MSVC build failed with error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol PKEY_AudioEngine_DeviceFormat referenced

[PhoebeHui]

When I use msvc to build mane with windows x64 platform, it failed with the following two errors:

1. It emits error 'fatal error RC1015: cannot open include file 'mame.rc' in the first build, I added the '..........\scripts\resources\windows\mame;........\generated\resource;' to "AdditionalIncludeDirectories" in mametiny.vcxproj file, the error has gone.
2. Afer above error resolved, I encountered the LNK2019 error below. Could you please help take a look?

MAME version

d0f81f8

System information

Windows 11 x64

Builds fine for me if I exclude NO_USE_PORTAUDIO=1 (I also used MSBUILD=1 instead of the manual invocation). I suggest the instruction to exclude PortAudio for MSVC builds is no longer necessary.

Hi @pmackinlay, thank you for your response!

I removed 'NO_USE_PORTAUDIO=1', and execute
make SUBTARGET=tiny PTR64=1 TOOLS=1 OPTIMIZE=0 NOWERROR=1 MODERN_WIN_API=1 MSBUILD=1 vs2022 -j4, it failed with '........\generated\resource\mame_tiny_vers.rc(41): fatal error RC1015: cannot open include file 'mame.rc'. [C:\gitP\mamedev\mame\build\projects\windows\mametiny\vs2022\mametiny.vcxproj]' have you encounterred this issue?

I added the '..........\scripts\resources\windows\mame;........\generated\resource;' to "AdditionalIncludeDirectories" in mametiny.vcxproj file, the issue has gone.

Then I rebuild the project, and it builds successfully! Remove NO_USE_PORTAUDIO=1 fixing the Link error.

try adding REGENIE=1 to your make command

[PhoebeHui]

hi @grant2258, after I add REGENIE=1 to make command, the error ''........\generated\resource\mame_tiny_vers.rc(41): fatal error RC1015: cannot open include file 'mame.rc'.' still persists.

Not sure why its doing that was worth a try. Maybe someone that knows the build system better can get to the bottom of if.
