Fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file "nafxcwd.lib"

[Hunter]

Hi all,

I'm a C newbie in a desperate need of help. My background isn't
programming but engineering, so my programming skills are somewhat
limited (I am able to write simple single-threaded progs in C, but
hardly more than that). It just happened that my work requires me to
take a program and strip it off all kind of GUI, make it just a simple
command prompt thingie. And so I did, more or the less. Now, I didn't
remove any includes or anything of a kind, but my stripped proggie
consistently refuses to link (compiling is OK) and the error I get ts
the one in the subject. I searched all of my hard drive, this file
doesn't exist on it.
But the original program never "jumped" on it, as if it never required
it in a first place.

As I said I never added anything to the program, only removed some of
the GUI related code... And the new program seems to require something
that the old one never did...

I'm open to any suggestions, as due to my limited programming skills I
just don;t know where to look for the problem's root.

Thanks!

Your linker can't find some windows library., possibly because it
doesn't really need it, possibly because you've changed something
subtle without realising it

I suggest you ask again in a microsoft programming group as this is a
platform (and indeed compiler) specific question, and not really C.
