It seems like FTK versions 3.5.3 and up all suffer some serious compilation
errors under VS.NET (2003 or 2005).
For the FTK version in XSI 5.11, I was never able to successfully link
against the XSIFtk_static.lib. I always get linker errors about undefined
external symbols.
For the dynamic link version, the first thing that faces you is a bunch of
compilation errors because the FTK is trying to dllimport a template class.
A hack is to modify the classes' declarations to omit the usage of XSIEXPORT
in all FTK's template classes. This compiles successfully (but with warnings
though). However, I've noticed now that the FTK's DLL (in XSI 5.11) depends
on a new DLL (besides XSIFtk.dll) which is (xerces-c_2_1_0.dll).
Can someone explain what are the required compiler/linker settings for safe
and correct builds under the Win32 platform?
