How to use visual studio 2012 express edition to build
DirectShow filters
Normally, to create a DirectX project requires
professional edition, but there are ways and workaround to allow us to use
express edition to build small projects.
- 1 Download and install visual studio 2012 express edition.
- Download and install Windows SDK v7.0
- Download and install Windows Driver Development Kit (aka WinDDK)
Note that C:\windowsSDK\v7.0\Samples\multimedia\directshow\baseclasses
has the files to build the strmbase.lib for both debug and release versions.
These library files can be statically linked to your own project. When creating
a project like this: http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/152317/DirectShow-Filters-Development-Part-1-Video-Render.
It requires WTL header files and libraries, otherwise, the code #include "atlbase.h" will cause a lot of
link errors. This is why we need WinDDK even though we are not developing any
drivers. The location of the WTL is:
Include path: C:\WinDDK\7600.16385.1\inc\atl71
Lib path: C:\WinDDK\7600.16385.1\lib\ATL\i386
Here we are building 32
bit applications. Once these path and libraries are added to the project, we
can compile and use directshow sample codes from Windows SDK. Note that there is
no need to install DirectX SDK for this.
