I'm a little new to c++ in visual studio, and I'm trying to compile a massive C++ project with Visual Studio. I've gone through and added all source and header files to my project and also updated all of the include paths in the project properties.
If I have the type of project set to "Static Library (.Lib)" the project will compile without error and I'll have a nice fatty .lib file.
If I change the project over to a "Dynamic Library (.dll)" The project no longer compiles and fails on linking errors.
Here's an example of one:
Error 27 error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "char const * __cdecl Project::toString(enum Project::compMode)" (?toString@Project@@$$FYAPBDW4compMode@1@@Z) H:\repo.project\user\tool\component.obj tool
Any help or background on what might be happening here?
