Visual Studio 2008 build errors ...

Question

Hi,

I'm trying to compile an old project that was originally designed for Visual Studio 2008 SP0 (I'm using SP1 now). I'm getting these errors.

 Error 51 error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "unsigned long __cdecl GetDeviceState(enum DEVICES_ENUM,enum DEVICE_STATE_ENUM &,int &)" (?GetDeviceState@@YAKW4DEVICES_ENUM@@AAW4DEVICE_STATE_ENUM@@AAH@Z) referenced in function _Get1394DeviceStatus Raw1394api.obj raw1394api

Answer 1

I would suggest to check the files mentioned in the last row.

Answer 2

Perhaps you need to install the latest Windows SDK.

Answer 3

maybe you forget a .lib file??

Answer 4

You need to set DLL/LIB location contains missing symbols in project setting.
Or if your project uses DirectX (or XNA), you should install DirectX SDK first.
