unicows.lib : debugging information corrupt; recompile module

[Ganesh Pagade]

Hi,

I have received a source code from client which needs to be build
using VS 6.0. I have been able to successfully compile the code but
get the following link time error:

Creating library ..\lib\CSRMFC.LIB and object ..\lib\CSRMFC.exp
unicows.lib(failure.obj) : fatal error LNK1103: debugging information
corrupt; recompile module
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'link' : return code '0x44f'

I have the following softwares installed:
Visual studio 6 service pack 6.
Microsoft Platform SDK February 2003 edition. (Build 5.2.3790.0)
Microsoft Data Access Components (Version 2.7)
Windows Installer SDK (Version 2.0)

Any help on this would be appreciated.

Regards,
Ganesh

You either need to compile/link with later version OR not compile debug
version.

Time for a newer FAQ about this issue:

in this cab file you will find a unicows.lib that works with VC 6.0

http://download.microsoft.com/download/platformsdk/sdk/update/win98mexp/en-us/3718.1/CoreSDK-common.2.1.cab

this cab file comes with the October 2002 SDK and luckily, still happens to
be on the Microsoft servers.

just open up the cab and rename the file that has the word unicows in it to
unicows.lib

Ted.
