Functions in Libraries

[RichardS]

Hi All, I am looking for a linker symbol in 100+ .lib files. I have the linker symbol, but how do I find which library it is in? regards, Rich "Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots.

Maybe a dumb answer, but I bet you can search for the symbol name inside the libs. (with Find in Files, for instance.). ~RaGE();

Nope, Find Files didn't find anything with the names that I need (but I know they are there).

Have you searched for the exact variable name, or for the variable name preceeded by an underscore, as in the error message ? ~RaGE();

[RichardS]

Both. I think Find in Files is not searching properly. I tried looking for WinMainCRTStartup in the Platform SDK files, and it wasn't found. cheers, Rich "Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots.

I can only find it in makefiles, in my SDK, for instance: C:\PROGRAM FILES\MICROSOFT SDK\include\Win32.Mak(548):savlflags = $(lflags) -subsystem:windows,$(EXEVER) -entry:WinMainCRTStartup ~RaGE();
