The secchk.lib is not part of either Platform Builder or Windows CE/Mobile
SDK.
You can ask your vendor for this file.
You can simply remove it from link option whether you really need it or not.
Thanks

It's part of the PPC03 and later SDKs. You're compiling against a PPC SDK
but not adding it to your linker options. This typically happens when you
have a project targeting another SDK and then modify it to target a Pocket
PC.

My vendor hasn't this file.

Ok, but now it gives me another error:

LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'ccrtrtti.lib'

Removing this lib, too.. another error occurs:

oleaut32.lib(OLEAUT32.dll) : fatal error LNK1112: module machine type
'THUMB' conflicts with target machine type 'ARM'

Resolved changing /MACHINE:ARM in /MACHINE:THUMB and now everything seems to
work.

Excuse me, why all these changes? :-O

Chris,
You got it.

I was able to find secchk.lib from both PocketPC 2003 and SmartPhone 2003
SDK in Visual Studio Net 2005.

But I could not find secchk.lib from either PocketPC 2003 SDK or Windwos
Mobile 2005 SDK from Microsoft.
So you'll have a link error if you download SDK from MS website.
I'm not sure why ?
Thanks
John Baik

Good question. I've only seen this error when building in Studio, so I
lucked out and had the lib already. Not sure why it's not in the
downloadable SDKs - I'd think that would be a bug in the SDK.
