id3lib linker error - c++

I'm trying to code a program that can edit mp3 tag.
And now,I have a problem.
That is,when I compile,there is always errors.
and the error is Linker error.
Here is error descriptions:
error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "__declspec(dllimport) public: __thiscall ID3_Tag::ID3_Tag(char const *)" (__imp_??0ID3_Tag##QAE#PBD#Z) referenced in function _wmain
error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "__declspec(dllimport) public: virtual __thiscall ID3_Tag::~ID3_Tag(void)" (__imp_??1ID3_Tag##UAE#XZ) referenced in function _wmain
Does anyone know how or what to do??


You probably didn't link against the appropriate libraries, where the symbols the linker is complaining about are exported.
Here's how to link against the libs which are probably found in this archive (version number subject to change).

Linking error when casting IDXGIAdapter1 to IDXGIAdapter4 [DirectX and WinRT/C++]

I'm trying to cast IDXGIAdapter1 instance to IDXGIAdapter4 like so:
winrt::com_ptr<IDXGIAdapter1> adapter;
winrt::com_ptr<IDXGIAdapter4> adapter{adapters.front().as<IDXGIAdapter4>()};
But there is linking error:
error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol WINRT_GetRestrictedErrorInfo referenced in function "public: __cdecl winrt::hresult_error::hresult_error(struct winrt::hresult,struct winrt::hresult_error::from_abi_t)" (??0hresult_error#winrt##QEAA#Uhresult#1#Ufrom_abi_t#01##Z)
error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol WINRT_RoOriginateLanguageException referenced in function "private: void __cdecl winrt::hresult_error::originate(struct winrt::hresult,void *)" (?originate#hresult_error#winrt##AEAAXUhresult#2#PEAX#Z)
What am I doing wrong?

I solved the problem by linking "RuntimeObject.lib" library. Thank you for your help, Faywang - MSFT.

Hello World example for V8 using gyp

Since SCons has been deprecated. I used the gyp to generate vs solution.
I did what they told me on the build BuildingWithGYP.
And the v8 project builded ok!
and I got the v8_base.lib but no v8.lib.
And in the hello world project ,get started.I add the lib directory into the add library.
But it linked failed:
Linking...

……
It seems that couldn't find the implement
but i used the dumpbin tool and find the symbol i can find them in the v8_base.lib
I am sure that the library directory is ok!
but i don't know why it couldn't find the implement.

You can add the lib "v8_base.lib" as an additional dependency to fix the problem.

How do I solve "unresolved external symbol" errors in a DirectX 11 program?

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.

Linker error LNK2019 in C++ [duplicate]

What is an undefined reference/unresolved external symbol error and how do I fix it?

Closed 5 years ago.
I am trying to build a C++ program and keep on getting LNK2019 link errors whenever I try defining a new function and building it. I resolved few of them till now, but spend a lot of time to understand the error in detail. Errors I am getting now are as per below:

Going through various forums I understood that I need to add some library name and its path, but I am bad at library thing. From where can I get its name and the path?

To use a library:
go under Project/<projectname>Properties/Configuration Properties/CC++/Additional Include Directories and enter in the directory where the header files for the library are.
Then also under Configuration Properties/Linker/General/Additional Library Directories enter in the location of the lib directory.
Then under Configuration Properties/Linker/Input/Additional dependencies put the name(s) of the lib files in the lib directory.

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.
