linker problems for EasyHook in Visual C++ 10 - c++

I have downloaded EasyHook 2.7 source and I try to compile it in my Visual Studio 2012 environment.
After solving a lot of warnings, I have found other warnings that I cannot solve, and these are:
1>error.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _CoTaskMemAlloc#4 referenced in function _RtlGetLastErrorStringCopy#0
1>error.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _CopyMemory#12 referenced in function _RtlGetLastErrorStringCopy#0

1>C:\Users\Jaime Stuardo\Downloads\EasyHook-2.7.5159.0-Source\\Debug\x86\EasyHook32Drv.sys : fatal error LNK1120: 9 unresolved externals
What lib files I need to add so that the linker will not fail? notice that the first 2 functions belong to Windows API, so it is very curious it does not link.
Regards
Jaime


For the Windows functions, just look them up on MSDN. CoTaskMemAlloc says you need to link OLE32.LIB. CopyMemory says KERNEL32.LIB. The functions beginning with ud come from a library which Easyhook depends on: "EasyHook makes use of the udis86 library by Vivek.

compiling libcurl 7.61.1 from source on Windows 10

I'm working on an existing C++ project. We include libcurl as a static library, which we build from source. I'm trying to upgrade us from version 7.38.0 to version 7.61.1.
I downloaded curl-7.61.1.zip from here: https://curl.haxx.se/download/.
I made no modifications to the source and did not run any scripts that came with curl 7.61.1.
We have an existing VS solution we used for compiling curl 7.38.0, so I started from that and modified as needed for the new files in curl 7.61.1.
Everything compiled fine, however, when I try to link the compiled result into my project, I get the following errors:
1>libcurl.lib(schannel.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp_CertOpenStore referenced in function schannel_connect_step1

Has anyone run into similar issues before? Please let me know if I need to edit this with more info as well.

As Peter mentioned in a comment, I needed to link against windows libraries. In this case, linking against crypt32.lib solved the issue for me.

which library contains _is_c_termination_complete

I am getting LNK2019 error from linking C++ code with the standard library C++ library. I need to know which libraries contain the functions:
is_c_termination_complete,
__acrt_initialize,
__acrt_uninitialize,
__acrt_uninitialize_critical,
__acrt_thread_attach,
__acrt_thread_detach
to include it in the linking process.
I am writing code in C++ with MS Visual Studio community 2017 and Intel Parallel studio xe 2019 update 1 to be integrated in 3rd party software. The 3rd party software provides a "make" option to compile the object files and link them together.
Compilation works fine, linking provides an issue.
The 3rd party software provides an entry to provide basic linker options in the form of a variable. The default options are as follows:
link_sl='LINK', '/nologo', '/NOENTRY', '/INCREMENTAL:NO', '/subsystem:console', '/machine:AMD64',
' /NODEFAULTLIB:LIBC.LIB', '/NODEFAULTLIB:LIBCMT.LIB','/DEFAULTLIB:OLDNAMES.LIB', '/DEFAULTLIB:LIBIFCOREMD.LIB', '/DEFAULTLIB:LIBIFPORTMD.LIB', '/DEFAULTLIB:LIBMMD.LIB', '/DEFAULTLIB:kernel32.lib', '/DEFAULTLIB:user32.lib', '/DEFAULTLIB:advapi32.lib','/FIXED:NO', '/dll','/def:%E', '/out:%U', '%F', '%A', '%L', '%B',
'oldnames.lib', 'user32.lib', 'ws2_32.lib', 'netapi32.lib','advapi32.lib',
'msvcrt.lib', 'vcruntime.lib', 'ucrt.lib']
This gives the following 11 errors when linking:
msvcrt.lib(utility.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __vcrt_initialize referenced in function __scrt_initialize_crt
msvcrt.lib(utility.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __vcrt_uninitialize referenced in function __scrt_initialize_crt
msvcrt.lib(utility.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __vcrt_uninitialize_critical referenced in function __scrt_dllmain_uninitialize_critical
msvcrt.lib(utility.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __vcrt_thread_attach referenced in function __scrt_dllmain_crt_thread_attach
msvcrt.lib(utility.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __vcrt_thread_detach referenced in function __scrt_dllmain_crt_thread_attach
msvcrt.lib(utility.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _is_c_termination_complete referenced in function __scrt_dllmain_uninitialize_c
msvcrt.lib(utility.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __acrt_initialize referenced in function __scrt_initialize_crt
msvcrt.lib(utility.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __acrt_uninitialize referenced in function __scrt_uninitialize_crt
msvcrt.lib(utility.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __acrt_uninitialize_critical referenced in function __scrt_dllmain_uninitialize_critical
msvcrt.lib(utility.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __acrt_thread_attach referenced in function __scrt_dllmain_crt_thread_attach
msvcrt.lib(utility.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __acrt_thread_detach referenced in function __scrt_dllmain_crt_thread_detach
Which basically means that I am not including all the necessary libraries.
I already found out that including the library 'libvcruntime.lib' in the options reduces the errors to 6. So, using:
link_sl='LINK', '/nologo', '/NOENTRY', '/INCREMENTAL:NO', '/subsystem:console', '/machine:AMD64',
' /NODEFAULTLIB:LIBC.LIB', '/NODEFAULTLIB:LIBCMT.LIB','/DEFAULTLIB:OLDNAMES.LIB', '/DEFAULTLIB:LIBIFCOREMD.LIB', '/DEFAULTLIB:LIBIFPORTMD.LIB', '/DEFAULTLIB:LIBMMD.LIB', '/DEFAULTLIB:kernel32.lib', '/DEFAULTLIB:user32.lib', '/DEFAULTLIB:advapi32.lib','/FIXED:NO', '/dll','/def:%E', '/out:%U', '%F', '%A', '%L', '%B',
'oldnames.lib', 'user32.lib', 'ws2_32.lib', 'netapi32.lib','advapi32.lib',
'msvcrt.lib', 'vcruntime.lib', 'ucrt.lib',**'libvcruntime.lib'**]
Results in:
msvcrt.lib(utility.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _is_c_termination_complete referenced in function __scrt_dllmain_uninitialize_c
msvcrt.lib(utility.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __acrt_initialize referenced in function __scrt_initialize_crt
msvcrt.lib(utility.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __acrt_uninitialize referenced in function __scrt_uninitialize_crt
msvcrt.lib(utility.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __acrt_uninitialize_critical referenced in function __scrt_dllmain_uninitialize_critical
msvcrt.lib(utility.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __acrt_thread_attach referenced in function __scrt_dllmain_crt_thread_attach
msvcrt.lib(utility.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __acrt_thread_detach referenced in function __scrt_dllmain_crt_thread_detach
Which other libraries do I need to include in the linking process to resolve these?

