Hi all!
I'm rookie in moding DC++ and when i try to build the client i get this error:

fatal error LNK1112: module machine type 'IA64' conflicts with target machine type 'X86'

What does that mean? How can i fix it?

I Have AMD Athlon 1Ghz, 512Mb ram, 160gb hard drive etc...But what does that have to do with this?

Looks like your using link.exe with /Machine:IA64 option

IA64 and x86 are processor architectures.

Are you using the DC++ source? Do you get any other errors? How far along in the build does this error show up?

Ok, I hope you use VS.NET 2003 to begin with, are you ?

, then if you click on Project (menu item) -> DCPlusPlus Properties -> Linker (folder) -> Advanced. What does it say next to "Target Machine" ?. Or maybe you have a 64/32-bit Athlon CPU ?

I'm using Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003.

What does it say next to "Target Machine" ?.

It says: MachineX86 (/MACHINE:X86)

Your environment is somehow being to set to make 64bit objects. When you installed Visual Studio .NET 2003, did you also install any 64bit options? 64bit options are most likely to have come from installing a Windows SDK, which generally you shouldn't need though. Did you install an MS SDK? YouÃ¢â‚¬â„¢re also not running any batch file or anything to set up a 64bit environment right?

If at any point you needed to change your Target Machine type, you might be required to do a rebuild. In any event, right now, do a Clean Solution and or Rebuild Solution. That should remove the IA64 object files you already have.

Check to make sure that Target Machine is X86 for each project in the DC++ solution. (I believe you should only need to make use of one project, DCPlusPlus, to be linked, but make sure the others are not being linked with a different Target Machine.)

Tell us if your problem continues. If you still then get that error, somehow youÃ¢â‚¬â„¢re producing IA64 object files. Try setting the Target Machine to something else, like Not Set or inherit defaults. Do you have other options for Target Machine?

No I Didn't.

Did you install an MS SDK?

I Installed Core SDK.

Do you have other options for Target Machine?

Yes there is.
I tried everything you said but it still gives me that error...What do i do now?

You didn't answer this question. In addition, are you able to publish and link to your build log somewhere?

Now the first error is gone, (Don't ask me how, because i don't know it my self either

)but now i get 2 more errors...the build log is there: http://members.lycos.co.uk/xvidfinland/BuildLog.htm

Seeing as the original problem has disappeared, have you followed the instructions given in Compile.txt?

Makemies · Post by **Makemies** » 2004-03-22 13:29

Yes I have...

So do you have the file excpt.h anywhere?

I Installed Core SDK.

You can install a 64-bit core SDK (presumably with associated linkers and compilers) from Microsoft. If you have .NET 2002 or 2003, you didn't need to install the Core SDK to get DC++ to work.
