Linker error on Windows

[Shadi Khalek]

Hi,

I am trying to build chromium on windows 7 for the first time,
following instructions (http://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/
build-instructions-windows#TOC-Troubleshooting), but can't fix these
linker errors:
...
293>default_plugin.lib(install_dialog.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved

293>..\build\Debug\chrome.dll : fatal error LNK1120: 2 unresolved
externals

I have full logs if more info is helpful. The errors appear while
building views.dll and chrome.dll

I am running VS 2008 professional on windows 7 64bit, and I installed
all required patches and software recommended in the instructions (and
I did all of that twice, except for re-installing VS).

Any help on solving these linker problems?

Thanks!

I've seen these errors with Express versions but not Professional. Linking against atlthunk.lib usually fixes it with Express.

It looks as if the ATL lib files are missing. Try to build any ATL
sample or a test project made by the ATL wizard.

Just for a follow up,

I ran All programs -> Windows Driver Kits -> WDK # -> Build Envs -> Windows 7 -> x64 Free Build Environment

The ATL libs files were installed, I had to add to chrome_dll properties-> Linker -> Additional Library Directories the path "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\atlmfc\lib" 

This was the last change that made my build successful, I tried using static link to ATL but that didn't succeed (even though that modification fixed my wizard ATL project build).

Thanks for the replies.

Carlos, you are right, it seems I don't have the ATL lib files because a test ATL project gave the same errors. 

However, I checked the WDK installation and it was successfully installed (selecting all its components). 

Any idea how to troubleshoot this? 

Thanks,
