If you are trying to compile your Irrlicht Projects and get the error:

LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'odbc32.lib'

Then open up your Project Pages and go to Linker -> Input and remove all Additional Dependencies.

Then it should compile just fine.

Or install the full version of MS platform SDK; it's there among its packages.

Or DL the lib files I uploaded sometime ago here:

http://www.danielpatton.com/afecelis/src/odbcbcp.lib
http://www.danielpatton.com/afecelis/src/odbccp32.lib
(right click, save file/target as)

You don't need those libs in order to use Irrlicht.

Okay ... I am confused.

I am, painfully obviously in a few seconds, new to all of this and am getting the above error. Where I get confused is how I am to fix it.

I go to:
Project -> Properties -> Common Properties -> Project Dependencies

When I do this I find nothing at all listed. So my question is, what is the word "Linker" refering to in the above solution? I assume it is something I right click to pull up these options, but cannot seem to find the hot spot. I appreciate your help in advance.

I used the #pragma comment .. thing to include extra libraries

But you still have to set the directories to search for .lib files.
