Re: resolving linker errors

Not a language question at all but it is vc and any other group would

eliminate the linker errors by adding the definition files to the
solution and the files also become visible in solution explorer.

I wonder what you are doing here.
What functions are you talking about? Have you written them? Are they from other members of your team? Are they from a third-party library, or are they part of the standard runtime library?

If you have written them for the same project, then they should already be part of the project workspace. If not, you should know them and you should be able to simplay add all the cpp files from your project folder in one step.

If the functions are from a different (or third party) project, you would normally have library (*.lib file) and all you should need to do is add the lib file to your linker settings (look for "additional libraries" in the input files section).

I would bet that it's possible to tinker with the settings so that the
compiler finds the files even when they are not in the solution. I
would bet there's a faster solution than simply adding the files one
at a time.

I am a newbie so I would be grateful for easily-followable
instructions such as "go to tools then options ..."

Thank you very much for your help.
