LNK 2005 error in Visual Studio 2005

13.7k views Asked by At

I use Visual Studio 2005 on windows XP. I'm trying to use "Google Test" framework. But i couldn't manage to make just one test because of linker errors.

I built Google Test source files with /MDd option in Debug mode Than i created new project. Then made the steps written in this link to the project properties file.

Than i tried to build in Debug mode with /MDd option and following errors occured. Can you help please? Thank you.

 #include "gtest/gtest.h"
TEST(sample_test_case, sample_test)
{
    EXPECT_EQ(1, 1);
}

int main(int argc, char** argv) 
{ 
    return 1;
}

By working hours, I solved this problem by adding

"Configuration Properties -> Linker -> Ignore Specific Library"

"msvcprtd.lib;MSVCRTD.lib" libraries.
