Link errors while building external with Visual Studio 2008

    Dear All,
    I am trying to port an external written for OSx to the windows platform. Although it compiles fine, it gives me link errors, which I cannot resolve. I have tried to build example externals with success. I have checked my include path in link settings and it contains ".....c74supportmax-includes";".....c74supportmsp-includes" which the link errors are about.
    A part of the log file is shown below. Can you please advise me? I would appreciate any pointers
    error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _ampdb error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _z_dsp_setup error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _dsp_addv error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _sys_getsr error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _z_add_signalmethod error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _z_dsp_free

      My guess is this external originally referenced some Mac system call or some 3rd party dll. The linker can not resolve that symbol because the source does not exist. Alternately, they may be older cycling SDK calls.
