error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol

[c94wjpn]

I'm building a project, which is set to create a dll, and it's producing LNK2019 linking errors. ie it can't find dependencies. I thought that when you built a library you didn't need to provide it with dependencies, only applications require that.

A dll isn't like a static library. It needs everything at linkage time (except other dlls, for them a lib is sufficient) just like an exe does.

I've deleted your caveat, otherwise thanks for the answer.

Your welcome but why quote at all? What do that add to the thread?

For me quoting is often a source of irritation. I more than often return to a post to fix spelling and other errors.
