can anyone help me figure out why these following linker errors occur:

Why?
There are only really a few linker errors:

1. "Undefined Identifier" error
2. "Multiple or Redefinition " error
3. Cannot find a particular library error.

You have mostly type 2 - "Redefinition" errors.
Most of those errors are saying that while linking libcmt.lib library it came across a function
that it had already found in the LIBCMTD.lib library.

Given that libcmt.lib is the release library and LIBCMTD.lib is the debug version of
the same library -You would link one OR the other depending on whether you
are making a Release or Debug build NOT both.
it looks like your project linker properties are incorrectly set.
Check your project linker settings.

This last error:
LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'atls.lib' is saying that it cannot find this library
to link it in.
Again Recheck your project linker settings (maybe you have not set the correct path or set it incorrectly)

im using c++ express edition if that means anything. ive managed to get rid of the first 10 errors all i have left is the last link error LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'atls.lib'

[jayhick]

i cant seem to find out how to solve that one. any further suggestions

There could be bad news on that score -

Do a search and see if you can find it on your hard drive.

Project settings, Configuration Properties, General, then under "Use of ATL", there should be "Not using ATL"

If you want ATL, you have to pay. ATL is cool and all.. and I say it's worth to beg your boss for a license but I wouldn't pay just for personal use. :-D


Ciao, Imi.
