Linker errors between multiple projects in Visual C++
- by rlbond
Hi,
I have a solution with multiple projects. I have a "main" project, which acts as a menu and from there, the user can access any of the other projects. On this main project, I get linker errors for every function called. How do I avoid these linker errors? I set the project dependencies already in the "Project Dependencies..." dialog.
Thanks
EDIT -- I did as suggested and added the output folder to the linker's additional directories. Now, however, I get a million errors as follows:
