Getting error LNK2019 when compiling with VS2012 compiler

I have a C source file to build 32 and 64 bit binaries and it builds fine with Visual Studio 2005. When I try to build the same with VS2012 on Windows 2008 Server I get the below Link error. While the 32 bit builds fine, the 64 bit is fails.

I do not have a VS project to build this source instead I use a makefile to build.

msvcrt.lib(gs_support.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp_GetTickCount64 referenced in function __security_init_cookie

I have searched and found lot of hits but none seem to help me as the solution/workaround given are for projects created using VS IDE.

I have defined -DWINVER=0x0600 -D_WIN32_WINNT=0x0600

Can someone help please?

Got it resolved. Wrong version of Kernel32.lib was being picked for 64 bit build. It was from an older version of MSSDK. Updated the LIB path to insert C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\lib\win8\um\x64 helped to resolve the issue. Thanks every one.
