"error LNK2019: unresolved external sym..." after porting SDKFilehelper function from CS4 to CS3

The following code is running with Indesign CS4:
#include "SDKFileHelper.h"
SDKFileSaveChooser filesaveChooser;filesaveChooser.ShowDialog();
It doesn't compile with Indesign SDK CS3, i get a LNK2019 unresolved external symbol for every call of ::SDKFileHelper.
Any suggestions?

Thank you very much, compiled successfully!

Error LNK2019; unresolved external symbol _SDL_SetVideoMode

I had included SDL2-2.0.3 and i have copied the .dll files and did all the setup for the sdl in the directories and linker, but i get these errors....

SDL is not a Microsoft or standard library. You should check with people that know the library, but the errors make it look like you are omitting a .lib file.

Hi, i'm still newbie with Oracle 10g and VC8. The problem is i found this LNK2019 error when build my project. Here the steps i take when run VC8 for the first time:
(1). In PROJECT->PROPERTIES->CONFIGURATION PROPERTIES->C/C++->ADDITIONAL INCLUDE, i add the "C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\db_1\OCI\include"
(2). In PROJECT->PROPERTIES->CONFIGURATION PROPERTIES->LINKERS->ADDITIONAL LIBRARY, i add the c:\oracle\product\10.1.0\db_1\OCI\lib\MSVC\vc8 (i've downloaded the OCI for vc8)
(3). I make new project with 1 cpp page with this code:
#include <iostream>
#include <occi.h>
using namespace oracle::occi;
using namespace std;
int main (void)
Environment *env = Environment::createEnvironment();

I'm not very new to C++, but I'm new to Visual Studio and working with C++ in MS environment. I'm experiencing the same problem using

I've performed the exact steps in this post and I still receive the link error after performing all the steps identified with the exception that I performed them with respect to the 11gR2 libs & I'm using the libs / includes from this database's home.
I'm sure that I'm missing something trivial, but I'm at a loss to determine what it is. Your assistance in these matters is greatly appreciated.

Error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol

Hi there,
I'm trying to instantiate a Factory object to then get a SchemaValidator from createSchemaValidator.
Here's the code snippet:
Tools::Factory<?, Element> *myFactory = new Tools::Factory<? ,Element>();
SchemaValidator<Element> *mySchemaValidator = myFactory->createSchemaValidator(SchValidatorIdType::SchValCXml, NULL);
Basically, I can't seem to find the right template argument which is supposed to be of type "Context" but I can't figure it out. I tried using "xmlctx" but that leads to the following compiling error:
Error 106 error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: class OracleXml::Parser::SchemaValidator<class Element> * __thiscall OracleXml::Tools::Factory<struct xmlctx,class Element>::createSchemaValidator(enum OracleXml::Parser::SchValidatorIdType,struct xmlctx *)" (?createSchemaValidator@?$Factory@Uxmlctx@@VElement@@@Tools@OracleXml@@QAEPAV?$SchemaValidator@VElement@@@Parser@3@W4SchValidatorIdType@53@PAUxmlctx@@@Z) referenced in function _main TestCppXDK1.obj
I verified I linked my project to oraxml10.lib.
Help?
Thanks!

However I got this error while compiling my code.

Am I lacking something or are there some bad settings in my project?
I am using Windows 7 and Visual Studio 2013, and created my code in ATL project.
Any help and comments are appreciated. Thank you!!!

Hi MrCapybara,
Since you got this issue when compiling my code which seems that this issue is related to your project, and this forum is to discuss and ask questions about the
Visual Studio Debugging tools, Visual Studio Profiler tools, and Visual Studio Ultimate IntelliTrace.
For development issue about C++, I would recommend you post it in C++ forum to get dedicated supports, you could post another thread there.

Yes, it looks like linking problem,...but for me everything seems set-up.
- Included header files (from instantclient-sdk-windows.x64-11.2.0.3.0.zip)
- Included library path from OCCI download (11.2.0.3.0)
- Added oraocci11d.lib in linker
Please, what am I doing wrong?
Millions of thanks for any kind of feedback ;-)

Have you succeeded? I tried vs2012 and it passed compilation, but gave the run-time error of _crtisvalidheappointer. But the same code runs well with vs2010. I think Oracle needs to publish the new patch for vs2012

C++ Kinect SDK: error LNK2019 unresolved external symbol

I'm receiving the message "error: LNK2019" error when I attempt to run a basic C++ Kinect program. I am running Windows 7 32bit with the Kinect SDK 1.0 and developing in Visual Studio 2010. The included Skeletal Viewer sample works correctly,
so I believe my problem lies in the project configuration. I tried comparing my project config to the sample's, but I can't find any differences so I thought I'd open this up to the forums. Is there any missing or incorrect information that I'm
not seeing? Or is there some other configuration I should be checking?
Thank you in advance.

Is kinect10.lib listed among the libraries in your project's properties, under Linker | Input | Additional Dependencies?
If not, that is the likely cause for the errors.

