Problems with linking CEF3

[gbaltare]

I'm having some problems with using CEF in my application which uses the MD/MDd runtime library linking.

I have downloaded the latest build of CEF3 from cefbuilds.com and followed the instructions How to link CEF against a different run-time library.

I have built the "libcef_dll_wrapper" project after changing "Runtime Library" to "/MD" and turning the treat warnings as errors flag off. Then I linked the resulting "libcef_dll_wrapper.lib" binary to my project.

However, when I try to build my project I get the following errors:

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Then I linked the resulting "libcef_dll_wrapper.lib" binary to my project.

The error messages suggest that you're not actually linking libcef_dll_wrapper.lib, or that the libcef_dll_wrapper.lib you're linking does not contain the necessary CEF objects.

Thanks. It turns out the problem was that the linker was finding a different file named "libcef_dll_wrapper.lib" than I was expecting.
