Advertising » Issues with Creating a DLL That Refers to Another DLL ?

hello,

So I am making a dll. It refers to another project's dll (made by someone else, but I built it with my Visual Studio 2017). The problem I have is that when it builds, it dies on the linking step with errors like:

error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp__DBSetDir

I have a dll file with that symbol in there. I copied it to the project directory. (I had to copy the header files to the project directory because it could not find the files with an absolute path for some reason.)


Please help.
Thanks!


I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
