Visual C++ - cant see which external missing - visual-c++

I try to build my multiproject application in Visuas C++ 10 in release mode.
I get the next link error:
2> All outputs are up-to-date.
2>PidAppLib.lib(ThreadWin32.obj) : error LNK2011: precompiled object not linked in; image may not run
2>C:\infinite_memories_svn\projects\sw\NewPidTools\PidWriter\Release\PidLabler.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
2>
2>Build FAILED.
How can I know which object unresolved?
ThreadWin32.obj is external lib which was downloaded from internet.

Ok.
I've solved the problem.
I have 2 libraries, let say a.lib and b.lib, and project, c.
a.lib uses b.lib so in librarian dependencies of a.lib I added b.lib, c uses a.lib so I added
it to dependencies.
It works in debug but in release I should also add b.lib to dependencies of c.
Strange but it solved the problem

I had this error in a large project I was refactoring. During the refactoring process I would occasionally compile individual source files to check changes I'd made without having to build the entire project. Depending on your project configuration this can result in .obj files being output in a different directory to where they would normally be output when you build the project. In my case the .obj files for source files compiled manually were output in the source code directory instead of the intermediate build directory.
A side-effect of this appeared to be that when building the whole project, source files that had been manually compiled might not be recompiled even if other changes elsewhere meant they should be (like a change that required recompiling the precompiled header file).
The solution for me was to manually delete all .obj files generated by manually compiling individual source files. Depending on project configuration executing Clean on the project might also work.

How to prevent SCons to clean specific part of build tree

My project contains third-party library sources that located in separate directory:
/prj
/src
/app
/lib1
/lib2
/third-party-lib
SConscript
...
SConstruct
Compiling of the third-party-lib is quite long because of large library size. I'm never change the sources of the library and the only case when the library needs to be rebuild is changes of the build options (compiler flags, for example).
To rebuild the project I issue commands:
scons -c && scons
In this case SCons removes all build products including the third-party-lib and subsequent build consumes a significant time due to third-party-lib compiling which, as said above, never changed. Method:
lib = env.StaticLibrary(Target, obj)
env.NoClean(lib)
does not give desired result - this preserves only final library file (lib.a) from clean. I've tried to preserve object files:
obj = env.Object(Sources)
env.NoClean(obj)
but this solves the problem only partially, because some object files compiled implicitly - the library code contains Qt code which processed by Qt meta-object compiler (MOC), therefore these object files do not included in 'obj' list.
Is there a way to prevent such third-part library rebuilding every time when the project rebuild carried out?
The SCons way of doing things would be to not call "scons -c", but only
scons
if you want to rebuild your project.
It is SCons main strength to get all the dependencies (implicit and explicit) right, even for an iterative rebuild where only a handful of files have changed. By using the "-c" option, like you may be used from other build tools like "make", you're shortcutting this feature and creating problems where there would be none usually.
I assume that you're using your "make clean; make all" approach because you haven't properly defined all the dependencies in your project yet. Please do that first, it will help your build in the long run.
And no, there is no method that will prevent "cleaning" for a whole folder and its subdirs.
Use env.Glob(), it will see files which SCons knows about but are not yet created when that logic is run.

Cross-Project References in Visual Studio 2015

I am trying to reference a dll project from another project, and am encountering a few difficulties. I have done the following:
Added both projects to a solution
Within my executable project, I add the dll project as a reference.
I add the include directory under Properties --> C/C++ --> Additional Include directories.
I thought this was sufficient - I don't get any errors, my intellisense is detecting the dll project and everything compiles. But when I run, I get the following system error messagebox:
The program can't start because xxx.dll is missing from your computer.
Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.
So I have tried adding the directory where the dll and lib files are built to to Reference Directories and Library Directories under VC++ Directories in the properties, but still get the same error.

Android-NDK: Unsatisfied Link Error : Cannot load library: soinfo_relocate: cannot locate symbol "tcgetattr"

I am building the app available at https://github.com/thibautd/android-serialport-api/tree/master/android-serialport-api/project using Android NDK.
What have I done until now:
Build the project using gradle version 'com.android.tools.build:gradle-experimental:0.7.0-alpha1'
I am building this on android-17 and running on Android device with 4.2. I have also tried android-19
Build goes through without any errors but at runtime I get the exception Cannot load library: soinfo_relocate: cannot locate symbol "tcgetattr"
I have tried several options to get this working but all of them fail
Options I have tried
Setting APP-PLATFORM like mentioned in Cannot locate symbol 'tcgetattr' referenced by "libcrypto.so"
Using $(PREBUILT_SHARED_LIBRARY) by including the .so file avialable in the same github location as mentioned in How can i Link prebuilt shared Library to Android NDK project?
Tried setting LOCAL_EXPORT_C_INCLUDES in both option 1) and 2) above as mentioned in the same post How can i Link prebuilt shared Library to Android NDK project?
Also tried option mentioned at Cannot load library: reloc_library[1285]: cannot locate 'rand'
Put all the required include files directly in the project under /jni and tried building the project.
My project compiles absolutely fine. When testing I have always deleted the contents in build folder and rebuilt the project. To make sure the .so files are indeed created properly.
In all the cases I end up in exactly the same error soinfo_relocate: cannot locate symbol "tcgetattr"
I think it is because of the fact that some of the includes like unistd.h are not correctly referenced in runtime but I am not able to figure out how to get this working.

Building with dokan.lib

I have downloaded the Dokan Library 0.6.0 (used to write a file system in user mode).
I'm using VS 2013 and have created a project to build the sample called mirror.c. It uses a LIB called dokan.lib. It compiles just fine but the linker gives an error saying
"unresolved external symbol __imp__DokanMain#8". I dumped the lib and __imp__DokanMain#8 does exist within dokan.lib.
Under Properties->Linker->Additional Library Directories, I added "c:\Program Files (x86)\Dokan\DokanLibrary" but that didn't help. Then I changed that to "c:\Program Files (x86)\Dokan\DokanLibrary\dokan.lib" but that also didn't help.
I have read everything at the dokan web site but nothing talks about building with Visual Studio.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Please move "dokan.lib" from Settings -> Linker ->General -> Additional Library Directories. This is meant to include only the paths to the libraries. You can leave the path to the library in tact in there (i.e, C:\Program Files (x86)\Dokan\DokanLibrary).
Place the "dokan.lib" in Settings->Linker->Input->Additional Dependencies.

Unable to execute dex: Multiple dex files define Lcom/actionbarsherlock/R$attr;

i use ActionBarLibrary in a library, that I use in a my app
i got this message when i try to compil
[2013-01-28 16:09:46 - Dex Loader] Unable to execute dex: Multiple dex files define Lcom/actionbarsherlock/R$attr;
[2013-01-28 16:09:46 - comfree] Conversion to Dalvik format failed: Unable to execute dex: Multiple dex files define Lcom/actionbarsherlock/R$attr;
As asked here, I was facing the exact same error yesterday. I pinpointed the cause of the error to /bin/classes. If I deleted the /classes dir before running the app, the app would compile and run. Of course, when I tried to actually export the app, the /classes dir would come back and along with it the error.
The solution to my problem was to install the latest version of Eclipse. You will then need to install the latest version of the ADT but all the Android versions you have downloaded earlier for the other Eclipse installation will be detected and used for this one as well. When I export or run the app through Eclipse, the /classes folder does not appear now.
right click on project to go project property>>java Build path>>choose Order and Export and then Unselect all except android4.0 or what every you have then clean and build your project ,now error not come again..
The solution to my problem was that I deleted the jar files which I copy pasted in project's lib folder. I explicitly imported external jars in build path
