I have simple DirectX project: 

#include <d3dx10.h>
#include <d3dx10math.h>

#pragma comment(lib, "d3d10.lib")
#pragma comment(lib, "d3dx10.lib")

int main()
{
    D3DXVECTOR3 u(1.0f, 2.0f, 3.0f);
    D3DXVECTOR3 v(2.0f, 1.0f, 3.0f);
    D3DXVECTOR3 a, b, c, d, e;

    float l = D3DXVec3Length(&u);
    float s = D3DXVec3Dot(&u, &v);

    D3DXVec3Normalize(&d, &u); // <- problem is here

    return 0;
 }

I added "include" and "lib" directories in my project properties and everything works fine, except D3DXVec3Normalize line. When I run the program it says: "error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _D3DXVec3Normalize@8 referenced in function _main".

Can anyone explain why D3DXVec3Length and D3DXVec3Dot functions work OK (without Normalize line) and D3DXVec3Normalize produces error?

P.S. I use DirectX SDK June 2010 and Visual Studio 2012.

  • \$\begingroup\$ I found solution: included Lib folder was a promlem. I switched from x64 to x86 folder and it works ok now. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Jul 18, 2013 at 12:34

So, at first I included following directories into my project: ...\DirectXSDK\Include and ...\DirectXSDK\Lib\x64 (I thought it is OK because I use Windows 7 64 and Visual Studio 2012 64). Everything worked fine except D3DXVec3Normalize function. Then I started to experiment and found the following solution: I switched from x64 to x86 directory in the project properties and error has gone. Looks like my project is x86 application, so I should use x86 libs in that case (I am beginner in c++ and DirectX).
