Cannot link static library

[Bill]

Hello. I am trying to add growl to the open source application
dvbe4sage. The first step is to put a simple test message in place,
but I cannot get the static library to link. When I do I get
unresolved externals for everything in the library. This is using
visual studio 2008 and unmanaged C++ and linking libgrowl-static+
+.lib.
It looks to me like the static library was not built properly:

libgrowl-static.lib is 19KB in size.
libgrowl-static++.lib is 3KB in size and is even smaller that the
shared c++ library.

In desperation I tried to also link in the C static lib but that
didn't work either.

Am I missing something? Has anyone gotten the static C++ library to
link successfully?

Thanks.

Are you using the library from here: https://github.com/psinnott/gntp-send ?

I am no C/C++ expert, but maybe Peter or mattn will see this and be
able to jump in and help out.

Alas I'm not really an expert either. Are you including sockets
support ws2_32.lib? If not can you add this in and see what errors you
are getting.

And define GROWL_STATIC.

Figured it out. You need to link in both static libs and add a
preprocessor definition GROWL_CPP_STATIC.

Thanks guys.

Sorry, I found mistake in Makefile.msc .

Please pull & re-build all.
