VMD-L Mailing List

Hi John,

I've found what's the problem: the LIB environment variable used by the linker was wrong, containing a folder path to the old Visual Studio on it.

I've compiled the plugins and now I'll move to the VMD itself. I'm documenting every step, including the warnings and will post on the list soon.

Thanks (so far...).  :-)

Hi,
  Those are errors from compiling the DESRES dtrplugin, which is not
doing anything particularly special other than that it is using the
C++ standard template library for various things.  If you cannot get
past this, an easy way to work around the problem is to edit the
plugins/molfile_plugin/Makefile and remove the "dtrplugin" items from
the STATICPLUGINS PLUGINS and ARCHIVEOBJS lists therein...  If you have
trouble with dtrplugin then you're likely to encounter issues with
maeffplugin also, and you can workaround that in the same way.

Cheers,
  John
