.NET Forum / Languages / C++ Libraries / November 2005Problem Linking
Hope someone can help me with this. I'm doing a command line build. The compile goes fine, but while attempting to link, the error: LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'advapi32.lib' is generated, although I changed my Windows 2000 LIB environment variable to clearly contain the entry: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET\Vc7\PlatformSDK\Lib\ where the file resides. So, the error mystifies me and I don't know how to fix it. Can anyone help? Thanks, Ted. >LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'advapi32.lib' Can you open it in Notepad (it is a permissions problem)? Is the file corrupt? Try using dumpbin on it. Dave  SignatureMVP VC++ FAQ: http://www.mvps.org/vcfaq Hi David, Thanks for your response. I could open it without problems in Notepad. I tried dumpbin (without options) and it produced this output: ************************** File Type: Library Summary C9 .debug$8 14 .idata$2 14 .idata$3 4 .idata$4 4 .idata$5 E .idata$6 **************************** I'm not sure what to expect, but I see no obvious problems.

Thanks for your response, IV. Does your suggestion apply to a command line build? Unfortunately, I can't build it within Visual Studio, because the build is actually generated by my PTC Pro/Engineer CAD software, which relies on the compiler/linker to do structural modeling. Here are the batch commands that ProE uses: ****************************** "c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET\Vc7\bin\link.exe" -align:0x1000 -subsystem:console -entry:mainCRTStartup -force:multiple -nodefaultlib:msvcrt -nodefaultlib:msvcirt -nodefaultlib:libc -nodefaultlib:libci -out:".\i486_nt\asm0001.exe" "e:\PTC\ProENGINEER Student Edition\i486_nt\lib/mmsolver.o" "e:\PTC\ProENGINEER Student Edition\i486_nt\tmp\enva03392.o" ".\i486_nt\_asm0001.lib" "libunix.a" "advapi32.lib" "wsock32.lib" "winspool.lib" "netapi32.lib" "oldnames.lib" "kernel32.lib" "user32.lib" "gdi32.lib" "mpr.lib" "comctl32.lib" "comdlg32.lib" The above command produced the following output: Microsoft (R) Incremental Linker Version 7.00.9466 Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation.

LINK : warning LNK4108: /ALIGN specified without /DRIVER or /VXD; image may not run LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'advapi32.lib' ********************************** Hope this helps.

Thanks, Ted. >LINK : warning LNK4108: /ALIGN specified without /DRIVER or /VXD; image may >not run >LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'advapi32.lib' What happens if you remove the align option? Dave SignatureMVP VC++ FAQ: http://www.mvps.org/vcfaq Hi David, I don't have any control over how Pro/E generates its batch files, but I'll see if I can find a way to simulate what it does in the background. Unfortunately PTC doesn't even offer paid support to owners of its Student Edition of Pro/E. I'll let you know if I have any success.
