regarding compilation fatal errors C1083 and C1010

You have provided too few information to understand yor problem. There can be many causes:

File does not exist.
File, subdirectory, or disk is read-only.
No access permission for file or directory.
Not enough file handles. Close some applications and recompile.
The INCLUDE environment variable is set incorrectly.
An #include directive uses double quotation marks around a path specification, which causes the standard directories to be skipped.
You did not specify /clr and your program uses managed constructs.

It's not related to the precompiled headers (at least from what I understand) (don't know where you got that from).

Hello,

It gave me two errors at the same point

fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'StdAfx.h': No such file or directory

and on the same point it gives me the same fatal error with the following

fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'StdAfx.h': No such file or directory Error executing cl.exe.

what more informations do you require. Let me know.

Thanks

Well, looks like our posts crossed, and my guess was right.

IS there no one to help me out?

Hello,

Hello,
gave me the following errors again...now with C1010
Well... What did you change?
How do you build your project? Do you use IDE (like Visual Studio)? Or makefile?
Did you read in my previous post:

What you need to do is to open your project's properties, go to C/C++ \ Precompiled Headers node and change "Use Precompiled Header" to "No".

Now when i removed the stdafx.h file and do a clean rebuild it points to the next header file oledb.h with the same fatal error C1083.

TDB.cpp
TDB.cpp(21) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'oledb.h': No such file or directory
TDB.cpp
C:\Grade\G3500\Source\TOLEDB\TDB.cpp(21) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'oledb.h': No such file or directory
Generating Code...
Error executing cl.exe.

TDB.obj - 2 error(s), 0 warning(s)

If i removed oledb.h file then it gave me a lot errors. I have removed the use precompiled header file option the very first time.

I hope i get some answers still

thanks

How did you start your project? as an MFC-based?

I stumbled across similar problems. I was building a WIN32 aplication, not configured for handling the MFC. But at some point I needed screen output to debug, so I decided to add the stdafx.h to my program, but it didn't work. As I was tracking down the problem, I noticed that the stdafx.h file does not appear to be in the standard include directories of the project. After that I runned a search of my disk and found the stdafx files but they were of different size compared with the ones that i've used before, and simply adding the path didn't seem to work either. so I created a dummy project with MFC-support, and I copied the stdafx.h/.cpp to my project folder, and added them to my project. You must also set in the project settings that you want the MFC library linked onto you project. For me it solved the problems. I hope it helps...

greetings, Han

I have a vc++ project. I tried to insert a resource into it(a dialog). As soon as i insert it and create a new class, vs 6 automatically generates all the code.

But when i compile, it gives me the fatal error C1083.

Compiling...
TDB.cpp
C:\Grade\G3500\Source\TOLEDB\TDB.cpp(4) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'oledb.h': No such file or directory
Authentication.cpp
C:\Grade\G3500\Source\TOLEDB\Authentication.cpp(4) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'stdafx.h': No such file or directory
Generating Code...
Error executing cl.exe.

TOLEDB.dll - 2 error(s), 0 warning(s)

As one can see TDB.cpp was the already existing project and Authentication.cpp was the resource source file that i tried to insert. Now it automatically adds this stdafx.h.

Before adding the resource the TDB.cpp was able to be built. Now it gives me the fatal error on the oledb.h include statement..

need to know the settings on the project...last time when i posted another forum regarding the same issue, the various suggestions on the project settings did not work...

hope i get an answer to this issue..

Thanks
Ashwin

Have you changed the project settings for Automatically generate precompiled header?

Is this 'oledb.h' distributed with Platform SDK? Do you have the folder where it is located listed under Tools > Options > Directories > Include files ?
