Problem with compiling host code in VS 2010 and emulation

--- Quote Start ---

I have been able to resolve the AOC unable to find VS LINK.EXE. I was trying emulation from within SoC embedded shell. That was wrong. I switched to windows command prompt shell. Also the path should be C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\bin\x86_amd64

However, I still have the VS2010 build error:

LINK : warning LNK4044: unrecognized option '/LC:\altera\14.1\hld\board\de1soc\arm32\lib'; ignored

1>LINK : warning LNK4044: unrecognized option '/lalterahalmmd'; ignored

1>LINK : warning LNK4044: unrecognized option '/lalterammdpcie'; ignored

1>alteracl.lib(acl_globals.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol acl_hal_get_system_definition

I tried compiling vector addition example for AOCL version 14.0 obtained from Altera website and it gave the same error. The options that it complains about being unrecognized are shown when I type aocl link-config.

Someone please shed some light on this.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------say that you installed Visual Studio 2010 and windows SDK7.1, then pls help to follow the following steps which proved work: 11;dConfigure project to use the configuration alteraopencl with the platform x64: Right click on the Project simpleopencl in the Solution Explorer. Click on properties. At the top of the Property Pages, click on configuration manager¡­ From the dropdown menus, change the configuration and platform

2. click Close [/B]to close the Configuration Manager.

3.In the Property Pages, go to configuration properties -> general. Verify that the platform toolset has been set to windows7.1sdk. This is what allows us to compile 64-bit executable.

4.In the Property Pages, go to c/c++ -> general. You should see that the additional include directories should include a path to the Intel include files.

the include directory allows our compile to be aware of the altera opencl header files.

5. Now go to linker->general. You should see Altera¡¯s 64-bit library path listed under Additional library directories.

this points the linker to the library directory where intel¡¯s libraries are located.

6. Go to linker->input. In the additional dependencies field, you should see opencl.lib. This is Altera¡¯s provided static library for compiling and running

OpenCL kernels.

7. Click ok to close the Property Pages.
