Solution with 3 native c++ projects. 1 exe and 2 static libs. Always getting mentioned error on Rebuild. After that I just do Build and it goes ok.

It does not work if you put this in VC++ Directories, Library Directories. share|improve this answer answered Jun 25 '12 at 2:19 Chris Thorne 37935 add a comment| up vote 9 down vote I can see only 1 things happening here: You did't set properly dependences to thelibrary.lib in your project meaning that thelibrary.lib is built in the wrong order (Or in the same time if you have more then 1 CPU build configuration, which can also explain randomness of the error). ( You can change the project dependences in: Menu->Project->Project Dependencies ) share|improve this answer answered Jun 23 '11 at 8:51 Sasha 67148 Thelibrary.lib is always built first. I have correctly set the depencies, long ago. –Komn Jun 23 '11 at 8:55 Well in this case it may be a VS b

Now when I compile the project without any changes to what VS generates, I get... LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file " ■/.obj" I also have VS 2008 install on the same machine. I follow the same steps and it compiles. What am I doing wrong? Edit Okay, I've discovered that this error is due to an old version of http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4000772/visual-studio-2010-link-fatal-error-lnk1181-cannot-open-input-file-obj the linker being used. I am not sure why. In VS2010, the project directories are set differently than in VS2008. Once I figure that out, maybe I can solve my own problem. c++ visual-studio-2010 share|improve this question edited Oct 23 '10 at 2:46 asked Oct 22 '10 at 20:39 Les 3,86631528 ■ is U+25A0 BLACK SQUARE. –Andreas Rejbrand Oct 22 '10 at 20:41 that's a weird file name! –Donotalo Oct 22 '10 at 20:42 @Andreas - I don't know, I just copied and pasted. @Donotalo, agreed, and I didn't create it.

So instead of specifying a path as e.g. "m:\", one had to use some workaround, such as specifying the path as "m:\." (note the dot).

However, when I set the Configuration Type under Project Defaults under the Configuration Manager in Visual Studio 2012, I get cannot open input " error LNK1181: cannot open input file" Odd part is that the file it looks for has no file ending. The project contains both C, C++ and ASM code. Does anyone got any experience with this kind of behavior? c++ c assembly visual-studio-2012 linker share|improve this question asked Jul 10 '13 at 22:17 Martin 3981418 Are you trying to link to a 32-bit library from a 64-bit project configuration, or vice versa? –1'' Jul 10 '13 at 22:20 My setup is x64 but the config is x86 both when I compile as EXE or as LIB. I am not referring to my project yet as I can't even compile it as LIB yet. –Martin Jul 10 '13 at 22:26 add a comment| 2 Answers 2 active oldest votes up vote 2 down vote Some common causes for error LNK1181 are: filename is referenced as an additional dependency on the linker line, but the file does not exist. A /LIBPATH statement that specifies the directory containing filename is missing. To resolve the above issues, ensure any files referenced on the linker line are present on the system. Use the /LIBPATH option to override the environment librar
