Compaq Visual Fortran: problem in linking library

[Mechanician]

Hi all,
I've been using Compaq Visual Fortran for some time.
Now I've a problem about linking library: when I build the code, it appears this error: error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __initializefonts and others LNK2001 errors.
To solve this error, it needs to add graphic library. I've identified the correct library to add, by the help menu. In particular I go to Tools menu, I select Option, then I choose Directories folder: here I add the grapic library. But when I build again, unfortunately this problem persists.
Why?

Many thanks

I don't have CVF so I'm just guessing.

Adding to the directories folder just means that if the linker wants it, it knows where to go. You haven't told the linker that it wants it yet.

You probably need to add it to the list of linker library dependencies.

Thanks for your reply!
How can I add it to the list of linker library dependencies?
I'm new to use CVF, so I don't know well how to do this.

Thanks

I think you're right. Now I'm analyzing the problem: it persists although I've typed the df command, used to invoke the compiler and the linker. In particular the command is:
USE DFLIB
I think something else is lacking.

At a guess you need qwin for any windows stuff.

You guess right! I solved it yesterday: 11 errors disappear, and now there's only one warning message.
In particular, I entered project menu, then I went to setting, I chose Fortran folder, where I selected library as category.
Then I typed threaded as reentrancy support, and then quickwin as run-time library.
Now I have to understand if these settings are equivalent to the invocation of the linker. I suppose.
Maybe the statement USE DFLIB is not be enough.

But before understanding this, now I have to solve this warning message:

warning LNK4084: total image size 419409920 exceeds max (268435456); image may not run.

Any suggestion?

Something very wrong somewhere. Looks like either a recursive dependency in libraries . You probably need to check the order in which the libraries are included in the linker.

I solved in this way: I created a standard graphic project type where I added my file.for.
In this way I can compile, build and execute.
Unfortunately I'm new in using CVF, so in the beginning I have some troubles.
Thanks in advance.

HI

i have this problem too... i have 10 subroutine in my program that need to calcomp library that is a external graphic library

but i can't link this to my program

please help me ...
i don't any thing about df command. where i must write this command and what i must write?

thanks
