Hi,

Like a lot of people I'm a bit struggling with VisualD since I can't get the linker working.

My configuration:

Windows 8.1 x64, Visual Studio 2013.

So yes it means I have Windows 8.1 SDK, and the values commented in sc.ini are wrong. Therefore I changed only the following to:

VCINSTALLDIR=D:\software\vs2013\VC
WindowsSdkDir=C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1
LINKCMD=%VCINSTALLDIR%\bin\x86_amd64\link.exe
; needed with /DEBUG to find mspdb*.dll (only for VS2012 or VS2013)
PATH=%PATH%;%VCINSTALLDIR%\bin\x86_amd64;%VCINSTALLDIR%\..\Common7\IDE
; Platform libraries (Windows SDK 8.1)
LIB=%LIB%;"%WindowsSdkDir%\Lib\winv6.3\um\x64"


Still I can't link my basic Win32 API simple program. Here is the build log html:

The error message is not meaningfull enough so that I can figure out what is wrong, therefore any help or suggestion is appreciated.

Thanks!
