Re: Unable to link (static MFC)

I think I need to use /MT switch instead of /MD
I will try with that!

Hi,
Thanks all for your help/comments! :)

I library that I have to link with my project doesn't have a project file. It uses makefiles(its very complex)

Can you please tell me where to change the settings for linking MFC statically. Actually, I don't think that this library is using MFC (99.99% sure).

I checked the options for 'cl.exe' and 'link.exe' but found no options for that.

the flags being used for cl are

/MD /Ox /O2 /Ob2 /W3 /WX /Gs0 /GF /Gy /nologo -I"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\PlatformSDK\Include" -DOPENSSL_SYSNAME_WIN32 -DWIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN -DL_ENDIAN -DDSO_WIN32 -D_CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE -D_CRT_NONSTDC_NO_DEPRECATE -DOPENSSL_USE_APPLINK -I. /Fdout32dll -DOPENSSL_NO_CAMELLIA -DOPENSSL_NO_SEED -DOPENSSL_NO_RC5 -DOPENSSL_NO_MDC2 -DOPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT -DOPENSSL_NO_CMS -DOPENSSL_NO_KRB5 -DOPENSSL_NO_DYNAMIC_ENGINE


and for linker it's

/nologo /subsystem:console /opt:ref /LIBPATH:"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\PlatformSDK\Lib"

If this library/dll is not using MFC then what needs to be done so that it doesn't create any problem when used in another project which links MFC statically?

Hi Ashutosh,
I understand that you encountered the link error when you build the third party library in statically link.
If I have misunderstood, please let me know.

From the error message, it is a common seen issue. You do not need to exclude libcmt.lib from linking. I recommend that you check if all the dependency projects or libraries are compiled with the same setting /MT[d]. Ensure that all of them have one setting here. You can find this setting at Project Properties->Configuration Properties-> C/C++ -> Code Generation-> Runtime Library.

For more information, you may refer to this article:

Hope this helps. If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to let me know.
Best regards,
