Is there an updated Winguide.pdf available for FDK8. I see that the "Whats_new_in_FDK8" PDF recommends the use of Visual C++ 2005 there is no further explanation on how to set that environment up. And since Visual C++ 2005 does not support Single Threaded applications as VS2003 did, I'm wondering how to ignore libcd.lib without incurring a ton of unresolved external symbol errors in my app.
Also, it would be great if all the developer doc was updated and made available via the FDK 8 installer. The latest doc set on the Adobe support site, shipping with the 1Feb2008 FDK installer applies to 7.2 and even 7.1, goes back to Sept 2007.
Thanks

I don't know if this will help exactly, but I got some help from Scott Prentice when I switched to VS 2003:

Hi Rick...

Here's what I've added to the code to compile FDK8 apps in VC7 (VS2003) ..

// FDK8 required in VC7
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
int _stat32( const char *path, struct _stat *buffer ) { return
_stat(path, buffer); }
int _wstat32( const wchar_t *path, struct _stat *buffer ) { return
_wstat(path, buffer); }
long _ftol( double );
long _ftol2_sse( double dblSource ) { return _ftol( dblSource ); }

I'm successfully compiling with VC8 (VS2005 Standard) .. I don't know
about the "Express Edition". Note that if you want to build an
import/export client you must use VC8, but you can build regular clients
using older versions of the compiler.

If you need more info, you might want to try the "frame_dev" Yahoo group.

Cheers,

...scott

      According the FrameMaker 8 FDK Supplement, I can compile FDK 8 clients
      in Visual C++ 2003 (7.1). On page 22, it says to put the following lines
      in the source code of the FDK client:





      extern "C" { long _ftol2(double); long _ftol2_sse(double dblSource) {
      return _ftol2(dblSource); } }





      When I do that and attempt to build the plugin, I get a synax error pointing
      to the line





      extern "C"





      The error is





      error C2059: syntax error: 'string'





      Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
