ATL Based Linker Errors

I got a linking problem with atls.lib lately. I updated my linker's additional dependencies lines with:

comctl32.lib
C:\WinDDK\7600.16385.1\lib\ATL\i386\atls.lib
C:\WinDDK\7600.16385.1\lib\ATL\i386\atl.lib
C:\WinDDK\7600.16385.1\lib\ATL\i386\atlsd.lib

However, now, I started getting these errors.

What can cause these problems?

Thank you very much.

回答1:

In project settings change "Use of ATL" from "Dynamic Link to ATL" to "Static Link to ATL".

回答2:

I had to debug this issue as well. Seems the DLL bulid is not working since a number of functions are missing in atl.lib. I switched "Use of ATL" to "Static link to ATL". After that I had only 3 missing symbols left and I found that these are defined within atlthunk.lib. This one is never referenced in atlbase.h. That's why I added

#pragma comment(lib, "atlthunk.lib")

to atlbase.h right before the debug yes/no section for atls.lib/atlsd.lib

After that the build was successfull.

回答3:

atls.lib is ATL's static library. atlsd.lib is that library's debug version. You're linking to both on the same build, so you get multiple definitions. In addition, atl.lib is what you should link to if you want to use ATL's dynamic library. So, either use atl.lib, or use atls.lib in your release build and atlsd.lib in your debug build. But don't mix them together.
