Error 1 error D8016: '/ZI' and '/clr' command-line options are incompatible

Hi,

The current project which I am working on has the following error when I try to build it.

Error 1 error D8016: '/ZI' and '/clr' command-line options are incompatible

Can anyone please explain what the problem may be?

Kind Regards

The error message seems quite self-explanatory. The compiler command line options /ZI and /clr can't be used together. Did you read the documentation for that error: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/t0cs92zx.aspx

How are you trying to compile your program?

If you're using Visual Stdio, what is the exact version?

What type of program are you trying to write C++, C, C++/CLI, C#, etc.

I'm trying to write a C++ program using visual studio 2013.

I'm just using the debug tool in visual studio.

How did you create your project? This error message is usually caused by selecting incompatible project options. For a C++ program you probably need to select a Win32 console application and make sure you don't select anything to do with .NET or CLI.

The above is only a guess since I don't use that compiler and I don't do Windows.

I've tried using win32 project, win32 console application. I have no idea what is wrong.

I am only trying to use the System namespace.

I am only trying to use the System namespace.

That means that you're not trying to write a standard C++ program because the "System namespace" is not part of the C++ standard. It is part of one of the .NET languages, like C# or C++/CLI.
