OpenSSL fatal error LNK1120: 3 unresolved externals - c++

I've installed OpenSSL to Windows 8, and did the necessary modifications to the OpenSSL library, without installing it as a native library. But I've a specific error message that I couldn't find it on internet.

Hope you guys find something. So here it goes:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include "openssl/bn.h"
using namespace std;
int main()
{
BIGNUM * q = BN_new();
BIGNUM * two = BN_new();
long int num_bits_q = 160;
long int num_bits_p = 1024;
BN_generate_prime(q, num_bits_q, 0, two, NULL,NULL,NULL);
cout << "q is: " << BN_bn2dec(q) << endl;
return 0;
}

I ran that code and it compiled successfully in visual studio 2012, I used OpenSSL-Win32. If OpenSSL-Win64 does not work use OpenSSL-Win32, I also had the same problem. Don't forget to include ssleay32.lib, I hope you know how to configure OpenSSl in visual studio.

LNK2019 error when building MySQL codei n VIsual Studio C++

I've spent about two days now trying to get this to work but I still keep getting the same error with every method I do. I'm new to connecting MySQL to C++ so I'm a bit lost and every time I try to compile it, the thing spits out LNK2019 error. I'm using Visual Studio 2022.

I've tried looking it up, and every forum, video, etc. that I try using to resolve doesn't work. I'm not sure if it's a 32-bit or 64-bit issue, though I don't think it is since all files point to 64-bit folders. I'm thinking it's something in my code but I'm very new to this so I can't really pinpoint it. Any help would be appreciated.
EDIT: I managed to solve it, just started the project from scratch and followed the visual studio docs and this video.

LNK2019 error with Eclipse Paho MQTT C for a Visual Studio C++ project (win64)

I want to use the Eclipse Paho MQTT C library in a simple C++ program. For the library i used the the pre-build binaries for windows - see https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/technology.paho/downloads
C client for Windows 1.3.0 - 64 bit
I found the exact same issue in this talk LNK2019 error when compiling a Visual C++ Win32 project with Eclipse Paho MQTT.
For linkage in include I have the following setting:
C/C++ - Additional include: xxx\paho\eclipse-paho-mqtt-c-win64-1.3.0\include
Linker - additional Additional Library Directories
Linker - input - additional dependencies:
eclipse-paho-mqtt-c-win64-1.3.0\lib\paho-mqtt3cs.lib
eclipse-paho-mqtt-c-win64-1.3.0\lib\paho-mqtt3c.lib
eclipse-paho-mqtt-c-win64-1.3.0\lib\paho-mqtt3a.lib
eclipse-paho-mqtt-c-win64-1.3.0\lib\paho-mqtt3as.lib
My code is as follows:
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
extern "C" {
#include <MQTTClient.h>
#include <MQTTClientPersistence.h>
}
#define ADDRESS "xxx"
#define CLIENTID "ExampleClientSub"
#define TOPIC "xxx"
#define PAYLOAD "Hello World!"
#define QOS 1
#define TIMEOUT 10000L
int main()
{
MQTTClient client;
MQTTClient_connectOptions conn_opts = MQTTClient_connectOptions_initializer;
int rc;
int ch;
MQTTClient_create(&client, ADDRESS, CLIENTID,
MQTTCLIENT_PERSISTENCE_NONE, NULL);
conn_opts.keepAliveInterval = 20;
conn_opts.cleansession = 1;
conn_opts.username = "roman.busse";
conn_opts.password = "VojUriLKhOsmzUJQ1lld";
MQTTClient_setCallbacks(client, NULL, connlost, msgarrvd, delivered);
if ((rc = MQTTClient_connect(client, &conn_opts)) != MQTTCLIENT_SUCCESS)
{
printf("Failed to connect, return code %d\n", rc);
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
printf("Subscribing to topic %s\nfor client %s using QoS%d\n\n"
"Press Q<Enter> to quit\n\n", TOPIC, CLIENTID, QOS);
MQTTClient_subscribe(client, TOPIC, QOS);
do
{
ch = getchar();
} while (ch != 'Q' && ch != 'q');
MQTTClient_unsubscribe(client, TOPIC);
MQTTClient_disconnect(client, 10000);
MQTTClient_destroy(&client);
return 0;
}
So like you can see i said to the compiler: "Yes this is a C lib". But all in all I get the same LNK2019 errors...

