news:77**********************************@microsof t.com...I am new to C programming, and trying to run a console program on VC98 C++
version 6.0. service pack 5.0. I am running on WinXP SP2. The C program
is
just a simple 'hello world'. But it's not working. It worked before,
but
now I have visual fortran installed. Visual Fortran is included in the
Microsoft Visual Studio folder. Probably the error arises due to an
incorrect setting of fortan, but I don't know - it installed with no error
messages.
Here's what it says at the bottom of the C code:
Linking...
First.obj: error LNK2001 : unresolved external symbol ___pfnBkCheck
Debug/First . exe: fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
Error executing link . exe.
Sorry, I'm a bit confused. When I purchased the product, I knew that as a
condition of sale - I wouldn't be able to use it professionally. I don't
share
or give or make a profit from the software - I'm just trying to learn C at
home.
So if I'm not marketing anything - I suppose I'm not redistributing it either.
( The same goes for the visual fortran - I'm strickly a home user, trying to
build basic fortran programs.)
I'm not sure what your reference to -'run it inside the IDE' -has to do with
me. Does
this mean that I have to uninstall the fortan?
I've reread the manual, and am following the same procedures as before.
