Re: [Dev-C++] Linking problems

Hi Andreas,
 
The only thing that I can obviously see is the text:
-lC:/Programme/Microsoft Platform SDK/Lib/WtsApi32.Lib
 
As gcc is using the Unix convention for path names, the spaces in the path name will cause a problem.  Try single quoting it as -l'C:/Programme/Microsoft Platform SDK/Lib/WtsApi32.Lib'.   If that doesn't work, just physically copy it to the lib folder of dev-cpp.
 
The other possibility is that if you're adding this to the to the linker parameters with the -l, that -l tries to add the prefix lib and suffix .a to the library, making it actually libWtsApi32.Lib.a which won't be found.  As an example my use of -lgimp-2.0 in Project Options->Parameters->Linker actually refers to libgimp-2.0.dll.a in the default lib directory.

Hallo,

I try to build a small application that uses windows funtions that are 
not in the standard libs but are in the libs of the MS SDK.
I did set the path to the libs and also the name of the lib I want to 
link with, but I get the following log

Compiler: Default compiler
Building Makefile: "C:\Dev-Cpp\Andreas\wtshost\Makefile.win"
Führt make... aus
make.exe -f "C:\Dev-Cpp\Andreas\wtshost\Makefile.win" all
gcc.exe main.o -o "wtshost.exe" -L"C:/Dev-Cpp/lib" 
-L"C:/Programme/Microsoft Platform SDK/Lib/" -mwindows -l 
"C:/Programme/Microsoft Platform SDK/Lib/WtsApi32.Lib"

C:\Dev-Cpp\Bin\..\lib\gcc\mingw32\3.4.2\..\..\..\..\mingw32\bin\ld.exe: 
cannot find -lC:/Programme/Microsoft Platform SDK/Lib/WtsApi32.Lib
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

make.exe: *** [wtshost.exe] Error 1

I am sure the path is OK.
I tried with the -L phat and -lWtsApi32.Lib without the full path, but I 
get the same error.
What's wrong in my projec tconfiguration ?

Bye
Andreas
