LNK2005 error while building Kernel.

NTDEV
1

Hello All,

I am working on WinCE Device Drivers.

While building the kernel I am getting the following
error.
nk.lib(printf.obj) : error LNK2005: NKDbgPrintfW
already defined in hal.lib(COREDLL.dll)

I did some trials as below.

  1. I used the linker option /FORCE:MULTIPLE
    The Error went away, howaever thrown a warning
    saying that Image may not boot up and it really did
    not.
  2. I set the libraris nk.lib and coredll.lib in
    TARGETLIBS in the correct order in the sources of
    Kernel and the error went away.
    However still image doesn’t boots up.
  3. then I included the coredll.lib as TARGETLIBS as
    part of hal.lib sources.
    However some functions of coredll.lib like
    InterruptInitialize are unresolved externel symbol
    while building Kernel.
    To generate kern.exe
    TARGETLIBS=nk.lib \
    hal.lib \
    fulllibc.lib \
    loadauth.lib \
    To generate hal.lib
    I have used the TARGETLIBS=coredll.lib
    then the above mentioned 3rd point came.

Can u tell me how to resolve this error.

Thanks n Regards.

Have you EVER been able to build a working image from your source base?
That is, are you working on the initial bring-up, or are you modifying
something which was known to work previously on your hardware? Are you
sure your boot loader is OK?

Initial bring-up is perhaps the nastiest part of CE programming. You
end up having to use other low-level tools to make sure that the bytes
are actually getting to memory, in their expected locations, with the
proper relocation.
