I'm using CMake to build a Qt based application of mine on Windows with Visual Studio 2010 Express. When configuring with cmake I get the following error:
System runtime library file does not exists:
'MSVC10_REDIST_DIR-NOTFOUND/x86/Microsoft.VC100.CRT/msvcp100.dll
System runtime library file does not exists:
'MSVC10_REDIST_DIR-NOTFOUND/x86/Microsoft.VC100.CRT/msvcr100.dll
Then when I try to compile, I'm getting this error (both trying in Visual Studio, and with msbuild):
MSVCRT.lib(crtexew.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _WinMain#16 referenced in function ___tmainCRTStartup
C:\Users\Kurtis\sandbox\UDJ-Desktop-Client\build\src\Release\UDJ.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
I determined that Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Express doesn't come with the redistributable that I need. So I went to Microsoft's website to download the redistributable (both for x86 and x64). However, after installing it, I'm still getting the above configure and compile errors. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong, or how to fix my problem?
_WinMain#16 is the entry point of a Windows GUI application, so either it's missing from your source code, or you're not writing a GUI application, in which case your linker flags are incorrect.
Since you're using qt, make sure you have the QtMain Library being linked with your project. You can do this by adding it in your call to Find_Package like so:
find_package(Qt4 4.7.0 COMPONENTS QtMain QtCore QtGui QtSQL Phonon REQUIRED)

I am building a Windows application based on Qt using VisualStudio 2017 Professional (15.9.35) and the Qt VS Tools add-on. The project compiled fine up to a certain point, now the linker gives the error:
10>MSVCRTD.lib(exe_winmain.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _WinMain#16 referenced in function "int __cdecl invoke_main(void)" (?invoke_main##YAHXZ)
The target Qt version is Qt-5.12.10-msvc2017-32 (my application is 32-bit). My application defines main(), I expect WinMain to be defined by Qt which in turn will call my main() (as stated here, it worked at earlier stages of the development)
What I've checked (in the project for the application, and also in the dependency libraries project that are in the same VS solution):
Qt modules: core;gui;testlib;widgets
Subsystem: Windows (/SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS)
Character Set: blank (it's not either "Not set", it's set that way by the Qt VS Tools add-on when first creating a project)
Treat wchar_t as built-in type: Yes (/Zc:wchar_t)
I am using Visual Studio with a couple of Qt4 projects and I would like to switch to QtCreator, but keeping the msvc compiler.
After configuring everything in QtCreator I get this linker error:
LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _imp_SysAllocString#4
Any idea about what is going on? I don't get this error if I compile using Visual Studio.
You need to link against OleAut32.dll. Try adding this to your qmake project file:
win32: LIBS += -loleaut32 -lole32
I am trying to built a .cpp file using OpenNI in Visual Studio 2012. I am using the code of the SimpleViewer sample (it is included in the OpenNI). When I try to build the .cpp file I got the error LNK2019 which it seems a problem when the compiler has to link the OpenNI library. What could be wrong?
Errors (55 in total):

I followed all the steps described in the OpenNI website to compile a file in Visual Studio: I added all the VCC Directories and the Include and Lib environment variables. I also added OpenNI2.lib in the additional dependencies on the Linker section. I also copied the Redist files in the working directory (the directory where I have the .vcproj).
I ran into a similar issue. The sample projects wouldn't build because I was using OpenNI for x64 but the platform was set to Win32. Changing to x64 (in the properties dialog at the top) fixed it for me.
OpenNI 2.0 is not mature enough. Most of the libraries, open source codes, examples and wrappers still use OpenNI 1.5. The integration is not easy since OpenNI2 uses the Microsoft official drivers and OpenNI1.x uses the open source drivers. The 32bit version gives less problems than the 64bits but I ended up installing and working the OpenNI 1.5 and the Kinect non-official drivers.
The problem is related to the linking process. You may have wrong link path in the properties of your projects. There is solution, check this question
maybe it works in your case!
I'm having trouble to compile VTK 5.10.1 example code in Visual Studio 2010 on Windows 7 64 bit SP1.
First of all, I installed VTK using this tutorial.
No errors occured while installing VTK and the example executables like cone.exe located at C:\VTK5.10.1_cmake\bin\Release are running just fine.
In Visual Studio 2010 I started a new Win32 console application and tested the first example code from this site.
I edited the projekt properties (additional include directories, additional Library directories and additional dependencies).
The linker errors looked like that:
vtktest.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol ""public: void __thiscall vtkRenderer::AddActor(class vtkProp *)" (?AddActor#vtkRenderer##QAEXPAVvtkProp###Z)" referenced in function "_main".
Most of the the other people with the same error forgot to add the libs to the additional dependencies.
However I added all libs in the C:\VTK5.10.1_bin\lib\vtk-5.10 directory and the opengl32 library. I tried to seperate the libs by a space, a semicolon and a new line.
Then, I read that people are using the shared libraries. I'm not really familiar with dlls. I reinstalled VTK
with shared libraries options turned on and copied the resulting dlls to the System32 directory.
Now, the errors looks slightly different:
vtktest.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol ""__declspec(dllimport) public: void __thiscall vtkRenderer::AddActor(class vtkProp *)" (__imp_?AddActor#vtkRenderer##QAEXPAVvtkProp###Z)" referenced in function "_main".
Any help would be appriciated!
Nevermind, forgot to change the platform to x64 :/
I've been attempting to install glew and freeglut to use with Visual Studio 2010. I followed this guide and have backtracked a few times to make sure I followed it correctly but I still get the following errors when I try and compile the example code at the end:
Error 1 error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _imp_glutMainLoop#0 referenced in function _main c:\Users\Esteban\documents\visual studio 2010\Projects\Chapter 1 Project\Chapter 1 Project\main.obj Chapter 1 Project
Error 2 error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _imp_glutDisplayFunc#4 referenced in function _InitWindow c:\Users\Esteban\documents\visual studio 2010\Projects\Chapter 1 Project\Chapter 1 Project\main.obj Chapter 1 Project
Error 3 error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _imp_glutReshapeFunc#4 referenced in function _InitWindow c:\Users\Esteban\documents\visual studio 2010\Projects\Chapter 1 Project\Chapter 1 Project\main.obj Chapter 1 Project
Error 4 error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _imp_glutInitDisplayMode#4 referenced in function _InitWindow c:\Users\Esteban\documents\visual studio 2010\Projects\Chapter 1 Project\Chapter 1 Project\main.obj Chapter 1 Project
and more just like those. I don't know if its a problem but originally I accidentally grabbed the 64bit version. I realized my mistake and overwrote the files with the 32bit versions, then cleaned and attempted the build again with the same result.
Are you sure that you have done "Step 6: Project Settings (Linker)" in linked guide correctly? It seems that the linker is unable to find symbols that are defined in those libraries (glew and glut32.lib). Also make sure that the Visual Studio knows where to find those libraries (Project->Properties->Configuration properties->VC++ Directories->Library Directories).
All the unresolved external symbols should be found in freeglut.lib. Are you sure that you are properly linking to this library?
Instead of trying to accomplish this in the you could just insert the following line of code in one of your header files:
#pragma comment(lib, "freeglut.lib")
I had this problem too. It turns out I was using the express version of visual studios, so I had to download microsoft sdk to get 64bit openGL libraries. Basically, I found this guide more helpful: http://www.cs.uregina.ca/Links/class-info/315/WWW/Lab1/GLUT/windows.html
