Trying to configure standalone /MT - msvcprt.lib(MSVCP100.dll) : error LNK2005

Hi all,

I’m currently trying to compile a project as a standalone application, and despite reading through numerous threads (both OF and general MSVS) I’m still experiencing issues. The reason I want it to be standalone is because compiling as /MD and including the dll’s doesn’t seem to work consistently (it’s worked on 2 of the 4 machines attempted).

I’d be hugely grateful if anyone could either a) suggest how I could get the /MD to work consistently, or b) suggest where I could be going wrong with the /MT configuration.

So far I’ve tried:

adding a manifest file to Microsoft.VC100.CRT as described here: http://forum.openframeworks.cc/t/a-of-program-can-be-standalone/249/0 (and everything else on that thread)
compiling the poco libs as mt (this was required to fix another issue anyway)
compiling the addon I’m using as an mt lib (I’m using Patricio’s ofxFX addon)

I’m still getting a whole host of LNK2005’ errors, though I have no idea where the duplicate code could be that’s causing these:

Any help would be hugely appreciated!

Hi Matt,

Those errors explain there is a conflict with default library.
Try this:
[list]

Open the project’s Property Pages dialog box.
Click the Linker folder.
Click the Input property page.
Add msvcprt in the list of the libraries we want to ignore, in the Ignore Specific Library property.

[/list]

Thanks for the quick reply! This seemed to fix the immediate problem, though it left me with a couple of missing link errors.

In the meantime I’ve managed to have a bit more luck moving everything over to Code Blocks and compiling with GCC - this has at least allowed me to get it working on a few more machines (albeit with the dll’s), but this will have to suffice for now. I imagine I’ll pick up the search for a standalone solution once this project’s done.
