trying to compile external code to a lib

Started by
1 comment, last by chollida1 19 years, 4 months ago
Downloaded an external library distributed in source format with no win32 makefile. I am trying to compile it to a .lib so I don't have to include it in my project and compile every time i do a rebuild. The lib compilation went fine (inilib-1.0.6.lib), no errors. However, when linking it with my project, it goes nuts. 
Linking...

what gives? I could post source but I think its irrelevant. thanks

Off the top of my head: did you compile the lib and your application with the same C runtime options. For example, do both use the multithreaded DLL version of the C runtime library?

edit: In other words, do both use the same between the /MD, /MDd, /ML, /MLd, /MT or /MTd flags?
SiCrane is correct.

You are using the libc( C standard library ) and the msvcrt( C++ standard library ) together this is a big no-no.

I find that useing the NonThread or multithreaded DLL works best for me.
