Install System-AMS in Visual C++ 2008

[Kaiwen]

 Hello everyone,

I`m new in SystemC-AMS. I have met a problem with the building of systemc_ams.lib. Here is my software environment

Software: Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition of Windows 10

SystemC.lib: systemC 2.3.0 vision downloading from http://www.coseda-tech.com/systemc-ams-proof-of-concept has already been set up.Output "hello world" in youtube example "SystemC installation at Visual studio 2010" runs correctly on my computer.

 

SystemC_ams: systemc-ams-2.1 version downloading from COSEDA http://www.coseda-tech.com/systemc-ams-proof-of-concept. I have corrected the additional include directory and additional library directory in systemc_ams.vcproj

and after press F7 I meet this problem:

The compete Output in Visual studio has been set as attach named error.txt.

Do you have any ideas about my problems? Thanks in advance.

Even though the INSTALL instructions for the SystemC AMS PoC mentions only Visual C++ 8.0/9.0 as well as SystemC 2.2, I would recommend you that you to try to build against the most recent release of SystemC 2.3.2 using either Visual Studio 2015 or 2013. Recent Visual Studio versions should still be able to open and convert the old provided solution files. Compared to SystemC 2.3.0, SystemC 2.3.2 fixed many errors, among them an issue with the sc_event_or_list type mentioned in your error log. Recent Visual Studio version are much more conformant to the ISO/IEC C++ standard.

As I am using mostly the GNU and Clang toolchains on non-Windows platforms, I cannot help you further at the moment.

Hallo Maehne,

Thank you for the reply, thank helps me a lot. I have tried many times and I can now run system_ams 2.1 and systemC 2.3.2 successfully both in visual studio 2015 and visual studio 2017. One important thing in my case is that, the Runtime Library must be chosen as "Multi-threaded Debug DLL (/MDd) "in the property setting(Project->Property->c/c++->Code Generation->Runtime Library), when the systemc.lib is generated.

I am happy I could help and that you can now use the SystemC and SystemC AMS libraries on Visual Studio!
