in reply to Inline::C with MSVC and linking external library

Is your library really called: -usbi2cio.lib?

    Yes, the file name is usbi2cio.lib. It is a driver for an I2C board. And according to the Inline::C documentation, the dash goes in front?

      No. That parameter is basically the command line switch for the compiler to link the named library, -l and then the library name:

      use Inline C => Config => LIBS => '-lyourlib';

      So, in your case, I would try

      use Inline C => Config => LIBS => '-lusbi2cio';

        Ahh, thank you for your help. That works! I also discovered that doing
        use Incline C => Config => LIBS => 'usbi2cio.lib';
        works just as well as what you provided.
