Hi,

_________What does it mean... What is compiler saying that went wrong... What seems to be the cause... How do I fix this problem... Any help...

Hey, Everybody... There must be one or two #include file to include to fix this problem with the Visual Studio 2005 Standard Edition, don't you think... Do you know which ones...

Visual C++16

I think you are including same header file (either a typo or through another include file) in your specified CPp file.

i.e

#include<route.h> // route.h also includes a.h
#include <a.h> // here we are including again.

Normally the standard include files of platform sdk and directx will be inside the #ifndef lock to avoid multiple includes.
I'm not sure whether this will correct your problem

The linking error occurs because you are not linking to the specified library (lib file)or object file..

Well, he links to it, but the linker cannot locate the specified lib file. Please make sure the folder that contains the library is in your library directories list.

Hi,

... ... ... Allah Is Here... Hey Marius... You see, that's what I was thinking also... I don't think the Visual Studio 2005 Standard Edition, with the Visual C++, They DON'T have any LIBRARY Folders that would Contain the specific libci.lib file AT ALL... Nor do any of the DirectX 8, also NOT the DirectX 10 SDKs Do Not contain any Library Folders with the libci.lib file AT ALL... So, do you think that the DirectX 9 SDK would contain it... Also, If none of them, then, How do we fix the Problem... What to do for real... What seems to be the solution at all...

Hi, Allah

I think your problem is refer to the link chain end with a old c library, which is not included in .NET. Please try the following steps:

1. right click on your project in the solution explorer, select properties.

2. navigate to the linker section, find the Input tag.

3. enter "libci.lib" in the Ignore specific library section in the right side and build your project.

Thanks
