It seems in some cases there is conflict between libraries and others it can't find the fltk library even though I specified fltk.lib. Please help. Thanks!

Follow this advice. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...=vs.80%29.aspx

Thanks! It wasn't clear which ones to ignore though. So I tried

1. Ignore all default libraries: many errors still
2. Ignore msvcrt.lib and msvcprt.lib: still many errors
3. Ignore libcmt.lib and libcpmt.lib: the fewest remaining errors (see below)

Still need help...

Finally figured it out. Need to ignore the VC libraries and recompile FLTK as static library.

Well I got a new laptop and the problem came back. I got a bunch of warnings and errors when the IDE tried to link the fltk library:

1>fltkd.lib(Fl_File_Chooser2.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp___access referenced in function "private: void __thiscall Fl_File_Chooser::fileNameCB(void)" (?fileNameCB@Fl_File_Chooser@@AAEXXZ)

1>fltkd.lib(Fl_Text_Buffer.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp__ferror referenced in function "public: int __thiscall Fl_Text_Buffer::insertfile(char const *,int,int)" ...

Update: I figured it out. The fltk library was compiled with "debug" and the problem went away when it's re-compiled with "release". Although the fltk solution now fails to build 68 out of 79 projects.
