The other day I was playing around with Google’s C++ Testing Framework (a.k.a. gtest). I tried to build the Code with Visual Studio 2008 Express and got some strange linker errors. I was able to solve the errors thanks to this site. In essence, I had to change the “Runtime Library” Setting in the C/C++ Code Generation options to “Multi-Threaded” for a release build and to “Multi-Threaded Debug” for a debug build.
