Boost::Archive causing weird linker error.

Question

Does anyone have a clue why those two lines would cause that linker error?

std::ifstream ifs("filename.file");
boost::archive::binary_iarchive iarchv( ifs );

Error 8 fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'F:\dev\project\build\win32-unit\tests\Debug\framework_core_tests.lib' ramework_core_tests framework_core_tests

The same happens with any Boost::Archive type.

Its trying to link against a library of the same name as my executable for some reason when that project doesn't nor never existed and is not defined as a library to link against in my project files.

Answer 1

maybe you should add a reference to a lib that contains that functions?

Answer 2

You have compiled this library with core tests.
