Solution:

This looks like you've got a mismatch in your choice of C Runtime and C++ Standard Libraries. You can choose between the static (.lib) or shared (DLL) versions of these using the compiler switches/MT, /MTd, /MD or /MDd. MT variants indicate the static libraries, and MD the shared. The d appendix indicates the debug versions of each. These can be set in Visual Studio by going to Project => Properties => Configuration Properties => C/C++ => Code Generation => Runtime Library The problem appears to be that your project uses /MDand /MDd, but that GMock and Gtest were built with/MT and /MTd. You need to recompile GMock/Gtest with the /MD and /MDd flags, or change yours to /MTand /MTd.
