Kinect Audio with Kinect SDK and C++

I'm getting linker errors when trying to use Kinect Audio Data using C++.

I looked at the programmers guide here.

But it does not provide any details as to which header files to include or which libraries to compile the code with.

I included the following headers - 

#include <Dmo.h>
#include <Wmcodecdsp.h>
#include <uuids.h>
#include <propsys.h>

Now I get a linker error saying - 

error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _FORMAT_WaveFormatEx
error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _MEDIASUBTYPE_PCM
error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _MEDIATYPE_Audio
error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _MoInitMediaType@8 referenced in function _main
error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _IID_IMediaObject

What should I link my project with?

Solution

  • To resolve linker issues you throw .libs in:

    • strmiids.lib - generic DirectShow symbols
    • dmoguids.lib, msdmo.lib - DMO related
    • wmcodecdspuuid.lib - Vista+ DMO/DSP related

    C++ code:

    #pragma comment(lib, "strmiids.lib")
#pragma comment(lib, "dmoguids.lib")
#pragma comment(lib, "msdmo.lib")
#pragma comment(lib, "wmcodecdspuuid.lib")
