"Cannot open file mfc42u.lib"
-
I read about some clock synchronizing classes at http://www.codeproject.com/internet/csntp.asp and wanted to give them a try. When building, Visual Studio 6.0 gave an error 'LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file "mfc42u.lib"'. I then downloaded service pack 5 for Visual Studio 6.0 and tried again. The same error. I've scanned my Studio directory and sub-directories and that file is not on my drive. Has anyone else come across this problem? Peter

The Unicode libraries aren't installed in a default installation of VC. Just grab the LIB out of the service pack EXE (there should be a command line switch to unpack it, or just use WinZip) and put it in your MFC\LIB directory. --Mike-- http://home.inreach.com/mdunn/ The Signature, back by popular demand: Buffy.

It is not installed by default. Rerun the Visual Studio install and opt to add/remove components. There's an option to install the unicode libraries and dlls that is available under one of the selections. Install them and try again.
