DLL error

[barakobama]

When I run my application, I got the following message:

"This application has failed to start because netcdf.dll was not found.

Re-installing the application may fix this problem."

I want to use static library not dll and I did set it up properly as you see

in the Linker line as below. The library is "netcdf.lib" not "netcdf.dll".

What am I doing wrong?

Please look at the line I marked as "<==".

Linker Command line:
/OUT:"C:myappmysrc32-VS2005Win32Releasemy32.exe"
/INCREMENTAL:NO /NOLOGO

It is probable that netcdf.lib is not a static library, but is instead an "export library" (also called "import library") that is created when a DLL is built. When you want to link to DLL libraries, you link to the export library .lib and not to a DLL (one cannot link to a DLL directly.)

So your application is dependent on netcdf.dll which is not found in the places Windows wants to see it (directory containing the EXE, default directory, PATH, etc.) You'll need to make sure that netcdf.dll is available.
