VC8 Link to Multi-Threaded Debug

Okay I know this is a rather basic question, but in VC6 and VC7 it was very easy to change how you linked your application to the runtime libraries. VC8 apparently is lacking this option or I cannot find it.

- I created a standard Win32 Project, Empty.
- Project --> Properties
- Looked EVERYWHERE and I cannot find out how to change it from Single-Threaded Debug to Multi-Threaded Debug.

(Alot of websites say: Project --> Properties --> C++ Tab --> Code Generation --> It is found here. However, There is no C++ Tab when I hit Project --> Properties...)

I assume I can just add '/MDd' to the compiler options but I'd like to change it properly. I asked a few people in my comp sci class and none of them had experience with VC8 yet.

I am using Visual Studio 2005 and the setting is right where your post says it is; Configuration Properties -> C/C++ -> Code Generation.


One thing to be careful about is what file you have selected when you choose "Properties..." from the menu. I right click on the Project name, and choose "Properties." having the Solution selected will take you to a different set of properties. Having a code file selected will take you to the properties for that specific file (I think.)

Well it seems you are right and those pages I checked first are right.

Problem is nobody told me that a source file had to present in the Solution.

See, right click the project name, select properties. There was never a C/C++ tab in my blank project. Soon as I added a source file, sure enough it appeared.

Thanks for the help,
