Fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file"OLDNAMES.LIB

Question

Hello, everybody.
My problem is :'fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file "OLDNAMES.LIB"'
Somebody can help me?
Thanks a lot for your assistance.
I tried to passe a C structure between Forte and C.
I taked the exemple of forté : technote ID : 10637.
We use Forte 3.0.j.1 and I try the example on a NT4 server.
There are several projects that make up this application. They are as follows:
StructExampleGUI - This is this project. It is the GUI front
(File: StructGu.Pex) end that calls the C wrapper.
StructSharedObjects - This project defines the Employee object
(File: StructSh.Pex) that is needed for both the GUI and
for the StructExampleServices project.
StructExampleServices - This project defines the StructExample
(File: StructSO.Pex) services object. This is a restricted
project whose purpose is to actually call
the C project.
StructExampleProject - This is the External C Project that defines
(File: Struct.Pex) the interface necessary for Forte to generate
the wrapper code needed to call the C file.
StructEX.c - This is the C code that is being wrappered. It
has one function getemployee that modifies an
input output structure. The memory allocation is
done by Forte in the StructExampleServices
project.
First of all, I compile the StructEx.C
After, in the Struct.pex, I set the parameter :
HAS PROPERTY
CompatibilityLevel = 0;
ProjectType = LIBRARY;
Restricted = TRUE;
MultiThreaded = TRUE;
LibraryName = 'struct';
extended = (Externalincludedirectories='e:/Pgmprod/cpp/50/include
e:/Pgmprod/cpp/50/lib',
ExternalObjectFiles = 'O:/Herve/ForteAPI/structex');
I load the struct.pex.
Double click on the StructExampleProject
File:Configure As:Library
Make distibution and select Full make, Install in current Environment & Auto
Compile
When I tried this in the first time, I has a probleme with struct.bom. I
resolved
that. (technote 11431:Autocompile on NT fails to build the compiled partition)
But now, I'm another problem (see below) and I don't find the solution.
Somebody can help me? Thanks a lot for your assistance.
