I'm facing a LNK2005 error as I'm trying to link to 2 third party libraries with colliding symbols. The closest thing I could find was How to deal with symbol collisions between statically linked libraries?

However I'm still struggling to find a tool that would allow me to add a prefix to symbols of one of the libraries (something similar to objcopy --prefix-symbols=foo_ foo.o , but for Windows).

Have you tried FORCE:MULTIPLE as an alternative yet? http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/70abkas3.aspx – Alexander V Dec 12 '14 at 02:18
Thank you for your suggestion. The FORCE:Multiple command allows it to build, but then crashes on launch. – Andrey Pavlov Dec 15 '14 at 03:32
Resolved by namespacing and recompiling one of the libraries – Andrey Pavlov Dec 15 '14 at 03:33
