Hi,

I'm writing a .dll in VS.NET 2003.

I've got a problem getting the .dll to link. The answer appears to lie in
the order that the libraries link:

type the following two libs

> MSVCRTD.lib, mfcs42d.lib (order doesn't matter _here_)
> - Now in the edit box labeled "Object/Library Modules" type the following two libs
> mfcs42d.lib, MSVCRTD.lib
> MAKE SURE THEY ARE IN THIS ORDER AND THEY ARE LISTED AS THE

FIRST & SECOND LIBS IN THE EDIT BOX

I can set the "Ignore Libraries" OK but I can't where to set the
"Object/Library Modules".

Where do I do this in VS.NET 2003?

Cheers,

Chris

Are you using a Solution? If so, you can right click on the solution from
the Solution Explorer and set dependencies...This will allow you to control
the build order of the solution.
