PNaCl - compilation error "Only Win32 target supported"

Question

I'm developing Portable Native Client application which uses some of the standard C++ libraries e.g. iostream and fstream. When I include these headers, and try to compile the project with Visual Studio 2012 Pro, many errors are thrown:

According to Native Client documentation, it is possible to use standard C++ library in PNaCl project. Has anyone encountered this problem before or knows how to resolve it?

EDIT:

@rubenvb: I don't think I am compiling for x64.. My target configuration is Debug\PNaCl.

@JF Bastien: I am using compiler that comes with SDK. The compiler invocation:

  C:\nacl_sdk\pepper_39\toolchain\win_pnacl\bin\pnacl-clang.bat -o PNaCl/newlib/Debug/decompressor_prototype.obj -DNACL -ID:/dev/hello_nacl_cpp/charls -I"C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0/VC/include" -Iinclude -Iatlmfc/include -IC:/nacl_sdk/pepper_39/toolchain/win_pnacl/usr/local/include -IC:/nacl_sdk/pepper_39/toolchain/win_pnacl/usr/include -IC:/nacl_sdk/pepper_39/toolchain/win_pnacl//lib/clang/3.4/include -IC:/nacl_sdk/pepper_39/include -fexceptions -MMD -g -O0 -c decompressor_prototype.cpp

Answer 1

tl;dr: drop most of the -I includes.

The C++ standard library does work with PNaCl, but not all implementations of it work! You're explicitly telling the compiler to use Visual Studio's standard library implementation (with the -I option) but you don't need to do this: by default the PNaCl compiler will link to libc++ (and we have legacy support for libstdc++, but I don't recommend using it).

It's not just a question of includes:

• The C++ library relies on the C library, and PNaCl assumes newlib is used (we also have experimental support for bionic, and soon glibc).
• The C++ library relies on runtime functions being linked into your program. This will happen automatically, but won't work with Visual Studio's includes because they don't have the same runtime.

I see that you're also including ATL MFC, I'm not sure that'll work either.
