LNK2005 Linking Errors using gtest in VS2008 project #29

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Download gtest
2. Follow steps to upgrade solution/projects to VS2008
3. Create a new console application in VS2008
4. Add references to the gtest library/include files
5. Add the statement to run all google tests.

Instead of a successful build, you may receive a LNK2005 error in VS2008.

This happened to me as I was attempting to adopt Google test for our MFC-
based project.  I was able to solve the problem and wanted to post it here 
for others.

The following article provides additional information on LNK2005 errors.
http://cubicspot.blogspot.com/2007/06/solving-pesky-lnk2005-errors.html

Option #2 fixed my issue.  In "Properties..." under "C++->Code Generation-
>Runtime Library" Multi-threaded(/MT) was selected for the Release build 
and Multi-Threaded Debug (/MTd) was selected for the Debug build.  My 
project was set to Multi-threaded DLL (/MD) and Multi-threaded Debug DLL 
(/MDd) respectively.  Any mismatch has the potential to cause this error.

I am not an expert on the subject by any means, but wanted to provide what 
I know for others that may experience the issue.

I'm using VS2005. This solution doesn't work for me. After changing to /MD and 
/MDd, 
got many other linking errors (from gtest color example):

I think this is fixed in the svn head.  Please wait for the next release of 
gtest or
check out the svn head revision directly.

The issue is still there in the 1.6.0 version.

Steps to reproduce:
1. downloaded the googletest 1.6.0 version
2. converted the project to VS2008 and built it
3. build my test project with /MTd, linking to gtestd.lib and gtest_maind.lib
4. got errors:
