how to link .lib file to project - 6/30/2005 9:38:39 AM

hello,

I need to link a .lib file to a project. I tried just: 'Project-->Add to Project-->Files...' but don't think it worked because I got a bunch of linker errors: "...unresolved external symbols...". I also looked at the Link tab in the: 'Project-->Settings..." but wasn't sure which options to use-- category? project options?... I tried just typing in the file name (dataqcf2.lib) in the 'object/library modules' line, but got the error: "cannot open dataqcf2.lib". I moved dataqcf2.lib into the same folder as the workspace and then started getting the same "...unresolved external symbols..." errors again.

In short: how do I link a .lib file to a project?

thanks,
Luan

Hi,
Project>Settings then the links tab, and add it into the object/library modules box

thanks-- I appreciate the reply.

I'm still getting "unresolved external symbols" for functions that I think are in that library, but I think I just need to wait to (hopefully) hear back from the company that provided the library.
