How to solve link errors while MediaFoundation using?

Question

I have a solution that is works, then I was needed to add a project that has implementation of MediaFoundation. So, in order to include it I added this project as existing one then in configuration in General section I provided path to .h files and then in Liker input added .lib

After this I tried to use it and write include in one of my files and then invoked a few methods from this project that was added.

When I tried to compile my project I got an errors :

9>LINK : warning LNK4098: defaultlib 'MSVCRT' conflicts with use of other libs; use /NODEFAULTLIB:library

First of all it is strange because I have already use this project in other solution and there weren't problems, but ok after a research I have found out that I need to add in configuration Linker -> input a few more .libs

Mf.lib
Mfplat.lib
mfuuid.lib

(inspire of I don't have these lines in my other solution where does it works) and after I added these lines a lot of error gone, but one left

9>co_AudioDecoder.lib(co_AudioDecoderMF.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol MFCreateSourceReaderFromByteStream referenced in function "private: bool __cdecl co_AudioDecoderMF::CreateSourceReader(void)" (?CreateSourceReader@co_AudioDecoderMF@@AEAA_NXZ)

And I have not found nothing about how to solve it. I am a relatively new in c++ and it looks weird that in order to make MediaFoundation(big lib) work I need to spend a few hours in order to find out what to add in additional in order to make it works.

So, question is - what am I missing here?

Answer 1

I use it that way:

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <mfapi.h>
#include <mfplay.h>
#include <mfreadwrite.h>
#include <vector>
#include <string>
#include <ks.h>
#include <ksproxy.h>
#include <vidcap.h>
#include "UVCExtensionApp.h"

Answer 2

You need to include this :

#pragma comment(lib, "mfreadwrite")

Documentation usually helps :

MFCreateSourceReaderFromByteStream function
