    error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol

    Hi Friends,

    I am new to C++,I am creating a dll to use in JAVA.
    when i am creating a dll file at compilation i am getting the following error....
    Any one please help me in this regard..........


    Creating library sparsha_Reader.lib and object sparsha_Reader.exp
    sparsha_Reader.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "__declspec(dllim
    port) void __cdecl ConnectDevice(char *,char *)" (__imp_?ConnectDevice@@YAXPAD0@
    Z) referenced in function _Java_sparsha_CardReader_CardReadering@8
    sparsha_Reader.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "__declspec(dllim
    port) void __cdecl DisconnectDevice(char *)" (__imp_?DisconnectDevice@@YAXPAD@Z)
    referenced in function _Java_sparsha_CardReader_stopCardReader@8
    sparsha_Reader.dll : fatal error LNK1120: 2 unresolved externals

    Re: error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol

    Linker cannot find ConnectDevice and DisconnectDevice functions implementation. There are only function prototypes. For example:

    Code:
    void ConnectDevice(char*, char*);
    void DisconnectDevice(char*, char*);
    
    int main()
    {
        ConnectDevice("1", "2");
        DisconnectDevice("1", "2");
    }
    Such program compiles, but linker gives unresolved external symbol error.

    Re: error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol

    Thanks
    in my header file i declared as
    typedef public char *LPCSTR; // 1byte
    typedef char *DWORD; //4bytes

    DLL_API VOID ConnectDevice( LPCSTR, DWORD);
    DLL_API VOID DisconnectDevice( LPCSTR);

    In my cpp file i useed as

    JNIEXPORT void JNICALL Java_sparsha_CardReader_CardReadering
    (JNIEnv *, jobject){
    char *argv[]={"port=COM1"};
    char *argvs[]={"baudrate=38400"};
    cout<<"Starting cctalk application event manager with caRD\n";
    ConnectDevice( *argv, *argvs);

    }
    JNIEXPORT void JNICALL Java_sparsha_CardReader_stopCardReader
    (JNIEnv *, jobject)
    {
    char *argv[]={"COM1"};
    cout<<"ENDING cctalk application event manager with caRD\n";
    DisconnectDevice( *argv);
    }


    is this correct?
    it is not working....

    Take a look in MSDN at Linker Tools Error LNK2019.

    Re: error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol

    Function exported from Dll, should be defined as __declspec(dllexport). In the client project it should be defined as __declspec(dllimport). This is usually done by defining some precompiler constant in the Dll project, and conditional definition, which is expanded as __declspec(dllexport) in the Dll project, and __declspec(dllimport) in the client project.
    To see how it is done, create new Win32 Dll using Visual Studio Application Wizard, and check "Exports symbols" on one of Wizard steps. Created project shows how to export functions and classes from Dll properly.

    Hi
    I am having ICM330_0170DLL.h,ICM330_0170DLL.dll and ICM330_0170DLL.lib files given by my customer now to get a new dll based on these files.I worte a new cpp file as .....
    #define NOMINMAX

    #ifdef WIN32
    #include <windows.h>
    #include <crtdbg.h>
    #endif



    #include <time.h>
    #include <iostream>
    #include <limits>
    #include <vector>
    #include <math.h>
    #include <cstdio>

    #include <jni.h>

    #include "sparsha_CardReader.h"


    #include "ICM330_0170DLL.h"

    using namespace std;


    #undef RANDOMLY_REJECT_BILLS
    #undef ASK_ABOUT_BILLS
    #undef IGNORE_ESCROW_EVENTS

    // Global variables:

    static char *upload_filename = NULL;
    static int amount=0;
    static string str="good";
    jclass cls;
    jfieldID fid;
    jint flag;
    JNIEnv *env;
    jobject obj;
    jstring objst;

    JNIEXPORT void JNICALL Java_sparsha_CardReader_CardReadering
    (JNIEnv *, jobject){
    char *argv[]={"port=COM1"};
    char *argvs[]={"baudrate=38400"};

    {
    char *argv[]={"COM1"};
    cout<<"ENDING cctalk application event manager with caRD\n";
    DisconnectDevice( *argv);
    }

    and compiling this cpp file by using command:
    Cl/LD sparsha_Reader.cpp /NXCOMPAT /MACHINE:X86 /LINK "D:\sparsha\new\RamyamICM3301\ICM330-0170DLL\ICM330_0170DLL.lib"

    then i am getting this error as described above.
    if i compile using command like....
    Cl/LD sparsha_Reader.cpp /NXCOMPAT /MACHINE:X86 /LINK "D:\sparsha\new\RamyamICM3301\ICM330-0170DLL\ICM330_0170DLL.dll"
    i am getting error ...
    D:\sparsha\new\RamyamICM3301\ICM330-0170DLL\ICM330_0170DLL.dll
    D:\sparsha\new\RamyamICM3301\ICM330-0170DLL\ICM330_0170DLL.dll : fatal error LNK
    1107: invalid or corrupt file: cannot read at 0x2A8



    when i am compiling i am getting .obj,.exp,.lib and .dll.manifest files
    i am new to cpp so what to do now?
    anybody can help me...

    Re: error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol

    Show ConnectDevice and DisonnectDevice definitions from ICM330_0170DLL.h.
    Do you have some code samples using this library? Usually library writers provide such samples.

    You are probably trying to use the JNI technology of JAVA. If so, the Sun website has plenty of beginner examples.

    http://java.sun.com/developer/online...CBook/jni.html

    Why not go to the Sun website, and try those examples first, before trying to do this yourself with your own code? When I was first getting JNI to work, I went through the simple sample programs first before creating the library that I was working on. If the sample at the link doesn't work for you, then at least everyone here will have some kind of concrete reference point as to what is failing.

    Re: error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol

    Reading this h-file, I don't see any reason why this program is not linked. The only strange point is your code:

    typedef public char *LPCSTR; // 1byte
    typedef char *DWORD; //4bytes

    Why do you need the second typedef? Possibly it prevents compiler to create correct external dependency, which should be resolved by linker.

    Hi
    In actual h-file i don't have typedef's....but when i compile cpp file in which i included these header file i m getting errors so i wrote these typedef's .I don't know how to compile without wrirting these typedef's.
