Hi,

I do not this is the right place to ask this question but while I was trying to build my own cpp example with Visual C++ 2005 express edition and cplex, I get the following error. I installed the microsoft sdk but there is no difference.

LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'uuid.lib'

Any idea or help will be appreciated.

Thanks

Hello,
1.  indeed asking C++ stuff on the OPL related forum is not very wise because most of the people are - I suspect - using OPL because they don't want to use C++ or they don't know C++ but still they get all the opti functionality of CPLEX and more. So asking this type of questions in the CPLEX forum is a good idea.
2. I had no idea what uuid.lib was so I searched on the web and the first link is:
http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=512754&SiteID=1 from 2006
which, if you read it through, will give you the cause and the solution. It seems to be a path problem (again).
3. no offense but why do you deal with C++? it seems that you are absolutely novice to it. OPL is a much simpler language and it is tailored to opti. In OPL you will not have all these linking and building problems

cheers

Hello Katai,

Thank you for your answer. I am using C++ because I will use genetic algorithms and cplex together in my problem. I think I have to use C++. Please tell me if I am wrong.

Thanks again.

Can you open the project file in the CPLEX example directory (<CPLEX_HOME>\examples\x86_.net2005_8.0\stat_mda) with Visual C++ 2005 express edition ?
If yes, and if you can link the examples with this project, the problem probably lies in your project settings or makefile.
