No you don't, it also tells you which symbols and where. In C++ you have a so-called one definition rule (ODR) which seems to be what you have broken with your program. > While using msvc 7.0 linker flag "/FORCE:MULTIPLE" eliminates this > error. Doing so is the equivalent of performing a brute force C-style cast - the compiler is completely at the mercy of the programmer, it can't perform any error checks and if it breaks nothing can be done. I haven't come across a case where using this flag was a proper fix.0 > Is there a similar flag for gcc? You could write a linker script or provide some linker flags, but I suggest fixing the problem and not tampering with the symptoms.
