LNK2001: ___security_cookie

by Davide Archetti · in Torque Game Engine Advanced · 10/31/2004 (6:42 am) · 3 replies

Hi, I'm compiling TSE and I get 61 errors of this kind:
d3dx9.lib(jcdctmgr.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol ___security_cookie
d3dx9.lib(trees.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol ___security_cookie
d3dx9.lib(cshaderprogram.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol ___security_cookie
....
d3dx9.lib(jcdctmgr.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol @__security_check_cookie@4
d3dx9.lib(trees.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol @__security_check_cookie@4
....

practically all the .obj report this error.
Does someone know why?
Thanks

Edit:
I forgot I use VC6 and TGE works fine

Get the October 2004 Extras pack for your compiler/linker. It can be found at Microsoft.

Also, good practice is to name the software you're using if you want help with it. I'm guessing that you're using VC6.

You have to manually install the files. So unzip the archive yourself and look for the replacement d3dx9.lib and either copy it over the one in the SDK install or put it in it's own directory and put that at the top of the library search tree.
