Note: IT professionals should refer to the IT professional resources section.So the link command for this module fails with a large number of unresolved symbol references. For these SDK libraries, the symbol name format is: _ name, however. The module I am trying to build wants to link to symbols of the form: _ imp name, and my online research led me to believe that symbols of this form come from import libraries. lib files should be installed somewhere.Īfter some additional experimentation, I now believe that the libraries I thought were static (in the Windows SDK) are probably the import libraries. There are other suggestions for using lib to do this, and I'll try these, but my original question stands: It seems like these. I've tried the /OUT option as well, and /VERBOSE yields no further info. Looking at the documentation, it seems that the /NAME:filename option should work, but when I try this, the tool silently does nothing - it doesn't complain, but doesn't create any output. lib files myself? I understand that the lib tool can do this. (I do have static libraries available, but import libraries are needed.)ĭo I need to build these. lib files don't seem to be installed anywhere. This build wants to link against the import libraries for these DLLs, but these.

I'm working with Visual Studio 2017, and also have the Windows 10 SDK, Microsoft. I'm attempting to build a module that uses several of the Windows libraries, the DLLs of which are found in the C:\Windows\System32 folder.
