I was trying to compile a c project in visual studio which generated by ECPG file then I got this error LNK1104 cannot open file 'C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\14\lib.obj even though I added this line C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\14\lib in Additional Dependencies in addtion to this line C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\14\include in Additional Include Directories

I tried to open Additional Dependencies to change C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\14\lib To "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\14\lib" but still the same error

this is not the correct way to link a library in VScode

go to Project Properties -> Configuration Properties -> Linker -> Input -> Additional Dependencies. and add the name of the library you want to link

finally, make sure that you are configuring it in the correct platform (x86 or x64)

The Visual Studio linker is unable to locate the required PostgreSQL library files, which results in the error "LNK1104 cannot open file 'C:Program FilesPostgreSQL14lib.obj".

  • Verify the Visual Studio settings are right, double-check the path to the 'lib' directory, and look for security involvement or problems with file permissions.

  • Consider using environment variables as well to indicate the proper locations.
