PRB: LNK2001: Unresolved External Symbol __chkesp
The information in this article applies to:
The C Run-Time (CRT), when used with:
Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Enterprise Edition 6.0
Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Professional Edition 6.0
Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Learning Edition 6.0
This article was previously published under Q191669
SYMPTOMS
When building a project with Visual C++ 6.0, you may get the following
linker error:
error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __chkesp
CAUSE
The new compiler stack-checking feature requires you to link with the C run-
time library.
RESOLUTION
Either link with one of the C run-time libraries or disable the compiler
stack checking feature (remove /GZ from the compiler switches).
STATUS
This behavior is by design.

Do you mean /Ge? There was /Ge in compiler options.

Turn off stack probed in the compiler options.

Hi,
I encountered a link error during compiling the AMCAP.
In debug mode compile, the following error occurred.
I have no idea how to remove this error and what the error means.
If you know this error, please let me know how to remove…
Thanks,
HyungJune
