I downloaded the detours
source code and compiled it with nmake
. Now I want to include it in a C++
project so I added the include directory path to the include directories as well as the #include "detours.h"
on top of the C++
source file. The previously unresolved detours.h
is now fixed however I still get Function definition not found
errors in the detours.h
file itself:
This causes a few linker errors like the following:
Error LNK2019 unresolved external symbol _DetourTransactionBegin@0 referenced in function "unsigned long __stdcall InitializeHooks(void *)" (?InitializeHooks@@YGKPAX@Z)
The detours
folder looks like this:
I already cleaned the solution and rebuilt it but the errors persist. Is there anything else I need to do to make it work? How do I tell Visual Studio
where to look up the function definitions since specifying the includes
doesn't seem to be enough?
I forgot to pass the .lib
files to the linker as well:
Furthermore adding the libraries to the Library Directories
path so the .lib
files can be found at all.
Now the linker errors are gone.
