error in build

Hi I am a newbee in VC++ and I am trying to run a systemc code.

This code compiles but when I try to build the project, the link fails and gives me this.

--------------------Configuration: revision - Win32 Debug--------------------
Linking...
LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file "kernel32.lib"
Error executing link.exe.

revision.exe - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)



what might be the problem?

you have not given the link options to link
kernel32.lib.

use the linker configuration options to link the named file.

first search where exactly (in which directory)the file named 'kernel32.lib' exists
in your system.

In VC++ IDE, go to tools/options menu and in the options dialog, select VC++ directories and add the directory where kernel32.lib is found. It can be a little different in different VC++ versions, but this is the basic idea.

thanks all for help

i did like u said numa and i got 2 errors now, but ithink i am on the right track.


--------------------Configuration: revision - Win32 Debug--------------------
Linking...
systemc.lib(sc_uint_base.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "unsigned __int64 const (* sc_dt::mask_int)[64]" (?mask_int@sc_dt@@3QAY0EA@$$CB_KA)
Debug/revision.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
Error executing link.exe.

revision.exe - 2 error(s), 0 warning(s)



what does "unresolved external" mean?
please help me on this

Re: Need help to solve an error in build systemC code in VC+

OK, I guess you are on the right track. Now the problem is that the linker can't locate systemc.lib. Please add path to systemc.lib in options dialog as you did with kernel32.lib. This should help.

Unresolved external means the linker couldn't find the definition for a function that is declared/used in the code. When the compiler see a function used in a c file, it will assume that the function definition may be existing in some other C file or library and continues compilation as if nothing happened. When the linker tries to link individual object files, it will see that the particular function is used and will try to locate it in other object files or library files. If linker can not find the function definition, it will abort linking further with error "unresolved external".

here in you case you might have used some functions defined in systemc.lib, but since linker can't locate systemc.lib it cant figure out the function definition.

Long explanation, but hope this helps

Re: Need help to solve an error in build systemC code in VC+

i did like u said

the directory of systemc.lib is

C:\systemc-2.0.1\msvc60\systemc\Debug

i added it to library files directory in tools>> options>>directories


but that does not wok ,i am getting same error when building

Go to project-> properties menu, in the dialog navigate to Linker and add systemc.lib in additional dependencies field. See if this helps.
