AkMemoryMgr.lib(rpmalloc.obj) unresolved external symbol OpenProcessToken, AdjustTokenPrivileges...

Question

Hello, 

Previously I was running an older version of WWise in my dev environment without any issue (2018).
In that version, we had to define:

AllocHook

FreeHook

VirtualFreeHook

 

In version 2019.2.11, this seems to have been removed as per the documentation.

 

However when I try to compile, I get the following, during the linking stage.

AkMemoryMgr.lib(rpmalloc.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp_OpenProcessToken referenced in function ak_rpmalloc_initialize_config
AkMemoryMgr.lib(rpmalloc.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp_AdjustTokenPrivileges referenced in function ak_rpmalloc_initialize_config
AkMemoryMgr.lib(rpmalloc.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp_LookupPrivilegeValueW referenced in function ak_rpmalloc_initialize_config

Answer 1

These missing symbols are from the Windows advapi32.lib library. It seems it is not in your project's link dependencies.

To solve the issue, add the advapi32.lib library in the link dependencies of your project and rebuild.

Thanks, that was it!

I actually came across this, but failed to include it correctly.
