Installing socket.io C++

问题

I try to work with socket.io in C++ but I can't seem to get the example running. First it asked me to convert the project to my visual studio (which is 2015). So I did that. Then it was missing libraries offcourse (boost, websocket++, rapidjson). So I added them to the additional libraries in the project settings. Then it was searching for boost.lib. Boost.lib doesnt exist in the boost library I installed on my pc, so I deleted it from the dependency list. I figured I already included boost, why would it search for a lib that doesn't exist. I ran bjam.exe and b2.exe etc from boost, so if there would be a boost.lib it should be there I guess and it isn't.

I then got this error: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/f6xx1b1z.aspx So I added msvcrt.lib and msvcmrt.lib to the linker's Additional Dependencies property. Which caused the errors in the included image..

Now all the steps seemed to fix the problems I had, but also create more errors in the process. I do not understand how to run a project like this and I can't find a good explanation of the steps I need to take.

Can anyone explain what I am doing wrong?

That is what I try to run, the included SioChatExample

Thanks for any help in advance!

Current errors..... :(

回答1:

i think many errors because of VC++ version. creator of project Socket.io-c++, he used VC++ 11.0 if you use VC++ 14.0 to build it, you will get the error. for suggestion you should use VC++ 12.0

In cast you want to use prebuilt libraries:

i myself just try many solutions, goodness i fix all

you can get them here Prebuilt-libraries-for-Socket.io-c++

for Visual Studio 2015, what u need are:

install more Visual Studio 2013 (i install Visual Studio 2013 community) to get VC++ 12.0 (prebuilt-lib is built in VC++ 12.0)
change your project Platform Toolset to Visaul Studio 2013 (v120)
link libraries to your project

libraries you need are:
