[Expat-discuss] Trouble using static expat in MS VC 6

[Karl Waclawek]

Check the "elements" example project in the Expat workspace.
It has a dependency on expat_static. Check the Link page
in the project settings. Does the Additional Library Path
field show something like ..\lib\Release_static ?

Make sure that the libexpat.lib the linker finds is the right one.
If in doubt, rename all instances of libexpat.lib except for
the right one, and see what the linker reports.
