-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: 20000503: netCDF binaries on NT Date: Thu, 04 May 2000 12:58:24 +0200 From: Mike Mueller <address@hidden> Organization: UCAR/Unidata To: John Caron <address@hidden> References: <address@hidden> John, thanks for the tip. I managed to compile the source myself. Same thing. After a call at my compiler reseller (and user) he figured out that is something to do with length of the passed argument references, And really I had forgotten one argument in NF_DEF_VAR. Just could not decipher the meaning of the linker message. Only the NF_STERROR function does not work. W2_MS.OBJ : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _NF_STRERROR@4 Debug/Baerwalde.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals Error executing link.exe. i.e. one passed argument (STATUS) as described in the User's Guide. In netcdf.lib I found: _NF_STRERROR@12 at several places, indicating 3 arguments. Where I am I mistaking this time. Thanks.
