MSVS Link Error for MapViewOFFIleEx

I have executed the following command in MSVS Native console.

cl -Feedgcpfex64.exe -D _WIN64 ../src/*.c user32.lib

and got the following linker error.

LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp__MapViewOfFileEx@28 referenced in function _map_file_region
Solution

  • This may be the case that you are using 32 bit native tool command prompt. There is no need to change library name for x64 support as user32.lib and kernel32.lib are different for 64 bit environment but the name is same.
