Link Error _DllMain@12 already defined

[webdev]

Here's the situation:

I have a VS 2005 project and 'Use of MFC' is set as [Use Windows Standard Libraries]. This project generates a DLL

When compiling, I am getting the following link errors

1>uafxcwd.lib(dllmodul.obj) : error LNK2005: _DllMain@12 already defined in MyDLL.obj
1>uafxcwd.lib(afxmem.obj) : error LNK2005: "void * __cdecl operator new(unsigned int)" (??2@YAPAXI@Z) already defined in LIBCMTD.lib(new.obj)
1>uafxcwd.lib(afxmem.obj) : error LNK2005: "void __cdecl operator delete(void *)" (??3@YAXPAX@Z) already defined in LIBCMTD.lib(dbgdel.obj)
1>uafxcwd.lib(afxmem.obj) : error LNK2005: "void * __cdecl operator new[](unsigned int)" (??_U@YAPAXI@Z) already defined in libcpmtd.lib(newaop.obj)
1>uafxcwd.lib(afxmem.obj) : error LNK2005: "void __cdecl operator delete[](void *)" (??_V@YAXPAX@Z) already defined in LIBCMTD.lib(delete2.obj)

I don't understand why the project is linking with uafxcwd.lib

Any idea?

A LNK2005 error occurs when the CRT library and MFC libraries are linked in the wrong order in Visual C++

I've been to that link already and tried the fixes but the following error still exists

1>uafxcwd.lib(dllmodul.obj) : error LNK2005: _DllMain@12 already defined in MyDLL.obj

What puzzles me here is that, my DLL is set as a Standard Windows Library (non MFC), it should not link to uafxcwd.lib (an MFC library).. am I correct?

It depends on actual code inclusions. In case some part of your code "touches" MFC stuff, you just cannot avoid the dependency. And make sure your project has no "AFX" defines.
