable I need the 
libraries (from NV programmer Guide)
 \usr\OV\lib\libov.lib
 \usr\OV\lib\nvsnmp.lib
 \usr\OV\lib\libovc.lib
 \usr\OV\lib\libovcmapi.lib
the last 2 are not in my lib directory, how do I specify them???

The final goal is to retrive the Forwarding table my switches, and use
it to know where things are connected.
