Error L128 Symbol not found

Hi floks

When the linker error L128 happens, REFERENCE MADE TO UNRESOLVED EXTERNAL the name is listed under the message.
But a double click won't jump to the line in the source file where the missing name was found.

And it's not possible to start a search with the listed name without handwork.

Is there a trick to jump to the wrong source file possion?

    I would guess that this is because linkers "don't do" source files. That is the job of a compiler or assembler - turning source files into object files.

    Linkers work with object files, and they have little to no way of knowing how the object file was generated, and therefore usually can't give "source file line numbers" of the problem they found.
