Why doesn't chilkat-lib work in VSC++?

[Arne Kristoffer]

Hey! :)

I found the functions in the chilkat-library usefull, so i downloaded it. If you havn't figured it out yet, I use the programming language C++ and i use the visual studio express IDE.

What I do, is:
1: Save the chilkat-folders at the HDD.
2: Open Project/solutions-settings and add the include and library-folders to the list.
3: Use one of the examples at chilkat's websites.

When i use one example, I use this one:

#include <CkFtp2.h>
#include <CkString.h>

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    CkFtp2 ftp;

    bool success;

    //  Any string unlocks the component for the 1st 30-days.
    success = ftp.UnlockComponent("Anything for 30-day trial");
    if (success != true) {
        printf("%s\n",ftp.lastErrorText());
        return;
    }

    ftp.put_Hostname("ftp.chilkatsoft.com");
    ftp.put_Username("****");
    ftp.put_Password("****");

    //  The default data transfer mode is "Active" as opposed to "Passive".

    //  Connect and login to the FTP server.
    success = ftp.Connect();
    if (success != true) {
        printf("%s\n",ftp.lastErrorText());
        return;
    }

    //  Change to the remote directory where the file will be uploaded.
    success = ftp.ChangeRemoteDir("junk");
    if (success != true) {
        printf("%s\n",ftp.lastErrorText());
        return;
    }

    //  Upload a file.
    CkString localFilename;
    localFilename = "hamlet.xml";
    CkString remoteFilename;
    remoteFilename = "hamlet.xml";

    success = ftp.PutFile(localFilename,remoteFilename);
    if (success != true) {
        printf("%s\n",ftp.lastErrorText());
        return;
    }

    ftp.Disconnect();

    printf("File Uploaded!\n");
    }

This won't compile, so i include the headers stdio, time and windows. But, of course, I have no entry point, so I create this main function:

int main()
{
	ChilkatSample();
	return 0;
}

I get plenty of linking-errors!

You also need to add the library name(s) as well to the list of additional libraries (also on the linker settings somewhere).
