error LNK2038: mismatch detected for 'RuntimeLibrary': value 'MT_StaticRelease' doesn't match value 'MD_DynamicRelease'

Question

I'm getting the following error when I try to build my C++ / CX WinRT component for ARM:

error LNK2038: mismatch detected for 'RuntimeLibrary': value 'MT_StaticRelease' doesn't match value 'MD_DynamicRelease' in ColorSpc.obj

The file ColorSpc.cpp is in the same project, which is not linking to any other libraries (other than the default).

If I remove that file from the project, then the linker complains about the next .cpp file (and so on).

I'm getting the same error whether I build Release or Debug (only the libraries mentioned are release or debug respectively).

The project builds fine for Win32 and x64.

Answer 1

Hello,

Would you please provide us the whole codes to reproduce this issue,

You can upload your project to skydriver
http://skydrive.live.com/

It is not necessary that you send out the whole of your project. We just need a simplest sample to reproduce the problem. You can remove any confidential information or business details from it.

Best regards,
Jesse

We resolved the issue.  Seems we had the following in one of our header files to work around in issue with one of the earlier versions of VS 2012.

// Define _STATIC_CPPLIB, otherwise you will get "unresoved linker error '__int64 const std::_BADOFF'" in VC2012
#define _STATIC_CPPLIB
#define _DISABLE_DEPRECATE_STATIC_CPPLIB  // disable warnings about defining _STATIC_CPPLIB

This is no longer needed.
