Linker library error in visual studio

Question

Running visual studio 2010 writing an openGL program in C++

I'm getting this error, and can't for the life of me figure out why

fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'Image_Loading/nvImage.lib'

The file is in the correct place, and nvImage.lib is present in the additional dependencies of the linker, any ideas??

Answer 1

The folder "Image_Loading" is probably not in your library search path. Include files has a different search path, so even if its find the includes, the folder might be missing from the libary search path.

you should either add the folder to the LIB enviromental variable, or add /LIBPATH: folder to the command line of the linker.
