Problems importing a .lib into another project

I'm using Visual Studio 2008 under Windows 7. I have a .lib and accompanying .h files (which make use of wxWidgets if that makes a difference) which compile without any issues.

I'm trying to import that library into a GUI project but when I do, the main class I'm interested in doesn't appear to be there?

I've added #include "MyLib.h" to the gui and added mylib.lib to the including libraries but for some reason I get:

MyLib.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: __thiscall MyLibClass::MyLibClass(void)" (??0MyLibClass@@QAE@XZ)

Why might that happen?

Solution

  • Maybe are you referencing an old version of the library? Are you sure the linked libraries in the project settings are set to the right path?
