Subject Where is The Import Library for Windows Embedded FB?
Author barfingdog2004
Hi Folks:

I'm trying to link a Windows app to embedded Firebird,
Firebird-1.5.0.4290_embed_win32.zip.

fbembed.dll has been copied to the "debug" directory, where
MSVC++ puts its executable, it's been renamed "fbclient.dll".
Other files have also been copied as described in the release
notes.

The link fails with this error:

LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file "fbclient.dll"

To link a DLL into an application Visual C++ seems to need
something called an import library for each DLL. I can't find
an import lib in the embedded zip and I don't know if it can be
built from what's in the embedded that file, or how to build it.

I don't have much experience with Windows development. And
this is my first contact with Firebird. So I might be missing
something simple.

Thanks
Larry
