Using CMPH in VC++

Question

I would like to use minimal perfect hash from CMPH. Any idea how can I use it on a VC++ project?

I created a new project using VC++ 2008 Express Edition here and add the header and source files but it output compilation errors.

Looks like the project is delivered source-only, so you will have to download the source code and build it with your platform's compiler. When that is done, you will have cmph.h and an associated library.

You will then have to edit your Visual Studio project and add the header file to your project or put the location into your include path, and edit the project to put the location where the .lib is.
