Dear Alberto,
In the setting for the whole project, I chose 'Engine' and under the link tab, I have put in the correct path to where the debug and release of xerces-c_2D.lib and xerces-c_2.lib and the corresponding dll files are in the same directory. (Is this what you meant by linking? I am kinda new to VC++. I am more familiar with Java, I was thrown into this project in the last minute.) The linking errors occur both with 2.4 & 2.5, which I just downloaded yesterday and rebuilt.
Linking is the process of resolving all the references in an executable (Java does this when you execute a class); in C++ this is done as the last step of the compilation. So, you must give the linker the full name of the library file, or the name of the library and the path where it is located.
In the "Link" tab, choose the "input" category and then add "xerces-c_2D.lib" in the "Object/library modules" and the directory where that file is in the "Additional library path".
Keep also in mind that that directory will have to be in the PATH when you execute the final executable file.
Alberto
If this is not what you meant, can you give me further pointers on this matter?
Sincerely & Humbly yours, -- Jimmy Yu