That was it! Thank you for the quick response and the clear directions.
Since I see you're with Microsoft, I'd like to point out this step was missing from the set up instructions that come with the SDK installation. This guide says to link kinect10.lib by linking
$(KINECTSDK10_DIR)\lib\x86; As we saw here, that's not quite the same thing!

yeah I checked it but it was set as you said. another interesting thing is I can access "pi" variable in math library. ex:

Here is the code piece. I have only one file in my MSVS project.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
The link to the following include path has been added by two ways in Microsoft Visual Studio 2008.
C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\CVI2013\toolslib\toolbox
(1) [menu bar, Tools -> Options -> Projects and Solutions -> VC++ Directories -> Include files
(2) [menu bar, Project -> Configuration Properties -> C/C++ -> General -> Additional Include Directories
"cvisupp.lib" and "cviwmain.lib" are added to linker input. I cannot find this one in my NI folders "cvirte.dll".
In my MSVS project, add "cvixml.c" to the Source Files folder and "cvixml.obj" to the Resource Files folder.
With the above settings, it ends up with the following compilation error.
If we roll back to the initial code in the beginning of this discussion thread, we probably just miss one lib file or a few which contains CVIWindows XML function tree.

Why? What should the compiler complain about? _tmain is a perfectly valid function name - it's just not a name that the linker expects as the program's entrypoint.

I hope the syntax of the command is correct, if not, please let me know. All the unresolved methods are supposed to be in the library files (.lib) located in the "NewLogon\lib" folder. I am not positive about that assumption, is there a way to look at a .lib file and make sure that the methods are defined correctly?
Any help is greatly appreciated and thanks in advance.

I am having the same errors, can anyone provide some help with this?

LNK2019 unresolved external symbol issue

Hello,
i checked the thread https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/11977b92-0077-4ff8-be36-e04e3f6c36aa/error-lnk2019-unresolved-external-symbol?forum=vcgeneral
I added extern "C", but it still didn't work.
May i know how to fix it?

Hi Simon,
i added extern "C" before all function5, but the error still persisted and error message is the same like:
Error 1

This testing code is for testing different scenario such like AV, breakpoint exception (for debug pratice).
I compared other functions, which haven't any error and no need to decorate with extern "C".
May i know the reason for that?

LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _RfcOpenEx

Hi,
i downloaded the SAP RFC SDK 7.20 unicode (Windows Server on IA32 32bit)
opened VisualStudio 2010
created new MFC dialog based project
added additional include directories (linked to SDK folder)
added additional library folders (also linked to SDK directory)
added librfc32u.lib;libsapucum.lib as additional dependency
added #include "saprfc.h"
put some code into the project
void CsaprfcsdkDlg::OnBnClickedButton1()
     RFC_HANDLE rfc_handle;
     RFC_ERROR_INFO_EX rfc_err_inf_ex;
     rfc_handle = RfcOpenEx("",&rfc_err_inf_ex);
and tried to compile ... the result is an error that the external symbol RfcOpenEx is unresolved.
1>------ Build started: Project: saprfcsdk, Configuration: Debug Win32 -

========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========
Anyone has an idea what i am doing wrong ?
I have a Win7 64Bit running but i also tried it on VS2003 and WinXP ... but got the same error.
Thanks for your hints.

Hey Bernhard,
i made a test and this test was successful. It is more or less a workaround but maybe it helps.
I used the non unicode SDK and opened a RFC connection, called a self written function to retrieve data.
After calling the RfcCallReceiveEx i made a MultibyteToWideChar to convert all the received stuff to utf-8.
Before the conversion i got this:
el. Nr.: 00xxxxxxxxxxx

     Firma-Nr.:     0003010048
     Person-Nr:     0003010069
After the conversion i got this : (don't wonder first name is a test with asian characters)
http://www.l2server.de/unicode.jpg
I would imagine when you make an Widechartomultibyte before sending information to the SAP system you could receive the correct input also.
Maybe this will help you to.
Regards Frank

I'm getting this "error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _niFgen_SendSoftwareTrigger@4" when I try to make any CNiFgen object.

Hi, I have a working project that has a few classes using the NI5411 APIs and now I want to use CNiFgen classes. After adding Core Components(Advanced Analysis, Common) and NI Device Instrument Drivers(NiFgen) from the Measurement Studio Components Wizard. Even when I try to make an object of CNiFgen(CNiFgen cnf I get the following error:
--------------------Configuration: puzzle - Win32 Debug--------------------
Linking...
NiFgenInterfaceD.lib(NiFgenImpl.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _niFgen_SendSoftwareTrigger@4
Output/puzzle.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
Error executing link.exe.
puzzle.exe
- 2 error(s), 0 warning(s)
My APIs version is working fine and so are these CNiFgen classes(I have tried then for a dummy project). But, things start getting nasty when I try to integrate them.
Regards,
Vaibhav.

It looks like you have a typical linking error in VC++. Have you made sure that all of the necessary .lib files are properly linked to?
Also, are you passing any data between your custom classes and the niFGEN classes? These will take different data types unless you have already type cast all of them to work properly together. If they don't share variables, you should be okay.

Linker error: error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp_printf

On a newly installed compiler, Visual Studio 2013, I get some linker error:
Sample program (for test):
#include <stdio.h>
int main ()
printf("Help");
return 0;
I get some linker errors:

Error 3 error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol mainCRTStartup F:\ug_info\indices\Project1\Project1\LINK Project1
I thinks there is a configuration issue..
Any suggestions?

Hi Camiel.Rys,
Thanks for posting in MSDN forum.
Error 3 error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol mainCRTStartup F:\ug_info\indices\Project1\Project1\LINK Project1
I would guess that you may create a wrong project template. Could you try to create a new Win32 Console project following this document?
