Problem linking with Crystal Reports and MS VC++ 6.0 Professional

Author	Message
bkan.. #1 / 4	Problem linking with Crystal Reports and MS VC++ 6.0 Professional I have recently had to have my machine at work formatted and reloaded. I reloaded Visual C++ 6.0 Professional edition, and I am able to load my application workspace with no problems. My application uses Seagate Crystal Reports as the reporting tool. I have also reloaded Crystal Reports. The problem occurs when I try to build my application. I get a Linking error that says the following: Linking... LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file "crpe32.lib" Error executing link.exe. The crpe32.lib file is on my machine, but for some reason the linker doesn't know where to look for it (I think). I looked in the MSDN help, but it was saying something about a makefile, and was really no help to me. Does anyone know how I am supposed to let the linker know where to find this file? I really appreciate any and all help. Thanks, Brian

Ganesan Rajarama #2 / 4	Problem linking with Crystal Reports and MS VC++ 6.0 Professional You have to tell DevStudio where exactly this crpe32.lib lies. There are two ways of doing it: Project-wide setting: Project \| Settings....in Link Tab, Input Category, Additional library path: enter path to folder containing crpe32.lib here or DevStudio-wide setting: Tools \| Options.... in Directories tab, Show directories for Library files: enter path to folder containing crpe32.lib. If you set the latter, all your future projects using CR would link fine.

bkan.. #3 / 4	Problem linking with Crystal Reports and MS VC++ 6.0 Professional Thanks for the help. I got past that error after doing what you said. I am know getting some errors that say: That is just the first one...I am actually getting 24 of these. I am thinking that I need to do a similar thing to fix these. Is that right?(please forgive my stupidity on this subject. I have just recently taken responsibility for this application) Thanks for all help in advance.

Ganesan Rajarama #4 / 4	Problem linking with Crystal Reports and MS VC++ 6.0 Professional You're missing to link atleast one more .lib (could be more). You need to find the names of libs (I've not done CR + VC++) and list only names of libs in Project \| Settings....Link tab, General Category, Object/library modules box. Hope this helps, Ganesh Quote: > Thanks for the help.
