I'm trying to run c++ windows application using casablanca 'c++ rest sdk' for REST requests. I've created new 'CLR Empty Project' (visual studio 2012) and added new item - 'Windows Form'. added some code and was able to see a form when running the projects. now, I have installed the c++ rest sdk using NuGet, as the instructions tell. it all went successfully. the problem is that in order to use the 'c++ rest sdk' I've added these:

#include <cpprest/http_client.h>
#include <cpprest/filestream.h>

and it doesn't find those files. I'm getting

fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'cpprest/http_client.h': No   such file or directory

Project screenshot: project screenshot

thanks!

you have to include this path :

C:\YourProject\packages\cpprestsdk.v140.windesktop.msvcstl.dyn.rt-dyn.2.8.0\build\native\include

and:

C:\YourProject\packages\cpprestsdk.v140.windesktop.msvcstl.dyn.rt-dyn.2.8.0\lib

I've got the same issue after I added the NuGet package. The include and lib folders are not linked automatically as the description says.

Check if you have set up the include directories for the headers. You can do it under project properties -> Configuration Properties -> C/C++ -> General -> Additional Include Directories.

  • it's empty. when clicking 'edit' I see empty list and "Inherit from parent..." is checked. what supposed to be there? – user2880391 Apr 15 '15 at 20:56

    You have to add the directory where the "cpprest" folder is. That way, the compiler would know where to search for cpprest/http_client.h. The #include searches in the additional include directories, and the #include "xxxxx.h" searches in the current project directory only. – Goshutu Apr 15 '15 at 21:07
  • thanks. it actually helped. but then I ran into other problem. thanks anyway. – user2880391 Apr 16 '15 at 18:20
  • In case a user is using Qt as a development environment, you need to add the path to the "cpprestsdk_xx-XX" in your .pro file for both "include" and "lib" folder of "cpprestsdk" or to your properties file in case you are using any other development env. – Srijan Chaudhary May 26 '20 at 04:57

I have faced the same problems like you. Even i set my project properties manually, i could see linking errors.

And i could find an article on their official forum.

Yes, we've removed VS 2012 binaries from the package. I recommend trying out VS 2015 community, which can be downloaded for free from: https://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/download-visual-studio-vs.

I have tested it on the same way on VS2015 community IDE. The package is working perfectly.

  • and also you have to notice that they are not offering static libraries. therefore, your application is needed to be set 'MD/MDd'. – Seung-Min Jung Sep 28 '16 at 21:17
