[Seqan-dev] Problem using SeqAn with VS11

Matthias Loose <studium@mindcode.de> · Fri, 10 May 2013 13:20:36 +0200

Hello,

I wanted to use SeqAn without the provided build system for just a 

couple functions in a Project. Im using Visual Studio 11 right now and 

according to this site:

http://trac.seqan.de/wiki/BuildManual/IntegrationWithYourOwnBuildSystem

all I need to do is include the seqan/include directory which I have 

done to a new Project. To test it Im using this file:

#include <iostream>
#include <seqan/sequence.h>  // CharString, ...
#include <seqan/file.h>      // to stream a CharString into cout

int main(int, char const **)
{
std::cout << "Hello World!" << std::endl;
seqan::CharString mySeqanString = "Hello SeqAn!";
std::cout << mySeqanString << std::endl;
return 1;
}

Unfortunatly I get a lot of errors on build time. I attached the output 

to this message. If I build the "first_app" using the provided build 

system it builds fine, but for now Id rather juts use Seqan in my 

already started project and the prospect of just adding seqan to my 

includes seemes really nice.

Any help would be appreciated.
