linking with static mfc library

[coolshashi]

Hi

my application runs fine when i run using mfc in shared dll. But when i switch to use mfc in static linking it give some linking problems.Im using some external libraries also.
The linking errors look some thing like this..

Any help is greately appreciated,

The linking problems you have are related to the debug elements of the DLLs. You should not statically link the debug DLLs.

There really is no need to either, as you shouldn't distribute debug versions of your application.

If you intend to statically link the release version, that should be fine. You should not get these problems.

Hope this helps,

1) Do a search for argv in your application, and show me what returns.

2) Do the same for mbctype, only show the first 4 or 5 lines returned.
