error LNK 2001 in visual C++ 6.0

What part of "The project is missing a reference to a library (.LIB) or object (.OBJ) file" are you not understanding? Did you read the .lib Files as Linker Input link?

Hi, This means that the library was compiled with Buffer Security Check[^]. Since we know that Visual Studio 6 does not implement compiler security checks... this means that the library you are attempting to use was compiled with VS2002 or above. You have two choices: 1.) Recompile the library with /GS (Buffer Security Check)[^] disabled. 2.) In your VC6 project... try linking with the bufferoverflowU.lib library that was included in deprecated (older) versions of the Platform SDK.

Why would you do that? Libraries and include/header files are not the same thing. If you are using VS6, click the Directories tab of the Tools->Options dialog. In the Show directories for: combobox, select Library files. Add the name of the folder that contains the
.libfile you are using. Click the Link tab of the Project->Settings dialog. In the Category combobox, select Input. In the Object/library modules: edit control, add the name of the .lib file you are using."One man's wage rise is another man's price increase." - Harold Wilson

hi , i already tried to include the libraries in the Directories tab of the Tools->Options dialog. but that didnt solve the problem . i opened a .mak file in the workspace, its not a project. so in its settings in dont have an option for link the .lib files . how should i build a .mak file which has to be linked to few of the libraries.

hi, i will tell what i need exactly. i have .mak file called testprogs.mak. this has to be linked to four .lib files. the problem is how should i first build a make file. what i do is openworkspace -> .mak file -> ok vc 6.0 by default creates a workspace. now the item opened in just a make file and not a project, so i am not able to link the .lib files. and finally getting many errors. kindly help me

You mean the libraries folder?

I cannot figure out if you are using a .mak file or the IDE to compile your project. I would be inclined to get everything working using the latter, and then create a .mak file from that.

If you do not have the necessary .lib files, the problem cannot be resolved.
