visual studio 2010 express linking file in different projects

in visual studio 2010 express edition. i have a project (a static library) called prj1. prj1 has codes to create an object obj1.

in another project prj2 which is a dynamic library i have code which intantiates the object by "new obj1" (the code of obj1 is in prj1).

now when i try to build prj2 i get linking errors:

1> when i try to right click on prj2->properties->frameworkk and references if i add prj1 as new reference i get a lot of link errors like MSVCRTD.lib(MSVCR100D.dll) : error LNK2005:

2> if i do not do step1 above and right click on the solution->properties->project dependencies and then choose prj1 to depend on the prj2. then i get just get a link error which complains that : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol obj1... unresolved externals.

It would be very kind if someone can help me resolve this issue.

Thanks

Seems that your options that choose runtime library differ. One project for example links to "multi-threaded debug DLL" and other project to "multi threaded debug". When you try to link the projects to each other then you get multiply defined runtime library symbols.

Your static library must be found/added to your library directories, and dependency list, too.
