Add the library name such as "xyz.lib" to the project list.  Also, make sure 
that the link search path (directory) points to where the library is located.
Hope that helps.

If the library in question is an import library for a DLL, then you must
also set the link flag to Dynamic linking in TargetExpert. If it is set
to Static linking, you will see the same symptoms you described.


Good luck.

Neither our Watcom 10.5 nor the brand new Visual C++ 4.0 compilers
have a TargetExpert. Have I missed a significant extension to the
definition of the C programming language, or is this answer limited
to a special implementation that the original poster may or may not
have?

If you post "solutions" that are limited to _one_ implementation 
of a language, at least say so in your "answer".

The above posting appeared in comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.tools.owl
newsgroup, which deals with issues related to the ObjectWindows
framework offered with Borland C/C++ compilers. The above solution
applies to that compiler.

If you need solutions to Watcom or Visual C++ compiler related problems,
then surely the owl newsgroup is the wrong one to post it to.
