You absolutely must not ignore linker errors, ever! A linker is telling you that it's confused about a symbol that's defined in multiple places - where should it take the definition from? Do you really want it to be arbitrary? What about when you change your code and the linker randomly decides to take the other definition which might suddenly break your code?

Instead of fighting the tool, correct your code so that it compiles and links without errors. This MSDN article has some information on fixing it, along with links for more information.
