Hi Mihailo,

There is a much bigger chance that somebody will be able to help you, if
you let people know what is actually going wrong rather than just that
you have a problem...

To anyone who can help,

I'm a student at the BioEngineering Institute for the University of
Auckland. Currently I'm doing a summer studentship which involves using
ARToolkit to do some virtual simulations with AR functionality.

Unfortunately, Ive run into quite a number of issues whilst running certain
ARToolkit applications (mainly involving VRML), and I've spent a
considerable amount of time looking for the solutions on the internet and
literature as well as performing the patch posted by Phillip Lamb at ( Buiding
the simpleVRML doesnt work(details
inside)<http://www.hitlabnz.org/forum/showthread.php?t=287>),
mostly to no avail. Would you be so kind as to detail how you managed to get
ARToolkit working preferably from start to execution of simpleVRML. I have
tried the latest version of ARToolkit on Microsoft VS 6.0 and VS 2005

Thank you for your time.

Yours sincerely
Mihailo

The openVRML part is very difficult to compile and I would suggest to 
avoid it as much as possible. While I was working on the CMake branch I 
got OpenVRML 0.14, 0.15 and 0.16 working - but as 0.17 and 0.18 again 
changed the API  its apparent that there will be never a stable API.

The last message in the thread by Philip refers to Visual Studio 2005 
(aka VC8). However he seems to suggest to mix different runtimes - this 
works as long as you proxy through a clean C API which ARvrml provides. 
This is a very delicate process and getting it right requires a very 
cleanly set up build system.

Instead of using ARToolKit on its own or rely on OpenVRML I would 
suggest you use osgART (http://www.osgart.org) or for even simpler 
visualization BuildAR (http://www.hitlabnz.org/wiki/BuildAR)


Cheers,
Hartmut

The errors are linker errors.. it looks like libz.lib hasn't been  
linked in. The missing __iob symbol is a bit more problematic, and  
probably indicates that more than one C runtime is in use across the  
libraries/executable.

Mihailo -- It would help to know which version of visual studio you're  
using, which C runtime you're building simpleVRML with, and which  
version of OpenVRML and compiler and C runtime it was built with.

Certainly, compiling OpenVRML is not simple.. as with any large  
framework, assembling the prerequisites is a challenge, which is why I  
made some OpenVRML binaries available, including the necessary linked  
libraries.The binaries for Windows are for MSVS 2005 (VS8.0).
	http://www.artoolworks.com/dist/openvrml/0.16.6/
These should link against the Visual Studio 2005 project files  
including with ARToolKit 2.72.1 without too much trouble.

By way of explanation about the source of these problems, C++ ABIs  
have proven to be very unstable (both in Microsoft's compilers and  
FSF's) which makes distributing any SDK using a C++ interface a big  
headache. It has been made considerably worse by Microsoft's poorly  
planned attempts to fix their C/C++ runtime problems.

Cheers,
Phil.
