Hello,

I want to create a C++ program COM to drive Excel (like using Perl
Win32::OLE or Python

win32com.client) with the open-source C++ libraries
VOLE-0.4.4/stlsoft-1.9.46

My configuration :
Windows XP and the GNU GCC 3.4.2 compiler (mingw32)

I'm trying to use the example "Excel.driver.cpp" with my compiler
 G++ -I%VOLE%/include -I%STLSOFT%/include ....

but it makes error that I can't resolve (with VOLE 0.5.1/stlsoft-1.9.48 too)

Error :

vole::object  xlApp   =   vole::object::create(L"Excel.Application",
CLSCTX_LOCAL_SERVER);

error: no matching function for call to `vole::object::create(const
wchar_t[18], tagCLSCTX)'

Please Help me to continue.

Another question :
Is it possible to use VOLE/stlsoft libraries with cross-compiling for win32
under linux ?

Note :
I am a C++ beginner, I'm french and my English is not good, please answer me
in simple words.

I think the problem is simply that the create() method changed to have three
(non-default) arguments in version 0.2.1. Clearly I have forgotten to update
the example, for which I apologise. Please look at
test/scratch/Excel.driver.test.

Hello Matt,

Thank's for your answers, I have used the test/scratch/Excel.driver.test.cpp
with the good create() methode.
The errors have disappeared, but there are many others "undefined reference
to..."

I have used this command line with Dev-Cpp or MingW :
G++ -I%VOLE%/include -I%STLSOFT%/include -o myTest.exe
C:\opensrc\vole\vole-0.4.4\test\Excel.driver.test\Excel.driver.test.cpp

Can you help me again ?


Best,

Mario

You'll have to link to liboleaut32.a and libole32.a

I can't remember how off the top of my head, but I think if you try "g++ <...
other linker options ...> -lole32 -loleaut32" it might
be all that you need.

Hello Matt,

Thanks for all your answers,

I have tried the command line with the specified libraries.
I had some errors links.
After some searches on the web, I finally found another missing library 
(libuuid.a)

Now the command line "G++ -I%VOLE%/include -I%STLSOFT%/include -o 
myTest.exe 
C:\opensrc\vole\vole-0.4.4\test\Excel.driver.test\Excel.driver.test.cpp 
-lole32 -loleaut32 -luuid" compiles the example code.

Thanks again for your help

Yes for STLSoft
No for VOLE, because COM is a Windows-specific thing.
