linking problem in VC++
I am getting a linking error "error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __beginthreadex". When i included "libcmt.lib" library in the project settings (link tab) [Projects->Settings->Link tab (Project Options)] i started getting the following errors :
LIBCD.lib(crt0dat.obj) : error LNK2005: __cinit already defined in libcmt.lib(crt0dat.obj)
LIBCD.lib(crt0dat.obj) : error LNK2005: _exit already defined in libcmt.lib(crt0dat.obj)
.............
.............

.............
Now while going through the MSDN library, i found "Linker Tools Error LNK2001" topic in which i found errors "Linking code compiled with /MT with the library LIBC.LIB causes LNK2001 on _beginthread, _beginthreadex, _endthread, and _endthreadex" and "Linking code compiled with an explicit or implicit /ML to the LIBCMT.LIB causes LNK2001 on _errno" under the head "Compiling and Linking Problems" listed.
I m not able to find out the solution for this problem. Kindly help asap. Thanx.

Thanx a lot..
When I get _beginthread and _endthreadex link errors, I go to Project\Settings\General tab and change the dropdown for Microsoft Foundation Classes from "Not using MFC" to Use MFC in a Shared DLL. That usually resolves the problem.
