linking issues

[jhopper]

I am writing an application in Visual Studio 6, c++, and am getting the following linking error (and several others like it)

libcpmt.lib(iostream.obj) : error LNK2005: "public: __thiscall std::ios_base::Init::Init(void)" (??0Init@ios_base@std@@QAE@XZ) already defined in msvcprtd.lib(MSVCP60D.dll)

However I am NOT including libcpmt.lib, so I have no idea why it is being compiled. any ideas?

I think I have seen this before. did you #include <iostream.h> in your code? I think "using namespace std" may fix your problem. You may or may not need the include.

FYI
I ended up pulling the application into 3 seperate application (there were three parts to it), got each of them working fine, and then merged them all togeather. At that point the problem kinda went away. not real sure why, but I think it has to do with the order that I was including things.

You have object modules compiled earier with different and inconsistent settings in your project. See the message text: libcpmt.lib is a (RTL) multi-threaded release library with static linkage, but msvcprtd.lib is a multi-threaded debug library with dynamic linkage.

Rebuild all the project to compile (then link) modules in consistent manner. Verify your includes: only <iostream>, never <iostream.h>!..

See MSDN with msvcprtd keyword...
