Hi guys,

I have a static library in which I have included the boost regex header. This static library compiles fine with no errors.

But then I want to use this static library in an MFC application I made.

I keep getting the following linking error:

error LNK2005: "public: static unsigned int __cdecl std::char_traits<unsigned short>::length(unsigned short const *)" (?length@?$char_traits@G@std@@SAIPBG@Z) already defined in msvcprtd.lib(MSVCP71D.dll)

What is the problem and how can I solve it?