I have encountered exactly the same problem when working within the framework provided by this 3rd party software. Although I cannot answer directly the question for finding the libraries containing _is_c_termination_complete, I realised it is still possible to make your code work: simply adding a /FORCE flag to your link_sl flag list.
According to MSVC official documentation:
The /FORCE option tells the linker to create a valid .exe file or DLL even if a symbol is referenced but not defined or is multiply defined.
Therefore, LNK2019 error messages will not stop the linker producing the dll library which is critical for the 3rd party software to run. The linker messages would look like:
msvcrt.lib(utility.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _is_c_termination_complete referenced in function __scrt_dllmain_uninitialize_c
msvcrt.lib(utility.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __acrt_initialize referenced in function __scrt_initialize_crt
msvcrt.lib(utility.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __acrt_uninitialize referenced in function __scrt_uninitialize_crt
msvcrt.lib(utility.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __acrt_uninitialize_critical referenced in function __scrt_dllmain_uninitialize_critical
msvcrt.lib(utility.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __acrt_thread_attach referenced in function __scrt_dllmain_crt_thread_attach
msvcrt.lib(utility.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __acrt_thread_detach referenced in function __scrt_dllmain_crt_thread_detach
: warning LNK4088: image being generated due to /FORCE option; image may not run
msvcprt.lib(locale0_implib.obj) : warning LNK4210: .CRT section exists; there may be unhandled static initializers or terminators
This is certainly not a decant solution and is not guaranteed to be working in any case, however it worked for my codes at least.

Static linking SSL with Poco

I'm trying to build dll with static linking Poco library which require OpenSSl.
When I build Poco library with static linking with libeay32MDd.lib and ssleay32MDd.lib it works good but require OpenSSL's DLLs. If I use libeay32MTd.lib and ssleay32MTd.lib, it throws the following errors :
libeay32MTd.lib(e_capi.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external

you need to link with crypt32.lib

Compile FFmpeg Zeranoe Build with Visual Studio 2013

I downloaded the most recent Zeranoe dev build here, included the header files to my code, placed extern "C" around the includes, since this is a C++ project and FFmpeg is a C library, and added the libs to Visual Studio as well, and I get this linker error:

Searching here and on Google I found many recommendations, such as to add #pragma comment(lib,...), and that the libs are static, so their order is important, and none of this helps.
So I scratched my head even more and realized that the Zeranoe build is made with MinGW-w64, so probably it won't link with Visual Studio. I inspected the lib using dumpbin and the symbols on the libs don't have the underscore, so I am pretty sure it won't work.
The other Zeranoe builds for Windows don't have libs, they are just plain .exe or exe + .dll.
Will I have to make my own VS2013 build of FFmpeg to link it, or is there some alternative way?
