Compilation of DCMTK-based program fails with LNK2019 [MSVC]

[daviddavid]

Hi,
I am using dcmimgle library. According to the library dependency, the libraries are included as: ofstd.lib, dcmdata.lib, dcmimgle.lib. And when compiling the program, I got the following errors. What is the cause of this error? Thank you a lot for the help.


Here is the error message:
--------------------------------------------------------------

Hi,

After linking in the zlib_d.lib library, the error message list was shortened. But I still have one error left. What else library I should link into the project to eliminate it? Thanks a lot. Here is the new error message:

---------------------------------
testdicom fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
testdicom error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _Netbios@4 referenced in function "unsigned char * __cdecl getMACAddress(unsigned char * const)" (?getMACAddress@@YAPAEQAE@Z)
testdicom warning LNK4098: defaultlib 'libcmtd.lib' conflicts with use of other libs; use /NODEFAULTLIB:library
---------------------------------

I finally figured this out. Thanks.

For all other readers, check FAQ #26 and #27.

Hi all,

I have read articles here and FAQ 26 adn 27, but still founded no answers.

In my app for 32 bits everything is ok, but when I compiled dcmtk to 64bit with /MDd and then try to compile my code - it brings errors:

2>dcmdata.lib(dcuid.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol WSACleanup referenced in function "long __cdecl gethostid(void)" (?gethostid@@YAJXZ)
2>dcmdata.lib(dcuid.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol gethostbyname referenced in function "long __cdecl gethostid(void)" (?gethostid@@YAJXZ)
2>dcmdata.lib(dcuid.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol gethostname referenced in function "long __cdecl gethostid(void)" (?gethostid@@YAJXZ)
2>dcmdata.lib(dcuid.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol WSAStartup referenced in function "long __cdecl gethostid(void)" (?gethostid@@YAJXZ)
2>dcmdata.lib(dcuid.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol Netbios referenced in function "unsigned char * __cdecl getMACAddress(unsigned char * const)" (?getMACAddress@@YAPEAEQEAE@Z)

order of libs is:
"D:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Lib\NETAPI32.LIB"
"D:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Lib\WSOCK32.LIB"
\include\dcmtk-3.5.4-win64-i386\lib\ofstd.lib
\include\dcmtk-3.5.4-win64-i386\lib\dcmdata.lib
\include\dcmtk-3.5.4-win64-i386\lib\dcmimgle.lib

I've even tried another order(reverse, in case if I've wrong understood FAQ 27) - still the same.

Please, can anyone help me - what I have done wrong or maybe here is some tricks for 64bit compilation?

Hi, trisch

Hi all,
In my app for 32 bits everything is ok, but when I compiled dcmtk to 64bit with /MDd and then try to compile my code - it brings errors:

Did you ever convert the supported libraries to x64 version ?
it has to convert 64x not only in CMake but also in supported libraries such as zlib, openssll, etc.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. I don't use supported libraries for dcmtk, but btw I have found error - before these libs (dcmimgle,dcmdata,ofstd,NETAPI32,WSOCK32) were standart libraries, which CMake-GUI has included, I don't remember which exactly. When I removed them - build was successfully.

The practical answer is to add the 64 bit SDK library path to your build as the first directory:

So your link path is something like this:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\Lib\x64;..\zlib-1.2.5-cmake\lib;..\dcmtk-3.6.0-cmake\lib;%(AdditionalLibraryDirectories)

Then make sure as per the FAQs suggested, that you have the following libraries listed in the front of the list of additional dependencies:
zlib_o.lib;netapi32.lib;wsock32.lib;WS2_32.Lib

Then after those ones put all the other stuff you already had.
