MSVC++ .NET 2003 -- Link Problem, What To Do?
Author
Hi all,
I just setup MSVC++ .NET 2003 on my system. I get the following link error when I build/rebuild my project or sulution:
LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libci.lib'
The project worked before on MSVC++ 6.0. I browsed the lib folder and noticed that no such file exists, although there are similarly named files such as libcp.lib.
I appreciate any suggestions, thanks. :)
IIRC, this can happen if you use some of the pre-standard headers. Get rid of stuff like <iostream.h>, <fstream.h> etc and replace them with their h-less replacements.

Arild Fines -- Thanks for the suggestion, but I already use the .h-less headers. Although, I am using DirectX 8 headers with DirectX 8 libs but with a compiler that may be (?) expecting DirectX 9? I'll experiment when I get a chance this weekend. Thanks again. :)
Do you use any 3rd party libraries? Died you delete the output directory and try a complete rebuild?

VolkerG -- I don't use any 3rd party libraries (yet). And yes, I did rebuild from scratch. But thanks anyway. :)
Ranor -- I tried your suggestion, and it linked without errors, thanks much. :)
I wonder, though, what that library does, and if this solution will cause future problems that go undetected? Anybody know what libci.lib does, exactly?

libci.lib contains the single threaded implementation for <iostream.h> according to this page.. That header and library isn't supported at all in VS2003.

Arild Fines -- It is strange that I use the h-less headers and still the compiler looks for this old library. Thanks much. :)
