Each object/library describes what symbols it expects to be present in other objects what symbols it defines If two objects define the same symbol, you get exactly this linker error. In your case, both mfcs80.lib and MSVCRT.lib define the _DllMain@12 symbol. Getting rid of the error: find out which of both libraries you actually need find out how to tell the linker not to use the other one (using e.g. the tip from James Hopkin) share|improve this answer answered Dec 5 '08 at 10:47 xtofl 27.3k664129 3 +1 Good point - I didn't quite read the error properly. I had a similar linker error myself recently when the MFC libraries option had mysteriously turned itself on. –James Hopkin Dec 5 '08 at 11:20 Accurate Explaination. Thanks for that. :) –mahesh Dec 5 '08 at 11:41 2 Missing detail - some libraries define weak linkages, defining the correct library inclusion order would have mfc used first and msvcrt second and so silently drop the weak linkage –Greg Domjan Sep 19 '12 at 16:09 add a comment| up vote 26 down vote I had the same error message, but none of the answers here solved it for me. So if you Encounter that Problem when creating a DLL Project that uses MFC, it can be resolved by entering the following line: extern "C" { int _afxForceUSRDLL; } to the cpp file where DllMain

visual studio c++ 6.0):[FONT="Courier New"]NC_Plugin.lib(NC_Plugin.obj) : error LNK2005: _DllMain@12 already defined in SWFSPlugin.obj[/FONT]My problem is that I really need to keep my DllMain. Is there any way to do this?Thanks,DC.Posted by Dan in Plugin Development on Mar 01 2007, 03:01 pm QUOTE:My problem is that I really need to keep my DllMain.That could be a bit of a sticking point. Can you give us more detail as to why DllMain is your only option? Depending on what you're trying to do, there could be some options. Of the two that come to mind, the first you could implement with the current SDK, the other would require changes to the SDK.If you'd be more comfortable discussing this offline, just send an email to support@northcode.comPosted by dc.groups in Plugin Development on Mar 07 2007, 02:50 amI have spoked with support team and the conclusion we've come is that the best workaround for this is to use the ctor of the plugin class to do some initializing stuff.In case you need some ATL infra, you can init your _Module object by doing something like this:[FONT="Courier New"]// this is the equivalent of BEGIN_OBJECT_MAP/END_OBJECT_MAPstatic _ATL_OBJMAP_ENTRY zeFakeObjMal[] = { {NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL}};CPlugin::CPlugin() { _Module.Init(zeFakeObjMal, g_hInstance, &LIBID_PLUGINLib); // other initialization code can go here}~CPlugin::CPlugin() { // other cleanup code can go here. _Module.Term();}[/FONT]Thanks,DC.Posted by SRaghavan in Plugin Development on Mar 03 2008, 12:40 pmhi, i started a new clean plugin (ie, not modifying one of the existing sample plugins) it's the final requirement of my project leader "make sure you know what options they have set in visual studio by default" (so far it's passed all our other tests with flying colors ) before we decide if we want to go with swf studio, and i'm getting this error :[FONT="Fixedsys"]1>mfcs80ud.lib(dllmodul.obj) : error LNK2005: _DllMain@12 already defined in NC_Plugin.lib(NC_Plugin.obj)[/FONT]i have no need to link to dllmain, but i'm not sure what option or options i have set, that is causing this error. anyone have any ideas.
