Linker issues....

I have a linker issue. I'm just working on building a simple hello world project from three different projects. One is a .lib, the other is a .dll, and an .exe. They are build except the .exe...which is throwing a external reference error. Then when in the Linker -> General.... I add additional dependencies with johnpaul.lib and georgeringo.dll....then it says it cannot find them....

Does anyone have a clue as to how to solve a problem like this? If you need specific error messages I can rebuild it and send em' all over.

If it can't find them, you have to help it find them. There is an option for additional library directories.

Also, I believe even though georgeringo is a dll, you should still link to its lib.

Like I said I added them to the additional library directories

There are two properties that you need to set. One is the directories where the libs are located which you specify under Linker->General->Additional Library Directories. The second is the names of the libs which you should place under Linker->Input->Additional Dependencies.

BTW, I assume you are using VC++ 7.1 or 8.0?

please send the terminal output of the build process. without seeing it we can only look in our glass sphere to help you
