Linking errors : _timezone and oldnames.lib

Hi everyone

I succesfully compile HDF5 1.8.5, but when linking my own app I get :

1>------ Build started: Project: vizir, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------
1>Linking...
1>hdf5.lib(H5Omtime.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol
_timezone referenced in function _H5O_mtime_decode
1>oldnames.lib(timezone.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol
_timezone
1>oldnames.lib(timezone.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol
__timezone
1>C:\Users\Anders\Documents\src32\vizir\Debug\vizir.exe : fatal error
LNK1120: 2 unresolved externals
1>Build log was saved at
"file://c:\Users\Anders\Documents\src32\vizir\vizir.dir\Debug\BuildLog.htm"
1>vizir - 4 error(s), 0 warning(s)
2>------ Skipped Build: Project: INSTALL, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------
2>Project not selected to build for this solution configuration
========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 2 up-to-date, 1 skipped ==========

Any ideas ? I'm using MSVC 2008. Does HDF5 use the oldnames library ?

Thanks,
Anders

Anders,

    How did you build the hdf5 library (options, external libraries,..)? I may like to try to duplicate this locally. Also what OS version and is the VS 2008 version express or professional?

Thanks,

Hi Allen

Thanks for answering - your library suggestion made me examine my own
cmakelists.txt, where I found

IF(WIN32)
SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES(vizir PROPERTIES LINK_FLAGS
"/nodefaultlib:LIBCMT.lib")
ENDIF(WIN32)

Commenting that one out solved the problem; seems a bit obvious now....

My application is a "Multi-threaded Debug DLL (/MDd)" thing, for the
record.

Cheers,
Anders
