I am having a linker error LNK 2001 unresolved external symbol.My point is I do have the respective include directory added under Project Settings->C/C++->General ->Additional Include .I see that this include directory does have the header file which contains the function which is causing the error.
I also add all the lib folders under linker options->general->additional lib dependencies.
What could be going wrong? How can I trace what file is missing?

    You need more than just the library path, you need to specify the libraries explicitly. i.e something.lib
    (under Linker->Input->Additional Dependencies in VS2005)
