build a project using given obj files

[Paul McKenzie]

When adding the obj files, they did asked me saying the building rules are not defined. I just hit cancel as I was not sure what to do there -_-
Here are some of the error messages I got:

Let's start from step 1.

First, an object file is an intermediate file created by the compiler. Given that, these object files were created using certain compiler options, i.e. debug, release, optimizations, etc.

This means that you can't just "drop-in" object files into a project without full information on how those object files were compiled.

What compiler was used to compile these object files? What version of the compiler was used? What compiler options? Were these object files created using the static or DLL version of the runtime? etc. etc.

Whatever those answers are, that is what your main application must be compiled with. Otherwise, you're taking object files created one way, and trying to apply it to an application created another way. That, in general, is what those errors are telling you.
