A "LINK : fatal error LNK1255" Problem.
I am using Visual Studio 2005 C++ environment to work with a Windows Form Project.
I am working on a simple mini-game using game objects (game field, monsters, etc.) detailed in some classes which are collected in a library file. This library file also uses a DirectX object to allow multiple sounds to be played at the same time.
The Project can be built successfully. When I start the game using "Start without debugging" after the building process is completed, it works everything working as planned. Same with "Start with debugging". Perfect. The following is the log.

========== Rebuild All: 1 succeeded, 0 failed, 0 skipped ==========
Now I want to make a "Release" version so that my friends without VS2005 can also play the game files. The game files can also be downsized. (If I send them with all the whole project files, it would be very clumsy). I use the lower row of the 2 rows in the "Build->Batch Build". It shows "Release|Win32" in the column "Solution Config". I then click Build.
Then, I see such things in the building log:

The linking has failed.
I have googled but I still can't figure out what has happened. Are my libraries too old?
Any opinions are welcomed.

This error is hard to be eliminated....
Re: A "LINK : fatal error LNK1255" Problem.
This error message sounds like you are mixing managed and unmanaged code or/and libraries in your release build.
Try to compare debug and release options. Or, perhaps, just create a new VC++ (native!) project and compare release settings with it!
Re: A "LINK : fatal error LNK1255" Problem.
I now recompile my library. The old game objects library is compiled in the debug mode. Now I recompile it in the release mode. The error msg change to "error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol"

Re: A "LINK : fatal error LNK1255" Problem.
P.S. The game object library is recompiled in the release mode without errors. I use this release version library to recompile the main game with the above log.
Re: A "LINK : fatal error LNK1255" Problem.
You seem to forget adding this "library" to the list of .lib/.obj files for the linking.

The newly recompiled library file has replaced the old debug mode library file in the folder of the solution.

So, now it links OK. Doesn't it?

No.
I mean I use Batch Build in the game library project to build the Release build of the library file. This is OK, and then I put the Release version of the lib file into the main game project folder, replacing the old Debug version. Then I try to build the Release build of the main game project.
And the above log is obtained.
Re: A "LINK : fatal error LNK1255" Problem.
Sorra, I cannot help you with the porblem in *batch* build.
Why don't you want to build it from within IDE? :confused:

The problem is now solved. I check the project settings in both debug and release modes and I find some differences. I notice that the game lib project is without Pure MSLI Common Language Runtime support. I turn it on and rebuild the game lib and use it to rebuild the main game project, which is intriguingly with Pure MSLI in release mode. The building is OK! I get simple files in release mode and they work!
Anyway, you inspired me. Thanks a lot!
