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

[Oriol]

    Hi, Karl! Thank you for your quick reply!
    After building expat-1.95.5 I obtained four different subdirectories
with libraries in: Debug, Debug_static, Release and Release_static. So I
added "libexpat.lib" to Project->Settings->Link->Library modules, and the
path to this library in Tools->Options->Directories->Libraries.
    So I think I am linking the static library, not the dll.
    Is it right?
    What else could be that external reference error due?

    Thank you very much again.

    Oriol
