I have inherited a VC++ solution and from one project (named “IntersonWinDriver”) I’m trying to link to a .lib file that is generated by a different project (named “Utility”). I noticed that in a different project, named “MasterVu”, I found “Utility.lib” included among the linker command line options.
In order to duplicate this for the IntersonWinDriver project, under the properties window I selected Configuration Properties->C/C++->General. I added the folder containing the code for the Utility project under the “Additional Include Directories” option. I then added the Utility project as one of the project dependencies for IntersonWinDriver.
The problem is that when I look at the linker command line options, I don’t see any reference to Utility.lib as with the MasterVu project. I could manually add a reference to Utility.lib under Configuration Properties->Linker->Input, but I would rather not. What am I missing here?
As you may guess, I’m getting an unresolved external symbol error due to any reference in IntersonWinDriver to code written under the Utility project.
Hmm…I see that under Common Properties->Framework and References I can add the Utility project. Now I feel silly for asking this question too soon…
