Linking warnings.

I've been getting some linking warnings that I don't know how to
get rid of. The only way that I can get my program to compile
is to use \FORCE. Has anyone else encountered the following
situation?

LINK : warning LNK4075: ignoring /INCREMENTAL due to /FORCE specification
MSVCRT.lib(MSVCRT.dll) : warning LNK4006: _malloc already defined in libcmtd.lib(dbgheap.obj); second definition ignored
MSVCRT.lib(MSVCRT.dll) : warning LNK4006: _fprintf already defined in libcmtd.lib(fprintf.obj); second definition ignored
MSVCRT.lib(MSVCRT.dll) : warning LNK4006: _realloc already defined in libcmtd.lib(dbgheap.obj); second definition ignored
MSVCRT.lib(MSVCRT.dll) : warning LNK4006: _free already defined in libcmtd.lib(dbgheap.obj); second definition ignored
LINK : warning LNK4098: defaultlib "MSVCRT" conflicts with use of other libs; use /NODEFAULTLIB:library

I've tried various combinations of using /NODEFAULTLIB
(including msvcrt.lib but not libcmtd.lib, etc, etc. etc) but each
of these results in more linking errors.

My program does run fine when I use the /FORCE option but it
does bother me that I'm unable to get rid of these warnings
altogether.

Any suggestions?

menu Project->Settings
"Link" tab
category "Input"
Object/library modules: MSVCRT.lib libcmtd.lib
Ignore libraries: MSVCRT.lib libcmtd.lib

YOu tell DevStudio to ignore both libaraies and specify them in correct order - MSVCRT.lib first.

The error caused with the functions presented in both libraries.

Ok, tried that and I get:

See MSDN article Q148652...

You are probably trying to link multiple modules that have been compiled using different threading models. In Project Settings, C/C++ tab, Code Generation, change to a multithreaded model.

Yes, I've already got it set to
Debug Multithreaded.

The ordering thing is weird also.
According to Q148652, I need
to have it link
MSVCRT before LIBCMTD but when I do
that, I get a load of errors as
noted above. If I do it the
other way (LIBCMTD first), then
I only get a few errors (first message).

Although the program runs fine with
the /FORCE, it is still a little
unsettling that I have to use this
in the first place. It makes
me nervous when I can't get rid
of all of the warnings.
