unresolved external symbol

[Andy_Hollywood]

Hello

I'm having a few problems with dll's still in vc++

unresolved external symbol "__declspec(dllimport) int __stdcall InitHooksDll(struct HWND__ *,int)"

I keep getting unresolved external symbols!! even though i think (obviously not) including all the file correctly!!

could somebody have a look at my project and give me some insite!?!

would be very greatful!!

cheers in advance

Is the .lib file included in the linker options?

[Andy_Hollywood]

Yeah I think i have added it correctly, it is in the main programs settings, and it has the path to the lib?!
as well as loads of other libs that were there when i created the project!

[Wynd]

No, that's just the path the linker looks in when linking the project. Go to Project->Settings->Link tab->Object/Library modules box. You will see stuff like kernel32.lib, user32.lib, gdi32.lib, etc, add your .lib filename in there.

yep, i've done that, but it said it couldn't find the lib. So i added the path to the front of it and it gave me the 4 unresolved external symbol errors!

Try putting it in the same dir as the exe.

[Andy_Hollywood]

right i have done that, but it is still giving me the errors!

key32.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "__declspec(dllimport) int __stdcall InitHooksDll(struct HWND__ *,int)" (__imp_?InitHooksDll@@YGHPAUHWND__@@H@Z)
key32.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "__declspec(dllimport) int __stdcall PaintHooksDll(struct HDC__ *)" (__imp_?PaintHooksDll@@YGHPAUHDC__@@@Z)
key32.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "__declspec(dllimport) int __stdcall InstallFilter(int,int)" (__imp_?InstallFilter@@YGHHH@Z)
