[Botan-devel] Re: botan-devel Digest, Vol 34, Issue 4

[Yan Shpilsky]

Hi Jack,
I resolved the issue, it was my own fault.
I did some research on the error and re-read the Botan API doc.
The error I had received was just MSVC's way of saying that an 
unhandled exception was thrown, and it happened because I had not 
included the necessary modules.
After re-building Botan with the win32 module set, I had some linker 
errors when trying to build the program (unresolved external symbol for 
some of the Windows functions), so I had to include two additional 
libraries for the static build.
If anyone else runs into this problem, I did the following:

perl configure.pl mvsc-generic-generic --module-set=win32
nmake
cl getCred_2.cpp /EHsc /link libbotan.lib user32.lib advapi32.lib

Thanks again for the help.
Yan
