Hi,

I am getting 'fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'WinMM.Lib;' when trying to load the program in the following thread in vc++. I have followed the instructions explicitly.

http://www.dreaminco...ndows-api-in-c/

I have tried linking the lib in Project Properties / Configuration Properties / Linker / General / Additional Library Directories (as well as the linking given in the other thread) and still I get the error. Any ideas as to what I am missing?

Thanks
Eric

[#define]

Does the path name to the library files contain spaces?

If so, does it have quotes in the Additional Dependencies section?

No spaces but it has quotes

I'm not too familiar with the Visual C++ IDE but, posting the contents of your .sln file may help diagnose the problem.

Good point, Jim.

With VC2008, the .sln file isn't very interesting. I don't use that compiler anymore, but I believe that the .vcxproj file has all the compiler and linker settings.

[jimblumberg]

Okay, I had a feeling it was the .vcxproj file but my quick search didn't turn up much info on the contents of this file. 50/50 chance... wrong again.

Which version of VS
Are you using ?

Try taking WinMM.lib out of the linker
section and try just using a pragma comment
Below your includes and see if that finds
it.

It seems the problem at the moment
Is it cannot find WinMM.lib

Snoopy.

What is interesting is that when he said that he took out WinMM.lib, then he started getting problems trying to find kernel32.lib. Sounds like a bad library path setting.

Seeing the .vcxproj will give us something more definitive.

[ericetc]

Ok here is the .sln file. Hopefully it will help

[ericetc]

It didn't upload obviously. I apologize for that and not knowing how to edit my comments (I don't see an edit option).

[jimblumberg]

You don't yet have enough posts to edit your posts. You may have to change the extension to .txt to properly add the file (yoursolution.sln.txt should work). Also post the vcxproj as well.

Jim

Perhaps this is missing critical information but the most I have been able to do is open the .sln and prj files up in web browser and copy what is there to a text file.

I may be missing something, I don't see where you have added anything to this project.

Jim

[ericetc]

I don't see anything either but it has wavrecord.cpp, resource.h and stafx.h

Sorry, I meant stdafx.h.

What has these files, they don't seem to be part of your project. How exactly did you add these files to your project? For example here is an example of a project file that has had some files added to it:
