The VC2005 compiler tools does not support linking libraries from VC7.1 with binaries build by the VC2005 compiler.

You can try linking to whatever library you want (using the solution properties, linker command line--adding the full path to your lib there) but it is not recommended or guaranteed to build succesfully.

You can't use a static library that uses a different CRT than the current compiler supports.

i think that i just need to set it up in the inviroment somehow
i do have vs2003 on the same machine but i want to do the project in vs2005
so how do tell it to use 7.1libs it have to be possible without to many jumps

Or you can just contact the owner of the of the lib and get the sources if applicable.

If you have the sources of the libraries build with the VC7.1 tools, you need to recompile these sources once more but with the VC2005 tools.

The solution is to rebuild your 7.1 libs with VC2005.

it must be possible to link to another lib in vs2005

how do i create a project that uses vc7.1 crt lib

Can you try rebuilding the VC7.1 library with the VC2005 compiler
