Pieter,

you should include 'ace32.lib' in your link script.

Hi Carlos, Thank you.

I had already Ace32.lib in my link script, could it be something else?

Pieter

png.lib

Yes, I linked png.lib also.

Does anybody know how to solve "Error: Unresolved external"? (I have linked RDDADS.LIB and FIVEHC.LIB)

Yes, the message says that RDDADS is requesting some functions that are not available in the objs and libs refered in the link scripts.

Can we see your link script?
What are you using to link?
This:

Error: Unresolved external 'AdsSetFilter' referenced from C:\PIETER\XHARBOUR123\LIB\RDDADS.LIB|ads1

is because ace32.lib is _NOT BEING LINKED_

AdsSetFilter is a very well known basic function from the earliest release of ace32, so i guess ace32 is not being linkedin. Plz check your script.


Error: Unresolved external '_png_read_info' referenced from C:\PIETER\FWH\LIB\FIVEHC.LIB|FWPNG

More of the same, but with png.lib

Hi Carlos,

I think I found a reason for the error, I think it has something to do with the PATH variable. I will try to get it work. Many thanks again!

Pieter

It works now

It was not the PATH variable, it was a silly typ mistake. I linked the right files(png.lib and ace32.lib) but in the wrong .bc file.

Thanks for letting us know you found the solution.

We all make silly mistakes--most of the time we don't tell anybody. I just made one yesterday that took me two hours to find. Sigh...

Mistakes are needed to learn

I would not call them mistakes, I prefer to consider them "training"
