Thread: unresolved external linker crap

hi,
i am trying to compile this example http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...21(VS.85).aspx but i get this link errors:
unresolved external 'EnumProcesses' referenced ...
unresolved external 'EnumProcessesModules' referenced ...
unresolved external 'GetModuleFileNameExA' referenced ...

i'm using the borland c++ comandline compiler with this options:
-W
-ID:\devlopment\BCC55\INCLUDE
-ID:\devlopment\BCC55\INCLUDE\SYS
-ID:\devlopment\BCC55\INCLUDE\RW
-LD:\devlopment\BCC55\LIB
-LD:\devlopment\BCC55\LIB\PSDK
(D:\devlopment\BCC55\LIB\PSDK contains the PSAPI.LIB)

i think u need to explicitly specify psapi.lib as a dependency.

-W
-ID:\devlopment\BCC55\INCLUDE
-ID:\devlopment\BCC55\INCLUDE\SYS
-ID:\devlopment\BCC55\INCLUDE\RW
-LD:\devlopment\BCC55\LIB\PSDK
-LD:\devlopment\BCC55\LIB
-LD:\devlopment\BCC55\LIB\PSDK\pkpd32.lib

doesnt work too
or what do you mean?

That is true. And then, later, there is another command (-l, maybe?), which allows you to specify the .obj files you actually need to use.

i think i know what you are meaning, now. >it needs an explicitly dependency ...<

but i can't found such option:

Well, hm. Try -lpkpd32.lib -- after all, you want that file to be passed off to the linker, and you've got the paths set so it should find it I guess.

-l is not a valid option

But ... but ... I got it off the list you posted. If you're using the linker proper, rather than having the compiler hand it off, then try just using the filename itself, without any options.

No I meant small l. It was on the compiler list. Try it without any prefix, just "pkwhatever.lib" on the command line and see what happens.

ah -l is for passing linker options through the compiler

I'm suggesting it because that's what all the compilers I know do. gcc does it, and so does MS I think -- just put an .obj file or a .lib file or a .o file on the command line and it will get linked in.
