ATL Based Linker Errors

Question

I got a linking problem with atls.lib lately. I updated my linker's additional dependencies lines with:

comctl32.lib
C:\WinDDK\7600.16385.1\lib\ATL\i386\atls.lib
C:\WinDDK\7600.16385.1\lib\ATL\i386\atl.lib
C:\WinDDK\7600.16385.1\lib\ATL\i386\atlsd.lib

However, now, I started getting these errors.

What can cause these problems?

Thank you very much.

Answer 1

In project settings change "Use of ATL" from "Dynamic Link to ATL" to "Static Link to ATL".

Answer 2

I had to debug this issue as well. Seems the DLL bulid is not working since a number of functions are missing in atl.lib. I switched "Use of ATL" to "Static link to ATL". After that I had only 3 missing symbols left and I found that these are defined within atlthunk.lib. This one is never referenced in atlbase.h. That's why I added

#pragma comment(lib, "atlthunk.lib")

to atlbase.h right before the debug yes/no section for atls.lib/atlsd.lib

After that the build was successfull.
