I have a project that used to compile just fine, using the freetype library.
Since then my OS has been reinstalled and therefore so has Visual Studio 2010.
I have re-included and reinstalled all of the .lib .dll and header files. For some reason now if I run the program with the release configuration it runs just fine. But if I switch over to the debug config, it gives me unresolved external symbol errors from the linker, on the freetype library functions.
Now I'm sure my C++ directories for both configurations are identical as I re-set them using the all-configurations tab in the solution settings. As well as this, so are both configurations "additional directories/additional dependancies settings", set identically in the same way.
The only difference I could find between the release and debug folders in the project folder, is the presence of a file in the debug folder called "vc100.idb", which is a minimum rebuild dependancy file. This looked promising, but removing it yielded no results, so I put it back.
Do you have any ideas of what could be causing this difference between the configurations compiling?
Worst come to worst, I can continue programming on the release config, but I'd rather not continue down this road as I'd really like to know the root of this problem.
Thanks in advance,
Guy

Edit: OK well this is strange. I've removed ALL of the freetype directory information rom the include and library directory setting in the release config, as well as the additional dependancies. And the released config version still works!
This is leading me to believe there is something missing (vs config-wise) from moving my files over.
I had the same problem.
I solved it by compiling the freetype( freetype-2.5.2\builds\windows\vc2010\freetype.sln ) solution for the x64 platform (or win32 if you use it).
You will get the .libs for this platform.

I am trying to incorporate QtFFmpegWrapper in my program, but both my program and the provided sample won't link with ffmpeg:

and 10 or so more like these ...
Why do these pop up when linking ? The libs are all there and found, it just seems like the linker has issues with them ...
I use the following setup for my project:
Latest QtFFmpegWrapper from https://code.google.com/p/qtffmpegwrapper/
qt-opensource-windows-x86-msvc2012_opengl-5.3.0
Visual Studio 2012 Professional
Qt Creator 3.1.2

Everything is 32Bit.
I'm working with a project made professionally by someone else, so the code should be bug-free. The problems I'm having with it is most likely to do with the project configurations.
The project I'm trying to compile has C and C++ source files kept within the following folders, all within the project directory: Hardware, Header Files, Source Files, TCP/IP, uTasker and WinSim. When I attempt to compile, it returns the following build log:

LPC17XX.c is kept within the Hardware/LPC17XX folder.
WinSim.c and WinSimMain.cpp are kept within the WinSim folder.
I'm not sure how to configure my linker to fix these problems, any help would be appreciated.
Edit: I'm using Visual Studio 2010 to build the project.
The documentation on WinPCap is a little out of date from what I've been able to find, but there are some pretty important setup instructions, particularly the pre-processor macros that should be defined to get things properly setup for a good link.
The latest setup docs I could find are here. I hope they help get you going.
I am working on a DirectX 11 project for school and I followed the book thoroughly when doing this. I keep thinking that maybe something is labeled wrong but I double checked all my files, all my class names are fine (I believe they are fine) and double checked how all my header files are setup and everything should be okay and I still get this error output:

How do I solve this?
Evidently, you either haven't implemented a handful of methods from the DemoBase class (including its constructor and destructor), or you haven't included the implementation file in the list of files to compile or link with your program. Implement them, and then make sure you've included the source file in your project.

I imagine that the compiler is trying to link CLEyeMulticam.lib but not finding it. I think that I have configured it properly.
Could you point me with the needed steps to include a library in VS2010 ?
Thank you,
marc
Apologies if this is overly pedantic. If this is a pre-built library (not built as part of the project/solution) then make sure you
a) #include the correct header
b) #define any requisite macros
c) speciy additional .lib dependencies as shown below.
You will need to specify a fully qualifed path (d:\src\project\libs\camera.lib) unless the libary file is in the LIB environment variable.
In the Property Pages for your project, navigate to Configuration > Linker > Input and add the lib file to the Additional Dependencies setting. This applies to VC++ 2008, probably likewise to 2010.

The .lib is not included in your project. Make sure you are linking it in;
Configuration Properties -> Linker -> Input -> Additional Dependencies
Another altnerative is to simply copy the .lib to your project folder but don't, it's bound to create problems later on.
Sometimes the .lib is not shipped with the library, so you need to compile it yourself.
The README will tell you this. If this is the case, they usually ship with a .sln file you can open and the just compile it into a .lib file which you then reference in your main application, as I wrote above
Have you added the path of header files in the "Configuration Properties" --> "C/C++“ --> "General" --> "Additional Include Directories"?
The link gives you only the sources (including headerfiles) of libtorrent. You should compile this sources to get a .lib file. Add this .lib file to your client:
Configuration Properties/Linker/Input -> Additional Dependencies: libtorrent-rasterbar.lib
The best starting point for compiling should be the README file.
public: isn't the unresolved symbol. It's just there because the linker it trying to tell you that (most) of the unresolved symbols are public member functions.
It looks like you've included the header for "libtorrent", but not linked to the "libtorrent" library.
You have probably not linked with the torrent library or specified the wrong path to it so that the linker cannot find it.
If the input libraries are of 32bit and your are using them in building a 64bit it might be one of the reasons
For me, I had it included in my project, but it turned out that it was a plugin that was designed to not create an instance of in my unit test.
