I am new at c++, and ;I am trying to use existing library that contains .c and .h files.This library also contain one test program.I have included all .c and .h files to my project. When i try to build my project I get the about 10 different "LNK2019: unresolved external symbol errors". maybe some one can help me figure this out.I have checked that .c and .h files contain these function i-e mzd_copy,mzd_echelonize_m4ri etc. I am using visual studio C++ .net 2008. I have uploaded my project at mediafire

Looks like you forgot to link a library to your code.

Solution 2

Are you sure you included all the .c++ files and that the class containing the fn, _mzd_copy() has it defined in the corresponding .h files. Check whether there is any additional dependency needed, like some dll or lib. to run it.

yah i am pretty sure i added all the libraries to my project. All files are .c and .h files. there are no .lib and .dll files associated.

I downloaded your project and made it compile.

1- add ALL files to your solution (*.c and *.h files). Your solution only contains one .c file...
2- inline keyword cannot be used in *.c files with Visual Studio. So rename all your *.c files into *.cpp files.
3- edit the m4ri.h file and comment the __cplusplus block out.

C#

/*
#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif //__cplusplus
*/
#include "permutation.h"
#include "packedmatrix.h"
#include "brilliantrussian.h"
#include "strassen.h"
#include "grayflex.h"
#include "parity.h"
#include "trsm.h"
#include "pls.h"
#include "pls_mmpf.h"
#include "solve.h"
#include "echelonform.h"
/*
#ifdef __cplusplus
}
#endif //__cplusplus
*/
