Hi all,

I'm trying to static link a .LIB file (the ZLib zlibstat.lib file to be
exact) to a VC++ app. I have the correct LIB file and I've added the header
file and #pragma comment(lib, "zlibstat.lib") line to my code. But I keep
getting errors like this:

imp_title error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _inflateEnd referenced
in function "private: int __thiscall CZipFile::inf(struct _iobuf *,struct
_iobuf *)" (?inf@CZipFile@@AAEHPAU_iobuf@@0@Z)
imp_title error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _inflate referenced in
function "private: int __thiscall CZipFile::inf(struct _iobuf *,struct
_iobuf *)" (?inf@CZipFile@@AAEHPAU_iobuf@@0@Z)
imp_title error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _inflateInit_ referenced
in function "private: int __thiscall CZipFile::inf(struct _iobuf *,struct
_iobuf *)" (?inf@CZipFile@@AAEHPAU_iobuf@@0@Z)

Anyone have any ideas what could be causing this? Thanks!

Is the path of zlibstat.lib in your LIB path? Maybe it is not found by the
linker

Bye,

Hi SvenC,

Yes I moved it to the same directory with the project source files. I also
tried moving it to a sub-directory under the project and using #pragma
comment(lib, "subdirectory\\zlibstat.lib"). There's something funky going
on here, but I can't put my finger on it. I'm thinking it might have
something to do with the fact that the zlibstat.lib source is C and maybe
the wrong calling conventions (__stdcall, __cdecl, etc.) are being used...
I've tried different calling conventions, but no luck so far...

It's a little aggravating and I might just keep searching for a different
zip library. Know of any good, free, zip file extraction libraries
(unmanaged)?

Thanks
