error LNK2005: _DllMain@12 already defined in MSVCRT.lib

Question

I am getting this linker error.

mfcs80.lib(dllmodul.obj) : error LNK2005: _DllMain@12 already defined in MSVCRT.lib(dllmain.obj)

Answer 1

I have personally got rid of this error this way: right-clicked project in the Solution Explorer, selected Properties from pop-up menu, clicked Linker tab and added mfcs71ud.lib into Additional Dependencies. If you're using Visual Studio 2005, it should be "80" instead of "71" and so on.
