LNK 2001 Unresolved External Symbol CxxFrameHandler3
Good Day,
I have a project that a coworker did in VS 2003 C++. Actually a group project with five sub projects. Four out of five load fine after some configuration, in VS 2008.
The fifth however, has been giving me the finger (the middle) for about three days. I am nearly sure that it is a 2003/2008 issue.
It is currently saying "error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __CxxFrameHandler3." The CXXFrameHandler3 is part of LibCpmt.LIB. Which I have many on my machine (11). I therefore tried /NODEFAULTLIB:libcpmt.lib (since it worked last time with nafxcw.lib), but this had no effect.
I also turned off the buffer security check flag (/GS-)
Any suggestions?

>>>> Apparently I need both the VC 6 and VC 9 libs? ??
No, definitively not. Each Visual Studio needs its own environment.
Only third party libraries (CXXFrameHandler3?) may be used for both versions though that might give porting issues.
Any third party library must be added to the VC project, either by simply adding the .lib file to the project tree or - mostly better - to define it as linker input in the prject settings. That avoids the 'unresolved externals' for modules of that library.
>>>> I therefore tried /NODEFAULTLIB:libcpmt.lib (since it worked last time with nafxcw.lib)
/NODEFAULTLIB is for reparing a situation where you have duplicate symbols (just the contrary to 'unresolved'). But actually, it only repares a situation which wouldn't occur if there was no mix of single-threaded and multi-threaded libraries or if there were not made too much other errors by some manual settings before.
I don't know whether you could redo all your actions done. If not, I really recommend to uninstall both VC9 and VC and do a proper installation of VC6 and VC9 after. Then, create a new project by means of the wizard and move the source files of your current project to the newly (and correctly) generated project. Post, if you get linker errors prior to reparing anything what most likely is wrong and makes things worse.

Hm, there is some logic in your words, you're sort of saying I could go to 'hell' if I just keep hacking at it like I've been doing, whereas if I do it step by step, I have a chance.
If VC98 == VC 6.0, then I did install VC++ 6 then VC++ 9, in the proper order.
One of the projects complained about LARGEINT.LIB, which I only found on my machine in the VC98\Lib folder, so I have that project using the 6.0, and the others using the 9.0, which I hope doesn't get me into trouble.
Right now, I am reviewing the libraries that the one project that wont build is based on: StrmBase.lib (DirectShow base), css_lib.lib (one of ours), libxyzabc.lib (one of ours), quartz, vfw32, winmm, version, largeint, comctl32, olepro32, kernel32, user32, gdi32, winspool, comdlg32, advapi32, shell32, ole32, oleaut32, uuid, odbc32, and odbccp32.
I'm assuming that ONE of those is missing a library itself that has a definition for __CxxFrameHandle3, and I am thinking that it might be the DirectShow base class. Not 100% on that, but I WAS able to compile the directShow base classes before, WITHOUT having ANY of the header files. That is to say that they were visible in the VS project, but when I double-clicked them, they were "not found", and the project compiled without complaining.
So I may have a corrupted StrmBase.lib. I am downloading the windows SDK because it is supposed to also be in there. All I really need is some kind of packing list or manifest to make sure I've got all the correct files. Anyone know where to find that?

Ok, I got pulled off that project for a few days, and now I am back on. PGNatyuk, I checked those and changed them (one of the projects does have a form so I left that one as Multi-Threaded).
Not sure how it happened, but now two projects wont compile whereas before it was just one. But sometimes it's moving forward even though it looks like moving backwards.
itsmeandnobodyelse, I build the DirectShow Base Classes from 2005 (in VC9). StrmBase.LIB. A coworker thinks that this is the problem, but I don't think so. Just to be sure, how would I go about making sure that I had a good LIB in StrmBase.LIB?
Also, I'm not sure I understand your question. I had VC6 installed on my machine but never used it. Then I installed VC 9. The projects were built in VC6 on another machine. I'm loading them in VS 2008 (they were created in VS 2003). I really haven't rebuilt anything except for the DirectShow BaseClasses.

Ah ok, one project compiles in Debug but not in Release.

It is increditable that MS still isn't able to handle spaces in the paths of the environment variables.
Since I have grown up with DOS 8.3 filenames, I never use these silly path defaults with huge names and spaces between (for example my folder is d:\vc8) That may have prevent me from errors like the one you experienced ;-)

Development in most programming languages is frequently done with an editor or integrated development environment (IDE). An IDE is a software application that provide comprehensive facilities to computer programmers for software development. An IDE normally consists of a source code editor, build automation tools and a debugger. XCode, Visual Studio, Adobe Dreamweaver and Eclipse are some of the more popular development tools, but an editor or IDE can be anything from simple text editors to sophisticated programs.
