MSVis-Studio C++ libraries and linker errors

I am trying to link a program made of about 30 files,
all in the same directory (a few use MFC classes) on
Microsoft Visual C++.
There appear to be some conflicts between libraries
I have set the link option to "Debug Multi-threaded DLL".
And I need the "msvcrtd.lib" I have tried typing
"/nodefaultlib:...." for most of the other libraries in the
linker options text box but that just produces evern more
linker errors of the same type (LNK 2005, LNK4098,
LNK2001)

Below is the Linker Output:

--------------------Configuration: Sync_Gener - Win32 Debug--------------------

what could be going wrong?

So you're not linking with the Winsock library?

The correct path to the winsock library("WSock32.lib" )
is shown in the
Tools/Options/Library Directories options box.

and The program does use winsock.

the linker should be able to find it, right?


(obviously, I never tried to get the linker to Ignore WSock32.lib
I woudln't want that)

If you are using winsock you still need to explicitly include it in your project...I think its in Project->options->Link (or something).....and then add it along with the other libs

But then if you are using the MFC CSocket class I dont think you need it

Winsock IS explicitly included in my files.

The current header for WinSock is winsock2.h and the library you need to link to is ws2_32.lib.

I've included that in my libraries, but I'm still getting
linker warnings such as this:

nafxcwd.lib(afxmem.obj) : warning LNK4006: "void * __cdecl operator new(unsigned int)" (??2@YAPAXI@Z) already defined in libc.lib(new.obj); second definition ignored

You could try ommit the LIBC.lib from your linker's library list....Its probably the lesser of both libraries....I dont know if this will work but try;

Project->Settings->Link

Choose Category->Input->Ignore Libraries and add LIBC.lib....

Then see if it will link without errors.....

I ignored LIBC.lib and got this :

apparently it needs LIBC.lib to resolve these symbols, or some
other library??

Hmm...and I suppose you need nafxcwd.lib for the MFC objects....

Weird thing....you use nafxcwd.lib and the last 'd' signifies the debug library........but LIBC.lib is used and not the corresponding LIBCD.lib......

Dont know if this is a problem?

Sorry I cant really offer any more.....but if you find the answer, please post it

I added Mfc42.lib to my list of library linker options
(I also removed _DEBUG definition option from settings
and got rid of any libraries ending in "d" on the list)

and now it links sucessfully.

apparently I was missing Mfc42.lib or any equivalent to it,
and/or there was an incompatibility between debug
and non-debug libraries being linked-to .
