What exactly do all of these errors mean? Linking... msvcrt.lib(MSVCRT.dll) : error LNK2005: _exit already defined in LIBCD.lib(crt0dat.obj) msvcrt.lib(MSVCRT.dll) : error LNK2005: _strncpy already defined in LIBCD.lib(strncpy.obj) msvcrt.lib(MSVCRT.dll) : error LNK2005: _fopen already defined in LIBCD.lib(fopen.obj) msvcrt.lib(MSVCRT.dll) : error LNK2005: _fgetc already defined in LIBCD.lib(fgetc.obj) msvcrt.lib(MSVCRT.dll) : error LNK2005: _fclose already defined in LIBCD.lib(fclose.obj) msvcrt.lib(MSVCRT.dll) : error LNK2005: _setvbuf already defined in LIBCD.lib(setvbuf.obj) msvcrt.lib(MSVCRT.dll) : error LNK2005: __isctype already defined in LIBCD.lib(isctype.obj) LIBCD.lib(crt0init.obj) : warning LNK4098: defaultlib "msvcrt.lib" conflicts with use of other libs; use /NODEFAULTLIB:library Debug/RPGEngine.exe : fatal error LNK1169: one or more multiply defined symbols found Error executing link.exe.

It sounds like you're using a library that uses a different version of the C runtime library than your application. Try reading the directions for any libraries that you're using. (Though chances are you need to change your executable's settings to use the DLL version of the runtime library. /MD or /MDd)

Thats weird because I'm using SDL along with audiere and I got this to compile on my other comp. Is it possible that a .lib or .dll in the wrong place could mess everything up like this?

oh wait, nm i had to change the Use run-time library to: "Multithreaded DLL" Now it works fine. Im such an idiot.

No you're not; it's a very common mistake. The error message gives you a clue, but to realise it's the standard platform libraries that need their settings changing and not SDL libraries isn't immediately obvious.
