Hello,
I am developing an application that uses BCGControl Bar library
My application needs to call the function: GetFileVersionInfoSize,
but I get a linker error.
I thought this was a problem with my application, but I tried
inserting some code into one of the samples that comes with
BCGLibrary and the same thing happens:
Here is the output of my compiler:
--------------------Configuration: BCGIEDemo - Win32 Debug--------------------
Compiling...
BCGIEDemo.cpp
Linking...
BCGIEDemo.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _GetFileVersionInfoSizeA@8
..\Bin/BCGIEDemoD.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
Error executing link.exe.
BCGIEDemoD.exe - 2 error(s), 0 warning(s)
I used sample BCGIEDemo and added 3 lines in BCGIEDemo.cpp in the
CAboutDlg::OnInitDialog() member function
DWORD dwVerHnd;
CString DllName = "Kernel32.dll";
DWORD dwVerInfoSize = GetFileVersionInfoSize( DllName.GetBuffer(0), &dwVerHnd);
Also, this problem occurs if I call other related functions such as:
GetFileVersionInfo or VerQueryValue. I suspect there are some
incompatible things with functions from Version.dll.
Can anyone help me?

This is not BCGControlBar library-related problem.
You have to link explicitly with the version.lib library.

Hello,
I have linked my project explicitly with version.lib and it compiled fine. However, I still believe there could be something wrong with BCGControlBar library because other MFC application I have developed without the BCG library seem to compile fine even if I use functions from version.dll and do not link explicitly vith version lib.
Anyway, why is it that I need to link with version.lib? Isn't [/i]version.lib[/i] in the path?
Thank you,
Best regards,
Alex |
