STL in a Static Library Project - Linking Problem

[gumug]

Hi,

I have a VC++ project that is composed of 2 sub-projects, a win32 app and a win32 static library.

I'm trying to use the STL stack. I can make the code compile & link in the main project, but the same 'stack' code won't link properly when used in the static library [LNK2001: unresolved external symbol...].

I have tried adding the lib file through options in both projects. I also tried adding the library to the project itself.

I think I'm probably missing something obvious, but I can't seem to figure it out. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
kg

If you're implementing templates of your own make sure the methods are inline.

I have the same problem, but I am not creating any templates of my own. Only using the stl containers. All the link errors show up as missing from the library when the library is used in the main applicaton, but the library builds OK when built alone.

Then the obvious question is : Are you sure youre linking the lib into the app?

Yes the library is trying to link, but I get the following two errors, many many times.

warning LNK4049: locally defined symbol ??1?$basic_string@DU?$char_traits@D@std@@V?$allocator@D@2@@std@@QAE@XZ (public: __thiscall std::basic_string<char,struct std::char_traits<char>,class std::allocator<char> >::~basic_string<char,struct std::char_traits<char>,class std::allocator<char> >(void)) imported

It appears that the STL being used in the application and the library are conflicting or something else.

thanks for the help
