How to Link with .lib file -- UuidCreate()

JoderCoder

I am getting this error when i attempt to use UuidCreate( &uuid );

LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp__UuidCreate@4

After some googling, i saw i have to link with Rpcrt4.lib

I am using VS 2003 and not familiar with linking at all.

1. How do I do linking?
2. Do I link with .lib file or .dll file?

Thanks in advance.

You link with the lib file and need to have the dll present for running.

Linking is done as part of the Build for you, I am not familiar with VS2003 (I skipped that version) but if you open the project properties or setting you should be able to find a section to alter the linker options and somewhere in there there will be a place to enter additional libraries to link against.
