Error 2607, "error LNK1104: cannot open file"

Question

I have written C++ code in Visual Studio 2010 using NI GPIB version 4.61 and added all the libraries required by the code, but it is giving an error related to ".obj" file. Although I have added .CPP file of the same code and the header file related to this.

Error   2607    error LNK1104: cannot open file '%NIEXTCCOMPILERSUPP%\lib32\msvc\ni4882.obj'    D:\F1Nh-TESTER-2014-08-04\PUMA_LED_TESTER\PUMA_LED_TESTER\LINK  PUMA_LED_TESTER

I have seen lots of solutions for the same question, but nothing worked for me. I have added double quotes (" ") to the path of the library in linker as I saw in a solution on Stack Overflow. How do I solve this issue?

Answer 1

Try Why do I get a linker error (LNK 2019) when using NI-488.2 driver in Microsoft Visual C\C++? (National Instruments knowledge base).

Among other things, it suggest this:

Include the object file in your project by adding the ni4882.obj object file to your project

and

Complete the following steps to include the file in the linker options

1. In Visual Studio open Project » Properties.

2. Select linker in the tree diagram.

3. On the command line, enter %NIEXTCCOMPILERSUPP%\lib32\msvc\ni4882.obj. This environment variable points at the external compiler support folder.
