How to link from a main project to a static library project

[hendersonstr]

I created two IVF projects ina vs2003 solution:

1. a static library project and
2. a console project that call a subroutinecontained inthat static library.

I tried everything from specifying project dependencies to additional dependencies, etc, but can't get this work. Somebody please take a quick look. Thanks.

You're being misled by unfortunate wording in the error message. The problem is not linking, it's that the compiler can't see the .mod file created by the static library project. Unfortunately, making a project depend on another does not automatically add the subproject's INCLUDE path. So you must do that manually. In the main project, specify the subproject's Debug (or Release) folder under Additional Include Directories.

Steve, thanks. Problem solved. Are these tricks documented somewhere?

Hmm. No, it would appear. I'll see what we can do about that. At a minimum, I'll write some FAQ articles for our support site.
