Compiling IBPP with VS2010 - linking issue

I have a C++ project that uses IBPP to access a firebird database. I simply do it by including the file "all_in_one.cpp" in my project, and all went well with both VS6 (yes, I still have some of those) and VS2008.

Now I am considering using VS2010. It is compiling ok but does not link. I know VS2010 comes with a new implementation of the STL, and the linking problem obviously is around the STL.

I have tried creating a new project with VS2010, just adding the all_in_one.cpp file. It is a simple project that does not contain anything else, and it still fails to link with the same missing symbols. I can't figure out what's missing, incorrect. I have tried linking to the same libraries as in VS2008 (including the path). Nothing is working so far.

Here are the errors:

It seems your library/DLL is exporting some templated/STL stuff.

STL is not binary compatible among different compiler versions.

You need to use same compiler/linker/bitness to compile and link the DLL/EXE if STL/template is involved.

Remove the all_in_one.cpp from build and use the other files from core to build the library.

Concerning linker errors 10 and 11 from the error list above, I have the following solution (probably it fixes all errors).

Open the property pages of your project by right clicking your project inside the Solution Explorer and selecting "Properties".

Inside the "Property Pages"-window:

-->  open "Configuration Properties" from left menu
     --> select "VC++ Directories" on the left
         --> go to "Library Directories" on the right
             --> the corresponding string should contain a sub-string like
                 "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\lib"
                 --> replace "9.0" by "10.0"

to make the changes working "re"build your solution (perhaps clean your solution first).
