Linker Errors...

Hi,

I am trying out some simple stuff on C... I am trying to run them in MS Visual studio 6.0 on Windows... For every small function that I add to my program, I get a linker error (and not a compilation error...)


Eg: For the part of the code below:

Code:

#include<process.h> 
#include<stdlib.h> 
#include<stdio.h> 
#include <time.h> 
int main() { 
//.... some code or nothing 
sleep( 1000 ); 
printf("\n %s",getdate()); 
//.... some code or nothing 
}

I get the errors:

Code:

Linking... 
Thread_Run_Tests.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _sleep 
Thread_Run_Tests.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _getdate 
Debug/Thread_Run_Tests.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 2 unresolved externals 
Error executing link.exe.

Please tell me if I have missed out in specifying some compiler/linker option in visual Studio... Or else, if you could tell me how to compile with options on cmd prompt, even that is fine!

Thanks a lot guys,

Try including windows.h, and using Sleep(1000) instead (notice the capital s). Also, I think you need to read up on how getdate() works.

yeah... I tried Sleep() and included <windows.h>... There was no change in the results though

I think getdate() is a POSIX function that doesn't work in MSVC.

From google I found this page, which suggests getdate() is POSIX.
