Error: C4772 and Error:C2664 with HPC API sample code ...

Fri, 15 May 2009 07:24:47 Z

Hi all:

I am studying the HPC API (c++), therefore I install HPC Pack 2008 SDK (x86).

I copy the sample code from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc853436(VS.85).aspx

I use VS2005 to compile the code, and got the following errors

1>------ Rebuild All started: Project: GetNodeInCluster, Configuration: Release Win32 ------
1>Deleting intermediate and output files for project 'GetNodeInCluster', configuration 'Release|Win32'

========== Rebuild All: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 skipped ==========

I have added the include dir: C:\Program Files\Microsoft HPC Pack 2008 SDK\Lib\i386 where the Microsoft.Hpc.Scheduler.tlb and Microsoft.Hpc.Scheduler.Properties.tlb are located.

My OS is Windows XP Professional 32bit

thank you.

Seifer

Hey Seifer,
I believe this is a known issue with the SDK that should be fixed when we release our first Service Pack (coming soon!). In the meantime, our COM API developer says it should actually work if you just compile it a second time (a strange workaround, I know).

Please let us know if that helps or not!

Thanks,
Josh

Hi Josh:

If I compile again ...

only
>.\main.cpp(11) : error C4772: #import referenced a type from a missing type library; '__missing_type__' used as a placeholder
is disappeared.

I still got the error

1>.\main.cpp(189) : error C2664: 'ISchedulerNode::get_JobType' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'JobType *__w64 ' to '__missing_type__ *'
1>        Types pointed to are unrelated; conversion requires reinterpret_cast, C-style cast or function-style cast

thank you.

Seifer,
We've released SP1 now. Have you tried upgrading? I've linked below to the Service Pack (install on your client and cluster nodes) and to the refreshed SDK. These should include fixes to the problems you saw; please post again if you still have a problem. Starting a new thread might be a good idea to make sure we see it :-)
