include and Input when compiling & linking

[Mike896]

Hi

I build a project which will include and link some libraries.

In compiling (Fortran->preprocessor->additional include directories),

The paths are seaparted by ';' (not blank).

In lnking(Linker->input->additinal dependencies)

The paths are separated by blank (but not ';').

Really confusing.

Is anyway to get away with this?

Hi

What is the difference between "Linker->General->Additional Library directories" and "Linker->Input->additional dependencies"?

I move the settings in the latter to those in the former, then the results show :

unresoved external symbol (lots of them).

Thank you for your reply in advance.

Mike,
"Additional dependencies" is a list of libs against which your code is linked.
"Additional library directories" is a list of the directories to search where the above libs are to be found.

I agree this is confusing, but unfortunately this was Microsoft's design. On the Linker page, the text you enter is plopped directly into the link line, which wants spaces as separators. On the compiler page, you're entering a list which gets converted into individual options. You'll see this in other Microsoft dialogs as well,
