Hello,

I'm trying to implement the statistics summary window in QtShark, but
when I use these two functions I keep getting LNK2019 "unresolved
external symbol" error from my VS2010 compiler:

summary_fill_in(&cfile, &summary);
summary_fill_in_capture(&cfile, &global_capture_opts, &summary);

both are located in summary.c

I've tested using the two functions in main.cpp(which properly
included the headers needed), and I got the same link error.


The headers I've included are as follows:
#include <string.h>
#include <time.h>
#include "config.h"
#include <glib.h>
#include "qt_ui_utils.h"
#include <epan/strutil.h>
#include <wiretap/wtap.h>
#include "globals.h"
#include "file.h"
#include "summary.h"
#include "version_info.h"

#ifdef HAVE_LIBPCAP
#include "../capture.h"
#include "ui/capture_globals.h"
#include "../capture-pcap-util.h"
#endif

Regards,
Try changing summary.h as follows
WS_DLL_PUBLIC extern void
summary_fill_in(capture_file *cf, summary_tally *st);

#ifdef HAVE_LIBPCAP
WS_DLL_PUBLIC extern void
summary_fill_in_capture(capture_file *cf, capture_options
*capture_opts, summary_tally *st);
#endif

Regards
Anders
The line
#include "ws_symbol_export.h"
should be added at the beginning of summary.h also

Regards,
Pascal.

I'm sorry, but this won't work on my environment.

I still get the same error :
