What it is

So I followed a tutorial Introduction to Google Test and CMake [this video] , which was working fine. But when I move the project folder to another directory, the project breaks and gives me this error: FAILED: test/ExampleTests.exe . . . [build] LINK : warning LNK4098: defaultlib 'LIBCMTD' conflicts with use of other libs; use /NODEFAULTLIB:library [build] test\ExampleTests.exe : fatal error LNK1169: one or more multiply defined symbols found [build] ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed.

I moved the folder from Desktop\Example to Desktop\HelloWorld\Example .I tried deleting
