I have a VC++ 5 project (a DLL) that compiles and links fine in a Debug
build.  

However, when I tried to compile for a Release build (any Release build,
i.e., ReleaseMinSize, ReleaseMinDependency, etc.), I am getting some
LNK2005 (xxx already defined in StdAfx.obj) errors, and depending on how
I set the 'Project Settings-General-Microsoft Foundation Class' and
'Project Settings-C++-Code Generation-User Runtime library' settings, it
sometimes seem to trying to pull in '_main', '_argv', etc.

The LNK2005 errors are saying the 'new' and 'delete' and '_fltused' are
already defined in StdAfx.obj, coming from msvcrt.lib, nafxcw.lib, or
libcmt.lib.

The best that I've been able to manage is 1 LNK2005 error ('Use MFC in a
Shared DLL' and 'Multithreaded DLL'):

=======================================================
Linking...
msvcrt.lib(dllsupp.obj) : error LNK2005: __fltused already defined in
StdAfx.obj
msvcrt.lib(dllsupp.obj) : warning LNK4006: __fltused already defined in
StdAfx.obj; second definition ignored

ReleaseMinDependency/foo.dll : fatal error LNK1169: one or more multiply
defined symbols found
Error executing link.exe.

foo.dll - 2 error(s), 5 warning(s)
=========================================================

Here's what I get when I set 'Use MFC as a Static Library' and
'Multithreaded':

==============================================================
Linking...
nafxcw.lib(afxmem.obj) : error LNK2005: "void * __cdecl operator

ReleaseMinDependency/foo.dll : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved

Error executing link.exe.

foo.dll - 4 error(s), 2 warning(s)
=============================================================

I've tried the 'ignore library' thing (adding the .lib to the 'ignore
library' and 'library' settings), but in most cases, that generated even
more link errors (mostly unresolveds).

Can anyone suggest what I might be doing wrong, or what I should do to
get this to link clean?  BTW, I'd especially like to have to built
'Using MFC in a Static library'.

Thanks in advance,
Jim

I've been able to get a clean compile and link in a ReleaseMinDependency
build.  The main problem seemed to have been that I had to delete a
"_ATL_MIN_CRT" switch in the settings.

This also compiles and links in a ReleaseMinSize build, but with this
build, I am continuing to get an LNK4006 warning:

================================================================
Linking...

   Creating library ReleaseMinSize/foo.lib and object
ReleaseMinSize/foo.exp
Registering ActiveX Control...

foo.dll - 0 error(s), 20 warning(s)
=================================================================

I've tested this build, and it seems to be working, but I am STILL a
little bothered about the above warning.  

Can anyone suggest what I might do to eliminated/avoid this warning in
the build???

Thanks in advance,
Jim
