Visual Studio 6.0 to Visual Studio 2008

Question

When version VC++ 6.0 application is converted to VC++ 2008, there are LINK2001 / LNK2019 linkage errors.

But the same code compiled and linked and runs without any problem in VC++ 6.0

How can I resolve this?

Answer 1

Looks like your project is depending on another external library. In VC6, you set the paths properly from Options/Settings, but you missed that in VC2008. That's just a wild guess though..

Answer 2

Jumping from VC6 to VS2008 means dealing with breaking changes in VS2003, VS2005 and VS2008. Read more here and here. Just a guess though - need more details.
