Windows Installation

[Chris Spencer]

Has anyone recently tried compiling FANN on Windows? I just tried with
MVS C++ 2005, and I get over a hundred errors. Most seem to be of the
form:

Error 1 error C2491: 'fann_create_standard' : definition of dllimport
function not allowed z:\fann\fann\src\fann.c 31

Is there any way to fix this?

Regards,
Chris

There are many different project types that can be
built with the various versions of Visual Studio, so
for some a compile time define is used to determine
the kind of function declaration that is needed.
I think you are building an executable and not using a
In the menu choose Project Properties.
Open Configuration Properties, C/C++, Preprocessor.
In Preprocessor Definitions add FANN_NO_DLL
use semicolon ; as a separator.
The default for MSVC++ 2003 or later is to use the
fann dll's. To use a lib or fixedfann.c, floatfann.c
or doublefann.c with those compilers FANN_NO_DLL has
to be defined before including the fann headers.
The default for previous MSVC compilers such as VC++ 6
is not to use dll's. To use dll's FANN_USE_DLL has to
be defined before including the fann headers.
The full explanation of the dll import/exports is in
fann.h in the section 'Macros used to define DLL
external entrypoints'
