Visual studio 2012, vc++ - error LNK1181: cannot open input file '*\dllmain.obj'

Question

I get this error message when i try to build the project. I think there is a space in the path specified. I am completely new to VS 2012. This question may be simple, but. Kindly please tell me how do I remove the space in the path? (xxx\ _space_dllmain.obj). Or is there an other reason why my build fails

Have you read this ? As quoted in the documentation::

Another possible cause for LNK1181 is that a long file name with embedded spaces was not enclosed in quotation marks. In that case, the linker will only recognize a file name up to the first space, and then assume a file extension of .obj. The solution to this situation is to enclose the long file name (path plus file name) in quotation marks.
