[hdf-forum] Static Lib with VS2005

[Robert Seip]

Might want to check your compiler switches.  I've not built HDF5 with
VS2005, but the default C runtime lib in VS2005 is the dynamic link version,
which is what you're showing below.  For statically linked HDF5 in VS2003,
the setting I have is  /MLd (debug) or /ML (release).  The link below
addresses changing from the VS2005 default to /MT or /MTd.  The difference
between /ML and /MT is multi-thread support in /MT, but just be aware that
in VS2003 the flag (at least the one in my build) is /ML flavor.  To the
best of my knowledge, MFC does not complicate things here.

 

Hope this is a help.

I have a VS2005 MFC program in which I'd like to use HDF5.  For version
1.9.19, the dll version works, but the static libraries do not.  When
linking in I'm getting a variety of LNK2005 errors, ie, some function has
already been defined elsewhere:

 

56>MSVCRTD.lib(MSVCR80D.dll) : error LNK2005: _strcspn already defined in
LIBCMTD.lib(strcspn.obj)

 

Is it possible to link statically with an MFC based program?

 

Ray.
