Qt-C ++-致命错误C1083：无法打开包含文件：'afx.h'

Question

Here I describe the steps I followed to try to build the following C++ project:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/twain-samples/files/TWAIN%202%20Sample%20Application/

On a Microsoft Windows 7 - 64 bit. My ultimate goal is to keep the functionality and to add command-line parameters so I can run it in a batch file, because right now, it's a menu-based software.

1. Installation of Qt Creator Community

   • Version 3.5.0 (based on Qt 5.5.0 (MSVC 2013, 32 bit)
   • Kits available:
     • Desktop Qt 5.4.2 MSVC2013 64bit2
     • Desktop Qt 5.5.0 MSVC2010 32bit
     • Desktop Qt 5.5.0 MSVC2012 32bit
     • Desktop Qt 5.5.0 MSVC2013 32bit
     • Desktop Qt 5.5.0 MSVC2013 64bit

2. Downloading Freeimage library (binary)

   • http://downloads.sourceforge.net/freeimage/FreeImage3170Win32Win64.zip

3. Installing Freeimage library

   • Uncompress FreeImage3170Win32Win64.zip
   • open the folder FreeImage\\Dist\\x64
   • Copy freeimage.dll in the C:\\Windows\\System32 folder

4. Downloading and uncompressing Twain project

   • Download Twain_App_sample.source.zip in http://sourceforge.net/projects/twain-samples/files/TWAIN%202%20Sample%20Application/
   • Uncompress the archive Twain_App_sample.source.zip , that gives the 2 following folders:
     • Twain_App_sample01
     • common

5. Putting Freeimage header file and lib in the project

   • copy Freeimage.h in the common folder
   • create a lib folder in Twain_App_sample01\\src folder
   • copy freeimage.lib in Twain_App_sample01\\src\\lib folder

6. Configuration of the project in Qt Creator

   • launch Qt Creator
   • in Qt, click Open project
   • choose the file src.pro in the Twain_App_sample01\\src folder
   • in Configure Project choose the Kit Desktop Qt 5.5.0 MSVC2013 64bit
   • click the Configure project button

7. Create and use a string conversion function

   • in DSMInterface.cpp source file, add this function:

      wchar_t *convertCharArrayToLPCWSTR(const char* charArray) { wchar_t* wString=new wchar_t[4096]; MultiByteToWideChar(CP_ACP, 0, charArray, -1, wString, 4096); return wString; } 

   • in DSMInterface.cpp , function LoadDSMLib , replace

      if((gpDSM=LOADLIBRARY(_pszLibName)) != 0) 

     with

      if((gpDSM=LOADLIBRARY(convertCharArrayToLPCWSTR(_pszLibName))) != 0) 

8. Compilation - part 1

   • Now i get a message from the linker:

DSMInterface.obj:-1: error : LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "int __cdecl VerifyEmbeddedSignature(wchar_t const *)" (?VerifyEmbeddedSignature@@YAHPEB_W@Z) referenced in function "bool __cdecl LoadDSMLib(char *)" (?LoadDSMLib@@YA_NPEAD@Z)

I added the Twain_App_sample01\\src\\VerifySignature.cpp file to the project and now this message is gone (thanks to Itay Grudev for this)

9. Compilation - part 2
   • I have another message now

..\\src\\VerifySignature.cpp(13) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'afx.h': No such file or directory

Answer 1

In fact I was starting with the Wrong tool. Thanks to Ben who sent me on the right track. I needed MFC. So The right solution is to use Visual Studio 2015. I could build it with that.
