Visual Stuido Can not find CPPUNIT debugging database

Question

Hi All,

I am using Visual Studio 2008 with CPPUNIT. I already compiled CPPUNIT and add CPPUNIT path to Include and Library path. Currently, I can compile my program with CPPUNIT library.

However, the linker generates the following warning.

Warning 2 warning LNK4099: PDB 'vc90.pdb' was not found with 'C:\Program Files\cppunit\cppunit-1.12.1\lib\cppunitd.lib' or at 'c:\Users\hide1713\Desktop\3d_tank\cpp_pj\bin\vc90.pdb'; linking object as if no debug info cppunitd.lib GameUnitTest

There's a cppunitd_dll.pdb file along with cppunitd.lib. I want to know how to tell linker to find the CPPUNIT debug database?

Thanks all.

In your CppUnit project, be sure you have your compiler emitting a program database file that's compatible with your main project. In the CppUnit project properties window, under the Config properties / C++ / General tree, you'll see the Debug Information Format box. Select "Program Database /Zi" or whatever value exactly matches the same setting on your main project. You'll then have to recompile them both, of course.
