Odd Linking Error

[JeffKr]

Hi,
I'm new to Bullet, ran through the demo programs got them compiling/running just fine, started to add the Bullet HelloWorld demo to an existing VS2008 project and ran into a couple errors.

It compiles nice and happy with

Code: Select all

btDefaultCollisionConfiguration* collisionConfiguration = new btDefaultCollisionConfiguration();
btCollisionDispatcher* dispatcher = new btCollisionDispatcher(collisionConfiguration);
btBroadphaseInterface* overlappingPairCache = new btDbvtBroadphase();

but as soon as I add

Code: Select all

btSequentialImpulseConstraintSolver* solver = new btSequentialImpulseConstraintSolver;

It gives me these errors.

Creating library ..\..\Final\Lib\Main.dll.lib and object ..\..\Final\Lib\Main.dll.exp
Main.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "void * __fastcall btAlignedAllocInternal(unsigned int,int)" (?btAlignedAllocInternal@@YIPAXIH@Z) referenced in function "public: static void * __fastcall btSequentialImpulseConstraintSolver::operator new(unsigned int)" (??2btSequentialImpulseConstraintSolver@@SIPAXI@Z)

Main.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "void __fastcall btAlignedFreeInternal(void *)" (?btAlignedFreeInternal@@YIXPAX@Z) referenced in function "public: static void __fastcall btSequentialImpulseConstraintSolver::operator delete(void *)" (??3btSequentialImpulseConstraintSolver@@SIXPAX@Z)
..\..\Final\Bin/Main.dll : fatal error LNK1120: 2 unresolved externals

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The first three are in the collision library, while the one giving you link errors is in the dynamics library. You are linking against BulletDynamics, yes? I assume you'd have more link errors if you weren't but that's all I could think.

Yep, I was linking against BulletDynamics.

Turns out it was a calling convention problem. __cdecl vs __fastcall
It wasn't happy with mixing them.
