[Gmsh] Having problems linking gmsh sdk libraries

[Max Orok]

Hello Longhui,

Not a VS expert but have you tried using the cwrap versions of these files?
I got it to work on Windows with that method.
It is explained nicely here:
https://gitlab.onelab.info/gmsh/gmsh/tree/master/api

The following is taken from the relevant readme.md file:

"The additional file `gmsh.h_cwrap' redefines the C++ API in terms of the C
API.
This is provided as a convenience for users of the binary Gmsh SDK whose C++
compiler ABI is not compatible with the ABI of the C++ compiler used to
create
the SDK. To use these C++ bindings of the C API instead of the native C++
API,
simply rename `gmsh.h_cwrap' as `gmsh.h'. Note that this will lead to
(slightly)
reduced performance compared to using the native Gmsh C++ API, as it entails
additional data copies between the C++ wrapper, the C API and the native C++
code."

The libgmsh.dll is essential for sure, not sure about the .lib. I also had
to put the gmsh-3.0.dll in the same folder as my executable.
And if not, there's always Python!

Good luck!
