What libraries do I need to link to build a googlemock example?

Question

I'm able to compile googlemock v1.6.x in VS2010 and produce both release and debug libraries. In other words, the issue I have is NOT this GoogleMock and GoogleTest in Visual Studio 2010

Now I'm following the example here http://code.google.com/p/googlemock/wiki/ForDummies, and I'm having these errors. I did link the generated *.lib files and added the correct library directory in VS2010. So what else do I need to link?

Answer 1

This looks like you've got a mismatch in your choice of C Runtime and C++ Standard Libraries.

You can choose between the static (.lib) or shared (DLL) versions of these using the compiler switches /MT, /MTd, /MD or /MDd. MT variants indicate the static libraries, and MD the shared. The d appendix indicates the debug versions of each.

These can be set in Visual Studio by going to Project => Properties => Configuration Properties => C/C++ => Code Generation => Runtime Library

The problem appears to be that your project uses /MD and /MDd, but that GMock and Gtest were built with /MT and /MTd. You need to recompile GMock/Gtest with the /MD and /MDd flags, or change yours to /MT and /MTd.
