I get this error message when trying to build a DLL for WindowsCE using Visual C++.

LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libci.lib'

Why am I getting this and how can I correct the problem?

First, you should be using Embedded Visual C++ or Platform Builder to build
for Windows CE.  Visual C++ is intended to build desktop applications only.

That said, assuming you checked the obvious possibility that it's actually
on your linker command line, it looks like you've got a reference to
useoldio.h or something else that contains

    #pragma comment(lib,"libci")

You might add /P to the compiler command line to get the preprocessed (.i)
file and find out where such a reference is coming from.

If you don't have any luck there, you can try adding /NODEFAULTLIB:libci to
your linker command line.  Of course, if you're using something (like old
C++ streams, which aren't supported on CE) that requires libci, you're going
to get unresolved externals from the linker.
