Hi Jersey,

I haven’t tried to build Touchlib in VS2010 but I don’t see any particular issues why it wouldnt work. Just make sure you build it in win32 mode and get OpenCV 1.0.

The correct URL works fine here:
http://code.google.com/p/touchlib/

Is Visual Studio 2010 a go ? Couldn’t find 2005. The url for “http://touchlib.googlecode” come’s back as no content avialable. Is that an old link ? Is there another link for this ?

@Mark: Please carefully follow the steps at “Setting environment variables”, I would also recommend downloading OpenCV 1.0 as I don’t know if the current version (2.0) is compatible with Touchlib

Is cvcam necessary?
The latest openCV is remove cvcam.
Is the latest touchlib updata?

excuse me, my English is so bad.

Its probably an issue related to the order of the include and library directories. You could try out the suggestion of Jean.

Thank you for the instructions.
But when i compile the toulib,i get the same error as Richard Z says,there are lots of errors in â€œC:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.1\Include\intsafe.h(1278) : error C2061 ..â€ .
I have done following the instructions.
can u give some suggestions? thanks.

To Sim:
Maybe you could try to change the sequence in include directory and library directoryã€‚Making them in the front.

Thank you for the instructions.
I have compiled the solution.sln in VS2005. but press F5
Pop-up a dailog “Application or DLL c:\multitouch\bin\touchlibd.dll is invalid Windows image.Please check your disk.. “

Hi I am getting a lot of compile errors with refclock.h
I am using VS2008 btw but that should make no odds…
