Hello folks,
I'm building an executable called foo.exe (project name foo) and a
library called foo.lib (project name libfoo) that the executable
depends on. I have an ImportLibrary line for foo.exe which looks like
this:
ImportLibrary="<path>\lib\Debug\foo.lib"
and an OutputFile line for foo.lib that looks like this:
OutputFile="<path>\lib\Debug\foo.lib"
My build for the executable (foo.exe) fails with the following error:
"LINK : fatal error LNK1149: output filename matches input filename
'foo.lib'"
A few questions:
1. I'm not sure if the error is because of the same name, but in any
case, it seems to be wrong because one of the two libraries will be
overwritten by the other. How do I avoid this (apart from using
different names, of course) ?
2. Why is an import library required for the executable ? Isn't it
only for DLL's?
Regards,
Hari
Are you using CMake? I don't recognize the code you post - if you are
looking for help specifically for a visual studio project, this is not
the right forum for your question. In CMake, you'd do it something like
this:
add_library(libfoo libsource.cpp libsource.h libsource2.cpp)
add_executable(foo foo.cpp foo2.cpp)
target_link_libraries(foo libfoo)
