How to create static library using existing .cpp and .h files (in this case SNAP library)

[EDN Admin]

Hi Guys,
I am encountering a problem while trying to create a static library from the provided snap and glib codes though I have not changed any file.
My intention is to create a static library using the code from Snap library ( http://snap.stanford.edu/snap/download.html http://snap.stanford.edu/snap/download.html ) and then to reference it from my project. So I created a VC project (by
name SnapLib) of type standard library (.lib) and created a Header file and .cpp file of the same name. In these two files I copied the same code as in Snap.h and Snap.cpp. Now, based on SnapLib.h, I copied and pasted the included header and .cpp files into
my SnapLib project from the downloaded project location.

Then from the command line I tried to compile the library to generate SnapLib.obj just to get the below errors where it says that CntNonZNodes is not a member of TSnap though I found the function CntNonZNodes defined within TSnap in alg.h.

In short, I am trying to create a static library from some downloaded .cpp and .h codes but facing some problems. The error message says that the functions are not a member of TSnap namespace though in the header file alg.h the functions are defined
and declared within namespace.
Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Somnath
