link error LNK2001

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi, 
I've been walking through the process of getting a multi-threaded application to compile.  My first attempts worked in Release mode but not Debug.  After reviewing several other posts related to link problems, I resolved this by changing the linker settings and ignoring the following libraries: 

libc.lib
libcmt.lib
msvcrt.lib
libcmtd.lib
msvcrtd.lib

After doing this, however, I now get several thousand errors similar to the item below, although the particular external symbol message varies:

error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __RTC_Shutdown

I've tried every "obvious" variation I can to try and get this to work without success.  The application still compiles fine in Release mode, however, so I'm hoping this is just a configuration setting...

Thanks in advance,

-Ken

	For the record, I resolved this by ignoring ONLY libcmt.lib.
