I messed up between shared and static libraries. There is a jpeg lib, which I was initially building as static lib and linking to the main project and I don't know why it was not getting linked. I built it as SHARED lib and the whole project compiled successfully. Thanks A lot. Hi Eric, Thanks for the <http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/BuildingWinDLL> BuildingWinDLL link. It was very helpful. I compiled the lib as SHARED (the library which was not found by the linker) and project compiled sucessfully. Though I still don't understand why was it not getting linked when I compiled it as STATIC library? Thanks a lot for replying my questions.

I'm not sure which you are expecting. Could you post the results of the build? Seeing the actual errors would help. mm -----Original Message----- From: cmake-boun...@cmake.org [mailto:cmake-boun...@cmake.org] On Behalf Of Eric Noulard Sent: Saturday, January 08, 2011 11:35 AM To: Avanindra Singh Cc: CMake mailing list Subject: Re: [CMake] Fwd: TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES not working for MSVC 2011/1/8 Avanindra Singh <avanindra.si...@gmail.com>: > Hi Eric, > Thanks for the reply.

Do you handle the visibility of symbols in libraries properly? On Linux the [usual] default is to have all symbol exported whereas it's the converse on Windows (no symbol exported unless specified). You have to use __declspec(dllexport) __declspec(dllimport) statement in the Windows case.
