C++ -> fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'strmiids.lib' | BaseClasses

[Hareth]

When i build the sample app baseclasses (that came with winfx sdk)
i get an error:
Error 1 fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'strmiids.lib'
BaseClasses

I know where the 'strmiids.lib' is, and i even tried to refrence the file,
but that didnt help.

any ideas?

Did you add the lib folder to you list of additional library folders?
project properties->configuration properties->linker->general and then
'additional library directories'.

adding a reference is only done for managed assemblies.

i right clicked the proj, and selected prop. if that is what im supposed

to
do, but their was no "->linker->general and then
'additional library directories'."

My mistake.
In a static library project you have to look under the librarian section.

another possibility would have been to configure the folder under
tools->options->projects->C++ projects
but I prefer the per project configuration because otherwise the folders
will be used for all projects. not just this one.

Try asking in microsoft.public.win32.programmer.directx.audio / .video.
You might get a better response in there.

Your makefile has a path specified for the library, so library search isn't
invoked. Remove the path from the linker options, so link.exe will check
the library directories for it.