Closed 9 years ago.
I get the following error Error 'LINK : fatal error LNK1123: failure during conversion to COFF: file invalid or corrupt' when I compile my code using Win32 Console Application.
I tried fixing it my going into Projects -> Properties -> General -> Linker -> Enable Incremental Linking and I changed it from "Yes" to No (/INCREMENTAL:NO) and then I tried to debug my code again but got another error message :

The basic problem is that you somehow specified "windows app" in your project settings. You want "console app" instead.
Windows apps use "WinMain()"; console apps use "main()".
Look at this link for details:

Please help, This project is due in about 48 hours for my class, and I've spent so much time trying to figure this out.
Thanks
respectfully, your last two questions are compiler/linker questions. I understand your frustration, as I knew how to code early but knew nothing about compilers/linkers. When you get a moment take some time to read about:
headers
binary vs object file
libraries / shared object
compiler
linker
function mangling (C vs C++)
To answer your question, I am guessing you're doing this in Microsoft Visual Studio:
You need to go to Project Properties and set Additional Library Paths (i see you did that from your last post)
You need to specify the library, I'm going out on a limb here and assuming it will mysql.lib ... There's an "Additional Library" input somewhere in the Linker section, you'll be able to identify it because kernel32.lib will be int it. Add the mysql.lib to that section. Confirm the name by going to the mysql folder which holds the binaries.
Make sure you're using the static library, the .dll will give you new issues that you don't need to worry about. This is usually achieved by setting the correct library directory. Many c++ libraries will ship with precompiled "Static" and "Dynamic" folders containing the correct libraries.
This is error is happening due to linker problem. The linker is not able to find the required static or dynamic libraries (mysql.lib,mysqlcppconn-static.lib,libmysql.dll and libmysql.lib). The additional lib setting is wrong. Check this site give the path correctly Building MySQL Connector/C++ Windows Applications with Microsoft Visual Studio

Linker error "... .obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol referenced in function"

I have read all the previous replies or solutions for the same linker problem. I understand that the Linker is unable to access the library file that has the functions defined but still I have no luck in solving it!

I am trying to send and receive data from a mixed-signal oscilloscope. In doing so I am required to write a .cpp file using the pre-defined commands/functions defined using Microsoft Visual Studio C++. I have read the user manual for using these commands, and I also have the header files and libraries required to implement it.
I am using the following code:
#include <visa.h>
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <stdio.h>
#include <memory.h>
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
ViSession rm = VI_NULL, vi = VI_NULL;
ViStatus status;
ViChar buffer[256];
ViUInt32 retCnt;
// Open a default session
status = viOpenDefaultRM(&rm);
if (status < VI_SUCCESS) goto error;
// Open the GPIB device at primary address 1, GPIB board 8
status = viOpen(rm, "USB::0x0699::0x0377::C011104::INSTR", VI_NULL, VI_NULL,
&vi);
if (status < VI_SUCCESS) goto error;
// Send an ID query.
status = viWrite(vi, (ViBuf) "*idn?", 5, &retCnt);
if (status < VI_SUCCESS) goto error;
// Clear the buffer and read the response
memset(buffer, 0, sizeof(buffer));
status = viRead(vi, (ViBuf) buffer, sizeof(buffer), &retCnt);
if (status < VI_SUCCESS) goto error;
// Print the response
printf("id: %s\n", buffer);
// Clean up
viClose(vi); // Not needed, but makes things a bit more
// understandable
viClose(rm); // Closes resource manager and any sessions
// opened with it
return 0;
error:
// Report error and clean up
viStatusDesc(vi, status, buffer);
fprintf(stderr, "failure: %s\n", buffer);
if (rm != VI_NULL) {
viClose(rm);
}
return 1;
}
You need to add either visa32.lib or visa64.lib to your linker settings.
One way to do that is to use a pragma in your compiler source file:
#pragma comment(lib,"visa32.lib")
If it is still not found then adjust your lib paths in your IDE or include the full path in the pragma.
I had the same issue. I figured out that you have to add visa32.lib in additional dependencies under the linker properties of your project
Go to your
project properties -> Linker -> Additional Dependencies-> Click Down Arrow -> "Edit -> Type visa32.lib
Click Ok, Ok
