Hello CommunityI tried to set up Visual Studio 2005 but I get the following error for the sample gauge included in the SDK. Anyone managed to get it to work ?BrgdsEugen SDK.cc:documents and settingsetmy documentsvisual studio 2005projectsgaugessampleSDK.FlightMap.c(152) : warning C4018: '<' : signed/unsigned mismatchc:documents and settingsetmy documentsvisual studio 2005projectsgaugessampleSDK.FlightMap.c(358) : warning C4996: 'strcpy' was declared deprecated Message: 'This function or variable may be unsafe.

SDK.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbolSDK.obj is the object file of your project, which it's thinking you named "SDK". It's created when you create a new project from existing code.From the look of it, you didn't create the new project from existing code so it never created the support files that it needs. This looks like a linking error to me... This is my guess. Also, did you set yourself up with the newest SDK's for C++?Scott / Vorlin

However, you have to know what to include into your build.>SDK.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol>__imp__wsprintfA referenced in function>_temperature_string_cb@4wsprintf isn't being included into your build.

VC++ 2005 Express doesn't default to supporting the creation and you have a lot of changes to make before it will.

Ok, ignore what I said and listen to Ed. I'm still trying to learn C for anything more than a console application.Scott / Vorlin

ThanksGot it to work following the instructions. Although I already installed the SDK.http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/express/visu...dk/default.aspxDeleting the file vccomponents.dat seemed to do the difference.BrgdsEugen
