What do you mean?

The same lib file is linked in my example Dev-C++ project and it works.

Did you ever find a solution to your problem? I have a similar problem with another library and would like to know.

I am getting the error:
LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'C:\Program Files\upp\out\tclap\MSC8.\tclap.lib'

Using MSC8 Optimal build (it compiles and runs fine in the debug build). tclap is the name of a package that I created and populated with a code library.

Is the linker looking for a file or a folder? And why would it have a directory like "MSC8."?

Edit 1: Upp was not building the object/library files for the tclap package. I got it to compile by removing the package dependency and then simply including the header file for the library. What would cause it not to create object files for that package of code?

OK, the problem *was* that mingw in fact supports .lib, but theide did not.

This is now fixed.

Mirek,

Could you sync SVN and/or deploy a beta4 with source? There has been enough changes to U++ since the last release (about two weeks ago) that it would be nice to catch up...

Thanks,
