I also encountered the same problem.
I am using VS2013 and building the cpp-tests.
I got: error LNK1104: cannot open file ‘libcurl_imp.lib’

Any solution?

We have to wait for the Cocos2dX God to show mercy on our souls - @slackmoehrle

I’d suggest running download-deps.py and trying again.

A yes I remember when i first installed Cocos2d-x I had to install python. Since I formatted my PC i had forgot about that installation process and just used my git project . Ill install Python now and check it out

Same problem here. Cocos2d-x-3.14.1, Windows 10, Visual Studio 2015, Python 2.7.13
I ran download-deps.py and got “Not need to update!” response. Not sure how to fix.

I can test this. I was planning on getting a surface book this week. I’ll try in a virtual machine tomorrow

Thank you, FYI, I’m able to create a new project that works and builds in Visual Studio 2015 (using “cocos new -l cpp proj_name -d dir_name”).

Haven’t been able to get cpp-tests working though.

solution,
A) Enter the folder “C: \ cocos2d-x \ cocos2d-x-3.14.1 \ build”
B) cocos2d-win32.sln open with visual studio 2015

Recompile in order: click on each project recompile only the chosen project:

libbox2d
libbullet
librecast
libSpine
libcocos2d
libluacocos2d
libjscocos2d

C) can complete the tests

Lua-tests
or
Js-tests
or
Cpp-tests

I’ve attached the lib I used, I just took it from my v3.10 build into my v3.16 build. seems to work but I also ran into the issue where download-deps.py built everything but that lib.

FWIW python download-deps.py -f redownloads everything even if you’ve got it.

libcurl_imp.zip (13.6 KB)

It’s not a zip, just rename to lib
