Maybe 1 times out of 5, I get this error on a specific machine (incidentally, our buildbot) but it never occurs on my dev machine. I'm hoping that there's a hotfix for this from Microsoft, but I can't find one.
LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'Debug\synergy.lib'
It might be worth noting that this is using the 64-bit build tool, so I suppose that could be relevant. The machine is 32-bit, but I'm not sure if that's important. Please review the full compile log for details.
That's because you had a compile error in synergy project:
c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\include\xlocale(265) : error C2039: '_DebugHeapTag_func' : is not a member of 'std'
So synergy.lib was not built and hence the dependent projects could not find it. The reason why it happens on the build machine is that most likely it gets cleaned before a build, the lib file is never there unless it's built. On your dev machine even if there is an error, the output file is still there and the dependent project compiles.
