Linking error when using C++ DLL for writing TDM files

[Kuo]

I try to integrate TDM into my C++ code. Then I downloaded the package from the NI website "Integrating TDMS in Third-Party Products". I tested the the sample "writeFile.c". But a  linking error as following occurred:

1>Linking...

1>nilibddc.lib(implib.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp__wsprintfA referenced in function _LoadDLLIfNeeded

1>.\Debug/Test TDM.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals 

Can anyone help me out. Many thanks.

What compiler on what kind of platform/OS are you using?

[Kuo]

I am using VC++6.0. Today I also tried it with VC++2005, but failed.

Platform, Windows XP SP 2.

I googled a lot, but can not find a good answer.

Many Thanks!

P.S. At the beginning, there are two more linking errors:

nilibddc.lib(implib.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol ___security_cookie

nilibddc.lib(implib.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol @__security_check_cookie@4

Debug/Test TDM.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 2 unresolved externals 

After googling, I found I need a bufferoverflowu.lib. Then I imported it, it showed such error:

bufferoverflowU.lib(gs_report.obj) : fatal error LNK1103: debugging information corrupt; recompile module

Error executing link.exe.

The MSDN say that it is defined in User32.lib

Hope that helps.

I migrated my code from VC++ 6 compiler to VC++ 2005. Then linking errors are gone.

nilibddc.lib(implib.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol ___security_cookie

nilibddc.lib(implib.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol @__security_check_cookie@4

P.S. "Read me" from NI says "The Microsoft 32-bit format is compatible with Microsoft Visual C version 6.0". But I tested the code with VC++6 professional with SP6 package and upgrade the SDK to the latest version that supports vc6. I still have the linking errors. My test seems prove that the dll does not support VC6.
