DLL creation with Visual Studio 2017

[CMiculas]

Dear Community,

I have some troubles creating the dll file with Visual Studio 2017, and I don't have access to an older version.
I was following the steps from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BaxFLF6A8Rg&t=1025s, in order to create a DLL file for the ElasticPPcpp example.

I receive the following errors: C4996, C1083!?
I can avoid C4996 by introducing this number into the "Disable Specific Warnings", but the other error still persists?!
Any suggestions?

Yours sincerely,
Cristian

I face the same problem.
I can figure it out by selecting "Not using precompiled headers". However, other errors occur, including LNK2005, LNK1169. Still need help.

I was able to create .dll but can not use it in OpenSees.
You can create .dll by adding preprocessor definition _CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS_
and choose 32-bit platform as for some reason it cannot link the core directory when set at 64-bit platform.
and then use opensees 32-bit version to run example1.tcl. It did not run for me. If you can do inform me
