Building with dokan.lib

Question

I have downloaded the Dokan Library 0.6.0 (used to write a file system in user mode). I'm using VS 2013 and have created a project to build the sample called mirror.c. It uses a LIB called dokan.lib. It compiles just fine but the linker gives an error saying "unresolved external symbol __imp__DokanMain@8". I dumped the lib and __imp__DokanMain@8 does exist within dokan.lib.

Under Properties->Linker->Additional Library Directories, I added "c:\Program Files (x86)\Dokan\DokanLibrary" but that didn't help. Then I changed that to "c:\Program Files (x86)\Dokan\DokanLibrary\dokan.lib" but that also didn't help.

I have read everything at the dokan web site but nothing talks about building with Visual Studio.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Please move "dokan.lib" from Settings -> Linker ->General -> Additional Library Directories. This is meant to include only the paths to the libraries. You can leave the path to the library in tact in there (i.e, C:\Program Files (x86)\Dokan\DokanLibrary).

Place the "dokan.lib" in Settings->Linker->Input->Additional Dependencies.
