kernel32.lib" CIN Error in VC6

[Sandeep]

"I am creating a simplest CIN using VC6.
(I am using NI document guideline 'How to build a CIN code resource (.lsb file) ')

Code compiles. But when I want to create DLL, 1 fatal linking error comes ...
"Linking...
LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file "kernel32.lib"
Error executing link.exe. "


What is this error. And How to get rid of it?


Also in VC6 env, in 'cutom built command/outpt' options the in project settings,
is the text 'WkspDir','OutDir','TargetName' supposed to be replaced by me?


Thanks."

A possible cause of that problem is that you are linking the MFC libraries statically. Check the following:

Go to Project -> Settings (Change to All Configurations)

In the "General" tab make sure "Use MFC in a Shared DLL" is selected.

That's all I know. I hope it helps.

For the second question, you don't need to replace those terms.

Hi.
Intitialllly option was 'General\Microsoft Foundation Classes\not Using MFC'. I changed to 'Use MFC in shared DLL'

The following error comes:

"Linking...
LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file "MSVCRTD.lib"
Error executing link.exe. "

what might be the problem?

Thanks much.

Make sure the Settings applied for "All Configurations".

Other than that, I am running out of ideas. One thing you can still try is to ignore the instructions for the custom step and see if the project compiles. Let us know the result.
