fatal error LNK1104 for 'zlib125-static-mtdll-debug.lib'

[Fendayen]

I am receiving the following fatal error link when attempting to build the solution in VC++ 2008:

LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'zlib125-static-mtdll-debug.lib'

As a note, changing the runtime library to other versions had no impact on the error.

The error message is IMO clear VC++ is not able to find (open) file zlib125-static-mtdll-debug.lib. It is part of leptonica-1.68-win32-lib-include-dirs.zip.

Please follow instruction in https://github.com/agl/jbig2enc/blob/master/INSTALL for VC++ 2008.

I'm sorry, I should have been more specific in my description. I have followed the instructions and downloaded the correct leptonica zip file. The problem is that although the zlib file is present and included within the directory, the program is still showing the error when I attempt to build the solution. I have verified that VC++ is pulling from the leptonica files by manually including the file paths in the VC++ directory. I have also attempted building the solution on a separate computer (both Windows 7), but I am still receiving the same error.

I tried it too and it works for me ;-) Can you please post log of build process? It should be: jbig2enc\vs2008\jbig2\Debug\BuildLog.htm jbig2enc\vs2008\libjbig2enc\Debug\BuildLog.htm

Thank you for listing the specific paths for the build logs.

I can not see there error message you are reporting: LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'zlib125-static-mtdll-debug.lib'

I just see there: libjbig2enc - 0 error(s), 6 warning(s) => library was create without problem.

And it looks like you posted libjbig2enc log instead of jbig2 log (big2enc\vs2008\jbig2\Debug\BuildLog.htm) - there is info about 'ibjbig2enc - 0 error(s), 6 warning(s)' instead of 'jbig2 - 0 error(s), 0 warning(s)'.

My error was caused by a directory issue. I had placed the Leptonica libraries within the wrong directory. The problem has been fixed -- thank you very much for your assistance.

I tried to compile everything yesterday but ran into this same issue. However, the link at https://github.com/agl/jbig2enc/blob/master/INSTALL was for vs2008 and is officially dead. What is the current way out of this situation?
