[ODE] HELP ME!!! Compiling Problem...

[Ed Jones]

Or alternatively;

In VC6, casting a floating point number to a long caused the compiler to 
generate a call to a hidden library function named _ftol. VC7 generates 
a call to _ftol2 (obviously the implementation of this function changed, 
so the name was changed to prevent version clashes). If your source code 
includes a cast from double to long types, VC7 will generate a call to 
_ftol2, and the following linker error will result:

*|error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __ftol2|*

Resolve this error by placing the following in one of your .cpp files 
(StdAfx.cpp, for example):

#if (_MSC_VER >= 1300) && (WINVER < 0x0500)
//VC7 or later, building with pre-VC7 runtime libraries
extern "C" long _ftol( double ); //defined by VC6 C libs
extern "C" long _ftol2( double dblSource ) { return _ftol( dblSource ); }*|
#endif|*


Isn't Google great!
