Huge Amount of Linker Issues with Release Build Only


Anyone have idea on this? Linker errors are way out of my wheelhouse, especially ones like this.

Is there any more info I should include?

Solution

  • You seem to be linking projects built with different CRT library settings, one with Multi-Threaded, another one with Multi-Threaded Debug. Adjust the settings for all the projects to use the very same flavour of the library and the issue should go away!
